“…In order to change human behavior, attitudes and perceived behavioral control are needed, which have a direct influence on behavior and intrinsic motivation [16]. The ecological and environmental problems we face today can be solved by improving the understanding of human behavior, and the ecological attitude transmitted by parents to children, depending on family communication methods, can be one of the principles of children's ecological behavior [17]. Research has shown that children's positive attitudes on the sustainability scale is higher than that of their parents, and the latter's behavior is more positive than their children's.…”

The conducted research reveals the significance of parents’ values and social environment factors, and their influence on pro-ecological attitudes. Parents from Lithuania were invited to participate in the study by filling out a questionnaire that aimed to assess their personal and ecological values, as well as factors of their social environment; the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale was used to assessed the pro-ecological attitude of the respondents. The results demonstrate that, among the personal values of parents, money takes a place of priority, but this cannot be treated only in the context of materialism, because parents seek the good of their children by fulfilling their needs, while also contributing to their education regarding financial literacy and consumption. In the context of ecological values, the results reveal the values of safe food and fresh air, showing how much parents care about their own and their children’s health, as well as noting air pollution as one of the pressing eco-problems. The results also show that family and school are factors of the social environment that most significantly influence parents’ pro-ecological attitude. The results reveal the respondents’ overall support for a pro-environmental worldview, and that parents who are older, more educated and live in the city are more likely to have a pro-environmental attitude.

“…Peran orangtua dalam membentuk perilaku anak peduli terhadap kebersihan lingkungan bukan hanya pada kebiasaan orang tua dalam menjaga kebersihan di rumah, melainkan bagaimana orang tua dapat memberikan penguatan seperti memberikan pujian saat anak berperilaku baik terhadap lingkungan dan secara terus menerus mengkomunikasikan pentingnya menjaga kebersihan lingkungan (Collado et al, 2017). Kesimpulan ini juga dikuatkan di dalam studi di Afrika Selatan, dimana kebiasaan orang tua di rumah dalam menjaga kebersihan lingkungan hanya memiliki dampak minimal terhadap kesadaran anak dalam berperilaku menyampah tanpa adanya reinforcement baik dalam bentuk pujian maupun hukuman (Matsekoleng, 2020). Seperti dalam studi ini, keterlibatan orang tua Siswa A, bukan hanya memberikan nasehat untuk menjaga kebersihan melainkan memberikan alternatif bagi Siswa A untuk membuang sampah di tempat seharusnya, cara ini lebih memiliki dampak kuat terhadap perilaku tidak menyampah Siswa A dibandingkan dengan Siswa C dan S. Hasil temuan ini juga memperlihatkan bahwa faktor lingkungan melalui modelling atau penerapan reward maupun punishment akan menjadi efektif jika dibarengi dengan faktor internal yaitu memberikan pengetahuan dan kesadaran pada anak secara terus menerus, sehingga anak dapat mengelola pengetahuannya di dalam membentuk perilaku.…”

Littering behavior studies are essential amid high waste conditions in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze student littering behavior changes through a reinforcement program in Junior High School in Depok, West Java. Using an explorative-qualitative approach and collecting data through in-depth interviews with key informants, the study found that students' littering behavior can be categorized as active and passive. Active littering behavior is based on students' lack of concern for the environment due to insufficient knowledge of the impact of waste. Then passive littering behavior is caused by habits that delay littering even though they are aware of the waste dangers. Continuous reinforcement at school in positive and negative reinforcement through the "Green School Program" can reduce student littering behavior, both actively and passively.
