“…In line with previous research (Erdogan, Ok, and Marcinkowski 2012;Ugulu 2015), the KMO and Bartlett tests, an exploratory factor analysis, descriptive statistics, Cronbach's alpha, and a CFA were computed. The stability of the scale was assessed by using multi-group invariance testing.…”

This article describes the development and validation of the Attitudes toward Sustainable Development scale, a quantitative 20-item scale that measures Italian university students' attitudes toward sustainable development. A total of 484 undergraduate students completed the questionnaire. The validity and reliability of the scale was statistically tested by computing the KMO and Bartlett tests and via an exploratory factor analysis, descriptive statistics, Cronbach's alpha, a confirmatory factor analysis and a multi-group invariance testing. The results of the principal components factor analysis show that the scale consists of the following four dimensions, with five items in each: environment, economy, society and education. The overall structure and measurement of the scale are confirmed by the confirmatory factor analysis and by the multi-group invariance testing. Internal reliability, which was found using Cronbach's alpha, varies between .660 and .854. The results show that the instrument meets the validity and reliability criteria. To demonstrate its utility, the scale was applied to detect differences in sustainable development attitudes among students pursuing degrees in psychology and in agriculture. Relevant differences were detected for the dimensions of environment and society. The Attitudes toward Sustainable Development scale could be useful for understanding the ways in which students think about sustainability issues and could be used to investigate the relationship between sustainability attitudes and other variables.

“…Cronbach's alpha values of PE, EE, SI, AUT, BI, and UB were 0.734, 0.805, 0.709, 0.733, 0.803, and 0.765, respectively, and were bigger than 0.700, so the reliability was acceptable [31]. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value was 0.960, so the collected data were suitable for factor analysis [32][33][34][35].…”

In China, the utilization of medical resources is contentious, and a large of hospitals are seriously congested because of the huge population and uneven distribution of medical resources. Online health communities (OHCs) provide patients with platforms to interact with physicians and to get professional suggestions and emotional support. This study adopted the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology to identify factors influencing patients' behavioral intention and usage behavior when interacting with physicians in OHCs. An investigation involving 378 valid responses was conducted through several Chinese OHCs to collect data. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling were utilized to test hypotheses. Both the reliability and validity of the scales were acceptable. All five hypotheses were supported, and behavioral intention played a significant mediating role between independent variables and dependent variables. This study clarified the mechanism by which performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and attitude toward using technology affect usage behavior through the mediation of behavioral intention in OHCs. These findings suggest that OHCs can change the actions of websites such as adopting some incentives to promote patients' intention of interaction. Physicians should understand patients' actual attitudes toward OHCs and try to guide patients in their interactions, improving the quality of physician-patient interaction.

“…The 4-item environmental responsibility scale from the same authors measured responsibility for the environment [66,68]. The 4-item behavioral intention scale designed and revised by Hungerford et al (1980), Hsu and Roth (1998), Erdogan, Ok and Marcinkowski (2012) was applied to evaluate willingness to engage in environmentally responsible behaviors (eco-management, consumerism, persuasion and civic actions) [42,66,69]. For the behavioral intention questions, only four of the five categories of environmental behavior were used.…”

Will the Future Be Greener? The Environmental Behavioral Intentions of University Tourism Students

et al. 2018

Sustainable tourism is essential for tourism sector development. Environmentally responsible behaviors and behavioral intentions are important prerequisites for sustainable tourism. This research explores the behavioral intentions of university tourism students and significant factors affecting these behavioral intentions. The questionnaire survey method was applied to university students from the tourism departments of nine universities in Taiwan. A total of 390 valid questionnaires were collected. The pro-environmental behavioral intentions of the students ranged from moderate to high. Environmental knowledge positively affected behavioral intentions and positively influenced environmental sensitivity and environmental responsibility. Furthermore, environmental sensitivity and environmental responsibility exerted a full effect in mediating the relationship between environmental knowledge and behavioral intentions. Hence, increasing students' environmental knowledge will enhance their behavioral intentions. However, by improving students' sensitivity and responsibility, their intentions to protect the environment can be more effectively elevated. Development implications and recommendations for sustainable tourism and higher education are provided.
