僅管經過十幾年來的研究,社會心理學家與環境經濟學家仍在爭論環境態度是否和保育行為有關,而研究者對於如何經由完整的垃圾處理系統來達到資源和能源的保育之了解也不多。本文首先敘述生態系統和人類行為之間的關係,然後探討人們對資源、能源保育的態度,以及這些態度在日常生活中如何影響保育行為。文中也提出預測合宜的環境行為之概念模式。
Despite over a decade of considerable research, socio-psychological researchers and environmental economists still debate the correlative relationships between environmental attitudes and conservation behaviors. Also, researchers know very little about how to conserve resources and energy through integrated waste management systems. This article first describes the relationships between the ecosystem and human behavior. Based on that, this article tries to study people's attitudes toward resource/energy conservation and how these attitudes affect conservation behaviors during their daily life. A conceptual model is proposed for predicting environmentally appropriate behaviors.
