TO INVESTIGATE THE STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODEL OF ENVIROMENTAL THOUGHT AND BEHAVIOR OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
The study is purposed to reveal the relationship between environmental thought and environmental behavior of university students with the recommended research model. For this purpose, in May 2015, a survey is applied face to face to 431 randomly selected students, who are studying in Dumlupinar Univ...

The study is purposed to reveal the relationship between environmental thought and environmental behavior of university students with the recommended research model. For this purpose, in May 2015, a survey is applied face to face to 431 randomly selected students, who are studying in Dumlupinar University. “Environmental Thought and Behavior Scale” is used on this study as a data collecting tool. Before the application of the scale, a group of 50 students is selected and the survey is applied on them to determine if the questions can be understood or not. Then several questions are removed from the survey or corrected. Afterwards to test the relaibility of the measurement tool, a relaibility analysis is conducted and the Cronbach Alpha confidence interval is calculated as 0.881. Structural Equation Model is used to investigate the effect of environmental thoughts of university students on their environmental behaviors and the consistency of the model. Also t and ANOVA tests are conducted to measure if the mean scores of environmental thoughts and environmental behaviors of the students show demographic differences or not.
