桃園縣國小六年級學童友善環境行為及其影響因素研究

Abstract

本研究主要目的在探討國小學生友善環境行為的情形，及影響國小學生友善環境行為因素。研究選取桃園縣國小六年級學生為研究對象，共發出420份問卷，回收有效樣本390份，回收率92.9%。得到重要結果如下： 一、研究對象之環境知識得分約中等，內控人格，環境價值觀呈現對自然環境認同，對於環境變化的感受屬中等偏敏銳程度，對環境問題的關心程度則介於關心和非常關心之間。 二、研究對象之環境知識受母親教育程度及職業影響，父親方面則沒有差異，表示母親對就讀國小子女之影響力顯著大於父親。 三、研究對象之環境知識、內外控信念、環境價值觀及環境敏感度和友善環境行為意圖均呈顯著高度正相關。 四、研究對象之內外控信念、環境價值觀、環境敏感度及友善環境行為意圖與友善環境行為均呈顯著高度正相關。 五、研究對象之環境價值觀、環境敏感度對友善環境行為意圖有顯著影響力，其解釋力為16.5%。 六、研究對象之環境敏感度與友善環境行為意圖對友善環境行為有顯著影響力，其解釋力為32.9%。 七、以徑路分析進行模式適配度考驗，環境敏感度和友善環境行為意圖對友善環境行為有直接影響力。 最後依據研究結果進行討論，並提供具體建議以作為相關單位及未來研究者之參考。

The purposes of this study were to investigate the pro-environmental behaviors and their related factors among sixth grade students in Taoyuan County. A cross-sectional survey was administered to a sample of 420 students with 390 returned (92.9% response rate). The major findings of this study are: 1.The participants had medium level of environmental knowledge, internal locus of control, recognize the value of natural environment, above medium level of environmental sensitivity, and concerned or very concerned about environment problems. 2.Mother’s level of education and occupation are associated with participant’s environmental knowledge but father’s have no significance. Mother seemed to have more influence than father in environmental knowledge. 3.Bivariate correlation showed significant positive association between the intention to pro-environmental behaviors and each of the environmental knowledge, locus of control, environmental values, and environmental sensitivity. 4.Bivariate correlation showed significant positive association between pro-environmental behaviors and each of the locus of control, environmental values, environmental sensitivity, and the intention to pro-environmental behaviors. 5.Environmental values and environmental sensitivity significantly predict the intention to pro-environmental behaviors with the R square value of 16.5%. 6.Environmental sensitivity and the intention to pro-environmental behaviors significantly predict pro-environmental behaviors with the R square value of 32.9%. 7.The goodness of fit indicators from path analyses showed environmental sensitivity and intention to pro-environmental behaviors have direct influence on pro-environmental behaviors. Based on the findings, this author also provided suggestions for the related authorities and further studies.
