The results showed that there was a positive relationship between personal responsibility and pro-environmental intention. Students who have a high personal responsibility have several advantages, namely (1) can learned how to respect the rights and feelings of others, decide their own desires and the importance of being responsible; (2) able to become independent learners, able to play an active role in learning and their desires more responsibly, and (3) can learn how to respect the rights and feelings of others, decide their own desires and the importance of being responsible.

Highlights

Changes in ecosystems are caused by human activities, climate change, habitat changes (Bellard, Bertelsmeier, Leadley, Thuiller, & Courchamp, 2014; Fedele, Locatelli, Djoudi, & Colloff, 2018; Kanianska, 2016; Rechkemmer & Von Falkenhayn, 2009; Seebacher & Franklin, 2012), population changes, over-exploitation, technological change, and pollution (Keshavarz & Karami, 2016)
The results showed that there was a positive relationship between personal responsibility and pro-environmental intention
It can be interpreted if there is an increase of 1 score of personal responsibility it will be followed by an increase in proenvironmental intention of 0.191 in the constant 61.910 through the regression model Ŷ

Summary

Introduction

Changes in ecosystems are caused by human activities, climate change, habitat changes (changes in land use and physical adjustment of natural resources) (Bellard, Bertelsmeier, Leadley, Thuiller, & Courchamp, 2014; Fedele, Locatelli, Djoudi, & Colloff, 2018; Kanianska, 2016; Rechkemmer & Von Falkenhayn, 2009; Seebacher & Franklin, 2012), population changes, 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 (Anand, 2013; Ashurst, Hargitt, & Palmer, 2017; Ernst, Blood, & Beery, 2015; Hasnat, Kabir, & Hossain, 2018; Sadhu, Garg, & Kumar, 2018; Steg & Vlek, 2009; United Nations Environment Programme, 2017). Many of these problems are JPBI (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia) Vol 5, No 1, March 2019, pp. One of the personality factors is personal responsibility (Pan, Chou, Morrison, & Lin, 2018)
