Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reveals how values shape pro-environmental behaviour among students, suggesting teaching strategies for greater awareness.

Key Points

  • Students' values are shown to indirectly influence pro-environmental behaviour through their beliefs and norms.
  • The study included 568 students from economics and engineering programs at a German university, highlighting a cross-disciplinary consistency.
  • Through the Value Belief Norm framework, insights reveal the importance of addressing moral and emotional factors in driving eco-behaviour.
  • The findings suggest future research directions on motivators for environmental behaviour among emerging leaders in technology and economics.
