THE ENVIRONMENTALISM OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: THEIR ETHICAL ATTITUDES TOWARD THE ENVIRONMENT
Özet
The study tries to determine the environmentalism of university students based on their attitudes towards the environment. The present study was carried out among 220 senior students studying in various departments in 2007-2008 academic year. The data were collected through an "Environmental Ethics" scale developed by the researcher and were analyzed through proper statistics from SPSS program package. In light of the findings, it can be argued that the participants mostly exhibit a "mild" environmentalism tendency that pays attention to both the instrumental and intrinsic values of non-human entities.
