Abstract

This study tested a model in which pro-environmental attitudes mediate the association between personality traits (locus of control and future orientation) and pro-environmental behavior. Two hundred and thirty participants completed measures of the above concepts and provided information about demographic variables known to be associated with pro-environmental behavior. Path analysis supported a double mediation model in which future orientation and pro-environmental attitudes (in this order) mediate the association between locus of control and behavior. Of the demographic variables, only age was directly associated with behavior. The results are discussed in light of the theory and previous findings. Keywords: future orientation, locus of control, mediation model, personality, pro-environmental behavior.
