Summary
Changes in ecosystems are caused by human activities, climate change, habitat changes (changes in land use and physical adjustment of natural resources), changes in population, over-exploitation, technological change, and pollution (Keshavarz & Karami, 2016). Various environmental problems pose a threat to the environment, including global warming, urban air pollution, lack of water, environmental noise, and loss of biodiversity. Many of these problems are rooted in human behavior and can be managed by changing relevant behaviors so as to reduce their environmental impact (Steg & Vlek, 2009). One effort that can be done to solve environmental problems is in the form of fostering a desire to care about the environment that affects a person's behavior. Hungerford, and Tomera developed a model of environmentally responsible behavior In their model, one of the desires to care about the environment is influenced by personality factors. One of the desires to care about the environment is influenced by personality factors. personality factors are the locus of control and personal responsibility (Pan, Chou, Morrison, & Lin, 2018)
