Abstract
Recently, an increasing focus has been made on studying environmental problems and therelated social phenomena. Understanding the environmentalism and its influencing factorsin the case of higher education students can greatly help the preparation and identificationof sustainability policies and educational practices in higher education institutions. In this study, we investigated environmental attitudes and pro-environmental behavior ofstudents at 17 Hungarian universities as a function of a number of hypothesized influencingfactors. These included materialistic values, life satisfaction, political views, and views on theCovid-19 pandemic. According to our results, these were all related to environmentalism. Moreenvironmentally conscious students were less materialistic, less right-wing in their politicalviews, more satisfied with their lives, and also differed in their views on pandemic issues. Besidea weaker impact of environmentalism and political views, life satisfaction was largely influencedby the relative financial situation perceived by respondents.
