“…For one, the researcher crafted probing items using results from the document analysis and hence were quite theoretical. A similar process was observed in studies conducted by Price et al (2014), Mamat and Mokhtarb (2012), and Cordano et al (2003), where similar investigations provided a new perspective for an area of study and enriched the functionality of the tool.…”

“…Cordano et al (2003) assessed people's attitudes and beliefs about the environment, while Price et al (2014) studied how such attitudes and beliefs are influenced by culture. Mamat and Mokhtarb (2012) developed a similar tool that assesses environmental practice and attitude among society and the effectiveness of environmental education. Research works done by Liefländer and Bogner (2013) and Kopnina (2017) used a two-dimensional scale of ecocentric and anthropocentric attitudes.…”

Recent developments in Environmental Communication furthered the importance of tool development to measure practice with ecocentric orientation. This research aimed to develop a tool that can measure the level of ecocentrism. This research employed a descriptive research design, and a survey was used as the primary data gathering method. The ecocentric-driven environmental communication tool has undergone four phases: the development of indicators, generation of reliability evidence, and determination of limitations, and refinement of tool. The tool was administered to 225 fourth-year college students of De La Salle University-Dasmariñas (DLSU-D), a higher education institution that explicitly integrated ecocentrism in its curriculum. Mean, percentage, and frequency count were used to analyze the socio-demographic and environmental communication. Chi-square Likelihood Ratio was also used to analyze the relationship between environmental communication and ecocentrism. The novel output of this research was the identification of aspects of ecocentrism, namely, impacts of human activities on the environment, environmental awareness, sustainable practices, environmental stewardship, collective action, and compliance with environmental laws. The research was able to develop probing items for each aspect. It was recommended that the probing items be developed based on the specific environmental contexts.

Purpose of the study: The aim of this article is to analyze the attitude of students to ethical consumption as a new environmental practice; to explore current research on ethical consumption. Methodology:The leading methods for the study of this problem are the methods of questioning and testing, allowing to make a qualitative analysis of the students' attitude to the new environmental practiceethical consumption and contributing to a more detailed identification of such issues as: knowledge of students about ethical consumption; students' attitude to separate waste disposal; students' attitude to the use of environmental packaging products; identification of students' practices of secondary consumption. Results:The article deals with the theoretical and methodological foundations of the analysis of students' attitudes to ethical consumption as a new environmental practice. It is established that the level of students' awareness of ethical consumption is low. The proportion of informed students among social and humanities specialties is twice more than high as students of technical specialties. It is revealed that more than a third of respondents do not know about the production of environmentally friendly goods. Almost all students are aware of the separate disposal of garbage and believe that it is necessary to install the appropriate bins. More than half of students are ready to sort garbage in the presence of such containers, and the readiness of humanitarians is 1.5 times higher than that of students of technical specialties. The main reasons why respondents would not buy goods in eco-friendly packaging are the lack of funds and the lack of sense for students. The majority of students believe the practice of secondary consumption to be popular one. Applications of this study:The data obtained in the work can be used in environmental psychology, social psychology, pedagogy, the psychology of education, age psychology, sociology, as well as for further theoretical development of this issue.Novelty/Originality of this study: The originality of this article lies in the analysis of the social phenomenon of ethical consumption, which implies that only purchase and consumption of those goods, the production of which does not cause great harm to the environment, those goods in the production of which are not infringed the rights of the worker and moreover child labor is not used, and most importantly the recycling of waste after consumption of the product will not harm nature is ethical one. know about the production of environmentally friendly products, students of Humanities (54%) among them 2.5 times more than students of technical specialties (22%).Almost all students (96%) know about separate waste disposal and believe that it is necessary to install the appropriate urns. However, only 68% of respondents are ready to sort garbage in the presence of such containers, and the readiness of humanitarians (82%) is 1.5 times higher than of techies (54%).The main reasons why respondents would not buy products in eco-f...
