What beliefs, perceptions and values significantly predict environmentally responsible (ER) attitudes and behaviors on campus? Do these influences differ by campus population? Methodology: – Online and paper surveys of attitudes, values and behaviors pertaining to environmental responsibility. – Random samples of undergrads (N=58), grads (N=25), faculty (N=59), and staff (N=66). – All questions use a 1-7 scale (1=low amount, 7= high amount). Study Objectives & Methodology
6
Finding #1 Campus populations have significantly different levels of self-reported ER concerns and behaviors.
7
Finding #2 Campus populations have significantly different perceptions of their own versus Chatham’s ER performance.
8
Finding #3 AGE matters! Younger vs. Older individuals have significantly different levels of self-reported ER concerns and behaviors.
9
Finding #4 REWARD VALANCE matters! Orientation toward intrinsic vs. extrinsic rewards has significantly different levels of self-reported ER concerns and behaviors.

Overall Findings Self-Efficacy, Instrumentality, Empowerment and Equity perceptions explain the gap between ER concerns and behaviors to a different extent by population and reward valance. Self-Efficacyxx Instrumentalityxx Empowermentxxx Equityx ER Concern ER Behavior
