Abstract
The purpose of this study is to grasp actual conditions of high school students' understanding of environmental problems from the viewpoint of moral values by a questionnaire survey. It has already been cleared by sociological studies and social psychological studies that high morality (which has almost same meaning as moral values) are very important and useful in solving environmental problems which have become a social dilemma for many people. The targets of this study are students of Kanagawa prefectural high school. Their actual conditions were evaluated by five evaluation standards of moral values, i.e. 1 Justice Reasoning, 2 Role-taking Ability, 3 Respect for Life, 4 Normative Consciousness and 5 Moralistic Action Force. Environmental problems were classified into four categories, i.e. “Regional and Global Environment”, “Nature and Creatures”, “Resources/Energy” and“Others (Common Consideration) ”. Results were given as follows: 1 The score of“Nature and Creatures” was clearly higher than those of other categories. 2 However, as for the questions regarding tax and others which are levied forcibly, even they were belonging to“Nature and Creatures”, the score was clearly low.
