Development of the Survey of Environmental Issue Attitudes

Developed the Survey of Environmental Issue Attitudes to measure the environmental issue attitudes of community college students. Emotion evoking statements were collected from students and were created and selected by the author. The 20 survey items that measure environmental issue attitudes were validated by the students. Reliability of the survey was affirmed among additional groups of community college students. The survey also measures demographics, ecology knowledge, and self-reported changes in behavior toward the environment.
