“…Considerable inconsistency in the number of dimensions has been found, ranging from one dimension to up to four dimensions (Dunlap et al, 2000, p. 430). In our research, the PCA and the examination of a scree plot supported the three dimensions model described in previous research (Albrecht et al, 1982;Noe & Snow, 1990;Schetzer et al, 1991;Gambro, 1995;Bechtel et al, 1999). The three dimensions are: 'Balance of nature', 'Limits to growth' and 'Humans over nature' (see Table 1).…”

“…A solution of three components was finally employed, as the number of derived factors at this level is a function of the point where the total variance explained starts to level off (Addams 2000). The three dimension solution is in line with previous studies that also used PCA to analyze the factors of NEP scale (Albrecht et al 1982;Noe and Snow 1990;Schetzer et al 1991;Bechtel et al 1999). …”

This study explores people's environmental attitudes and motives for putting economic values to marine biodiversity and its protection. Primary data were collected from a sample of 359 people living in two important Greek coastal port cities: Thessaloniki and Volos. Respondents' environmental attitude was measured with the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale, and economic values were derived from a referendum, contingent valuation method (CVM) survey for protecting marine biodiversity. Use of appropriate statistical methods revealed three factors of environmental attitudes; namely, man dominate to nature, anti-anthropocentrism and limits to growth. Significant relationships are found between NEP scale factors and socio-economic characteristics and individuals' opinions about marine biodiversity utility. Pro-environmental behavior or attitudes are associated with higher NEP scale scores. At a second stage and in a logistic regression setup the relation between people's willingness to pay (WTP) for marine biodiversity protection with their socioeconomic characteristics and the PCA extracted results are explored. Proenvironmental attitudes influence the estimates of mean WTP. Significant relationships are found between environmental attitudes and non-use motivations and WTP and ethical motives for species protection. Finally individuals' mean WTP for marine biodiversity protection was calculated approximately equal to € 29 per person.

ABSTRACT:The studies carried out throughout the world have indicated that there are differences between environmental attitudes and environmentally responsible behaviors of undergraduate students. In what ways the environmental attitudes and behaviors of the students who will protect and manage the resources of the country in the future have changed is an important issue? This study was aimed at determining the environmental attitudes and environmentally responsible behaviors of the undergraduate students of Abant Ýzzet Baysal University toward environmental issues. In addition, the effects of the faculty in which the students are enrolled, locality and gender on the determined environmental attitudes and environmentally responsible behaviors of the students were investigated. The data were gathered from 507 students in 2005. To explain the environmental attitudes and environmentally responsible behaviors of undergraduate students toward environmental issues, factor analysis was used with Varimax Rotation method. To determine the changes of the environmental attitudes and environmentally responsible behaviors of the students with regard to the faculty, locality and gender, one-way analysis of variance was used. According to the results, students highly support the environmental attitudes and highly participate only in consumerism behaviors. Finally, it was determined if faculty and gender had an effect on the environmental attitudes and behaviors of the students.
