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...
