Resumo: | The pro-ecological commitment (CPE) constitutes an important topic within Person-
Environment Studies, here seen as a predisposition to practices that result in
environmental protection. Under the framework of sustainability, the concept of
sustainable behavior emerges, covering, in addition to CPE, new psychological
dimensions such as: the future time perspective (PTF) and the ecological worldviews
(VEM). The current study intended to explore the concept of sustainable behavior of
university students, by means of the association among some of its dimensions: CPE,
PTF and VEM. For this purpose, 380 undergraduate students of biology, ecology,
nursing, geography, and social service answered a form containing: socio-demographic
questionnaire, a question on self-assessment of environmental care, the Scale of
Ecocentric and Anthropocentric Environmentalisms, the Scale Consideration of Future
Consequences, and the Scale Ecological Worldviews. Based on descriptive and
correlational procedures, it was found that 78% of the participants practice or have
practiced environmental care (caregivers) and the spread of information has been the
practice more frequently reported, and the source of influence for such practices were
the school, social networks, and the contact with nature It was also observed the
association between practice of environmental care and ecocentric environmentalism,
consideration of future consequences and egalitarian worldview (worldview of fragile
nature). The lack of environmental care was associated with anthropocentric
environmentalism, apathy, and individualistic worldview (worldview of passivity). As
expected, and suggested by the literature, positive association were found between the
sustainable behavior dimensions investigated in this study and the practice of
environmental care |
