“…The literature suggests a significant relationship between demographic background and ERB (e.g., Ifegbesan and Rampedi 2018; Lee and Jan 2015). Moreover, ERB may differ between first-time and repeat visitors (Su and Swanson 2017).…”

This study explored how and when positive contact between residents and tourists stimulates tourists’ environmentally responsible behavior. Drawing on social exchange theory, we verified a moderated mediation model in which gratitude mediated the link between positive contact and tourists’ environmentally responsible behavior, while agreeableness moderated the relationship between positive contact and gratitude. Data were collected from 691 visitors to Mount Wuyi. The findings revealed that positive contact directly affected tourists’ environmentally responsible behavior and that this link was mediated by gratitude. Furthermore, agreeableness significantly moderated the effects of positive contact on gratitude. In particular, the effect of positive contact on gratitude was stronger for tourists with high agreeableness. Additionally, agreeableness also strengthened the indirect relationship between positive contact and tourists’ environmentally responsible behavior through gratitude—which was, again, stronger for highly agreeable tourists.

“…Although Nigeria faces various severe challenges arising from adverse environmental change, substantive environmental concern appears to be limited to an elite class of citizens with high socioeconomic status (Chokor 2004;Ifegbesan and Rampedi 2018). Where citizens of lower socioeconomic strata have reacted to local environmental problems (e.g., protesting environmental pollution arising from petroleum mining), ostensibly due to environmental concern, these actions are often born of broader social and political agitations rather than environmental motivations per se (Odoemene 2011;Iwilade 2012).…”

The need to tailor environmental policies in Africa with an understanding of public attitudes is commonly acknowledged, but efforts to generate such understanding are generally constrained by a lack of reliable context-appropriate measures. Attempts to 'borrow' Western measures in African research are typically undermined by the cross-cultural inequivalence of constructs and theoretical models. Consequently, we tested the potential of the Campbell paradigm-an approach that enables context-specific adaptation of attitude measurement, among a Nigerian sample (N = 543). Data were gathered with a questionnaire survey. Our findings show that a context-appropriate environmental attitude measure can be obtained by assessing the behaviours and intention statements Nigerians execute in response to environmental issues. On average, pro-environmental attitude levels among our sample was characterised by professed intentions to perform the most difficult behaviours and actual engagement in the least difficult behaviours. The environmental attitude measure derived using the Campbell paradigm is positively related to other conventional attitude indicators including the perceived threat of climate change, concern, efficacy beliefs and acceptance of responsibility for mitigation. We conclude that the Campbell paradigm offers a viable avenue to proceed beyond simple assessments of professed environmental attitudes to more accurate evaluations of Africans' disposition to strive for the achievement of ecological goals in difficult circumstances.

“…According to another study conducted by Pronityastuti (2017: 23), demographic factors such as education, gender, age, income, and place of residence have a significant direct correlation to the character of environmental stewardship. In line with this, Ifegbesan and Rampedi (2018) discovered that age and attitudes have a significant relationship with environmental sustainability problems.…”

The background of this research was due to the lack of people's awareness to their environment. A report by Indonesian Central Statistics Agency in 2018 stated that the Indonesian Environmental Ignorance Behavior Index (IPKLH) in 2018 is 0.72. The number indicates a high level of ignorance on waste management. That being said, the character of environmental care in society is still low. Therefore, the researcher was moved to study the influence of knowledge issues and demographic factors on environmental care for elementary school students. A quantitative survey was utilized as a research methodology. In this study, 119 people were included as a sample. Of the questionnaire instrument for the character of environmental care, the researcher had adjusted to the life of elementary school students. The questionnaire instrument was then analyzed using SPSS version 22.0 with simple regression technique and multiple regression. The result showed that the significant value obtained by all variables is 0.001 or P < 0.05. That being said, Ha wa accepted, and Ho was rejected, or it displays that there was an influence between each of them. The percentage obtained respectely is 4.4% and 9.4%.
