Abstract
This research investigates the impact of environmental knowledge, law-abiding consciousness, and risk perception on environmental behavior through structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis. The results found that: 1. The higher the awareness of environmental knowledge, the higher the friendliness of environmental protection behavior. 2. The higher the awareness of risk perception, the higher the friendliness of environmental protection behavior. 3. The stronger the law-abiding consciousness, the higher the friendliness of environmental protection behavior. 4. Individual cognitive ability has a positive and significant impact on environmental knowledge, risk perception and law-abiding consciousness.
Highlights
Inglehart (1989), one of the founders of environmental protection theory, argues that environmental protection behavior is a manifestation of the improvement of quality of life and self-expression of values in the postmaterialist era
This article makes empirical research on three influencing factors of environmental protection behavior based on the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS 2010) database, respectively, environmental knowledge, law-abiding consciousness and risk perception
[8] Based on the above research foundations, this study proposes the following hypotheses: H1 The higher the attention of environmental knowledge, the higher the friendliness of environmental protection behavior
Summary
Inglehart (1989), one of the founders of environmental protection theory, argues that environmental protection behavior is a manifestation of the improvement of quality of life and self-expression of values in the postmaterialist era. Environmental behavior arising is the result of nation development and their gradual emphasis on safety considerations. Environmental protection has become an important consideration in human socio-economic development decisions. [1] For the study of environmental protection behavior issues, academic circles have carried out discussions in many fields such as ecology, economics, sociology, behavioral science, etc. The important causal variables of environmental behavior lie in different subject areas. A large number of studies can prove that the environmental damage caused by human behavior themselves is the root cause of environmental protection. This article makes empirical research on three influencing factors of environmental protection behavior based on the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS 2010) database, respectively, environmental knowledge, law-abiding consciousness and risk perception
