| Summary: | Sustainability in well-being embodies the interconnecting course of how various
systems influence each other. The more strongly individuals subscribe to values
beyond their immediate interests, that is, prosocial, collectivistic and biospheric
values, the more likely they are to engage in environmental behaviour. Issue:
Existing research has limited evidence on specific values of Malaysian’s
personality and lifestyle (PL) that have significant impact on attitude and proenvironmental behaviour (AP). Purpose: This paper aims to verify the statistical
predictability of AP based on PL. Approach: Multiple Correlation and Multiple
Linear Regression were carried out to assess linear associations and parameters
of linear equations to predict AP components based on PL items. Findings: AP
components were moderately predictable by some of the PL items. Specifically,
‘Urging media to raise environmental awareness’ and ‘being mindful about
environmental destruction’ were the two strongest predictors of AP. |
