Environmental Attitudes of Technological Students

Abstract

Environmental attitudes of 47 students at a technical college were surveyed. Attitudes assessed were: perceived severity, causes, and solutions of environmental problems, and personal commitment to solutions. Ss who perceived environmental problems as severe were older, from larger families, and were more committed personally to the solutions. Similarly, Ss who perceived causes of problems as institutional were less religious, perceived the problem as severe, and were committed personally to solutions.
