“…In the present study, television is thought of as being the major source of young people's environmental information, and school is the second major provider. The present study also shows convergence with other studies (Pawlowski, 1996;Ivy, Lee, & Chuan, 1998;Connell, Fien, Lee, Sykes, & Yencken, 1999;Barrett & Kuroda, 2002;Said, Yahaya, & Ahmadun, 2007) where the media were highlighted as the main source of environmental information. In the present study, television has also been afforded a high score for provision of information, but it has a lower rating of reliability.…”

Today's enviornmetnal problems cannot be solved solely with technical and economic measures, a better understanding of human attitudes and behaviors is also required. This study examines air travelers' environmetnal knowledge, environmental attitudes, environmental behaviors, and pro-environmental air travel behavior in Taiwan. The relationships between environmental consciousness components with the socio-demographic variables are also tested. A field survey was administered to collect data from airline customers. The results show that Taiwanese passengers have moderate to high levels of environmetnal knowledge and overall possess a favorable environmetnal attitude. While they engage in general environmentally friendly behavior quite often, their pro-enivornmental air travel behavior is low. In addition, some differences concerning environmetnal knowledge, attitudes and behaviors exist across gender, age, and education factors. The contribution of this research is to broaden the udnerstanding of airline customers by examining their environmental consciousness and provide insights for airlines' selective marketing to enviornmentally concerned customers.

“…Later analyses re-coded the responses so that agreement always indicated support for the NEP. Second, nine information source options were listed, as adapted from other studies (Hausbeck et al, 1992;Holl et al, 1999;Ivy et al, 1998). Third, measures of knowledge about the environment and sustainability are very situation-specific and time-specific, and thus have not been consistently applied (e.g.…”

Universities often lack a detailed understanding of the environmental backgrounds of their students. One way to improve understanding is through segmentation, which breaks down a population into groups of people with similar characteristics. This study aims to use segmentation to determine groups within the student population, based on environmental attitudes, and compare these groups in terms of environmental knowledge, activities, information sources and demographic characteristics. This study of undergraduate students identified six groups, with varying levels of support for the New Environmental Paradigm (NEP). Factor scores varied among groups with similar NEP scores. Student groups with high NEP scores used more information sources, participated in more environment-friendly activities and were more likely to be female than those with low scores. Environmental knowledge using four indicators was not significantly correlated to attitude groups. The most used information sources were from various electronic and print media.
