环境公民权是一个国家和国际目标。构成环境公民的相互作用的组成部分一般没有争议;人们对它们之间的关系及其相对重要性知之甚少。开发了一个环境公民模式，并通过一项基于公众意愿的调查进行了测试。多元回归和相关分析表明，参与环境教育和培训是环境行为的最重要预测因素，其次是情绪化。然而，决定行为的相互作用的复杂性表明，环境公民不仅仅是通过教育方案产生的，而是通过教育可能相互作用的一系列因素产生的。该模型还表明，相结合的解决方案分量表的个人责任感和其他分量表的控制点施加强烈的影响行为，表明哲学的重要性，承认个人在解决环境问题的价值。内部控制点是环境公民的一个重要先决条件，是抽象和具体知识的结合。这些结果通常与其他主要基于美国的研究相当。因此，可以得出结论，环境公民权的组成部分之间的相互关系通常是恒定的，这里开发的环境公民权的模式是可转移的。(C)1998爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
Environmental citizenship is a nationally-and-internationally stated objective. The interacting components which comprise the environmental citizen are generally not in dispute; it is the relationships between them and their relative importance that are poorly understood. A model of environmental citizenship was developed and tested via a public questionnaire-based survey. Multiple regression-and-correlation analyses indicate that participation in environmental education and training is the most important predictor of environmental behaviour followed by emotionality. However, the complexity of interactions which determine behaviour illustrates that environmental citizens are not produced merely by programmes of education, but by a whole range of factors with which education may interact. The model also demonstrates that the combination of the solutions subscale of sense of personal responsibility and the others subscale of locus of control exert a strong influence on behaviour, indicating the importance of a philosophy that recognizes the value of the individual in solving environmental problems. An internal locus of control is an important pre-requisite of environmental citizenship, as is a combination of both abstract and concrete knowledge. These results are generally comparable with other, largely US-based studies. It is therefore possible to conclude that the inter-relationships between environmental citizenship components are usually constant and that the model of environmental citizenship developed here is transferable.
