“…Guilt, like most emotions associated with climate anxiety can, under specific circumstances, encourage climate action (Mallett, 2012 ; Whitmarsh et al, 2022 ). However, the collective (rather than personal) guilt that climate change can trigger in members of high-carbon emitting societies often does not offer a clear path to re-align this behavior, given the societal and structural boundaries (Suresh and Walter, 2022 ; Yacek, 2022 ). As scientists, communicators, or even leaders of the climate movement, climate professionals are likely to feel an expectation to lead by example when it comes to their own lifestyle choices (Gunster et al, 2018 ).…”

Background/Objectives: The growing concern about the environmental impacts of consumption has led to the emergence of so-called “eco-guilt”—a psychological construct reflecting the guilt felt by individuals about the environmental consequences of their choices, which plays a prominent role among the factors influencing pro-environmental behavior. Although eco-guilt has already emerged in other service sectors, such as tourism, and general scales exist to measure it, no such scale exists in the context of food consumption. The aim of this research is to develop and validate a scale to measure eco-guilt related to food consumption. Methods: To create the scale in an objective way, we used the Sustainable Development Goals as a framework. Data were collected from university students; a questionnaire was completed online by 367 respondents. The responses were analyzed from several different perspectives, using multiple methods following the principle of triangulation. For the data analysis, the Psych and Mokken packages of R software (version 4.4.0) were used. Results: The constructed scale was based on 13 items. An overview of the reliability of the scale was provided using various indicators (e.g., Cronbach’s α = 0.86, ωh = 0.63, ωH asymptotic = 0.71, and ωt = 0.89). Based on the analyses, we proposed a reduced form with nine items for the measurement of food-related eco-guilt. Conclusions: The results of this research provide a scale to help understand what motivates consumers to make more sustainable consumption choices. Moreover, the scale is relevant to future research focused on understanding how guilt influences future food choices.

The study aimed to determine the students’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards global warming and their relationships. The researcher utilized a descriptive-correlational design and the systematic sampling technique. The respondents of the study were 340 students from grades 7 to 12 at Sibulan National High School. The researcher used validated questionnaires and employed weighted mean, Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient, mean, and percentage in treating the data. The study revealed that students’ knowledge about global warming is “very satisfactory.” Students’ attitude towards global warming is also “very positive” and their extent of practices to minimize global warming is “high.” Moreover, the study found that there is a significant and positive relationship between the students’ knowledge about global warming and their attitude towards global warming. The student’s attitude towards global warming is also significantly and positively related to their practices to minimize global warming. However, no significant relationship is found between students' knowledge about global warming and their practices to minimize it.
