Abstract

This study was performed to identify relationships between flow associated with outdoor recreation, pro-environmental attitude, and pro-environmental behavioral intention. One hundred and thirty-one students from outdoor recreation clubs at 20 universities participated in the study. Structural equation modeling by using AMOS 20.0 revealed the following. First, outdoor recreation-associated flow has a direct positive effect on pro-environmental attitudes. Second, the pro-environmental attitude has a direct positive effect on pro-environmental behavioral intention. Third, outdoor recreation-associated flow does not have a direct positive effect on pro-environmental behavioral intention. Fourth, outdoor recreation-associated flow indirectly influences pro-environmental behavioral intention mediated by environmental attitude.
