Abstract
Many environmental problems are deeply rooted in human behavior. It is well known that certain personal values play a key role in relation to environmental intentions and behavior. However, the potential moderating effects of environmental education on this relationship is unknown. In this study, the relationship between biospheric/hedonic values and pro- conservation intentions were investigated and the possible moderating effect of environmental education on this relationship was examined. Participants were recruited for this online study using a convenience sampling method and an experimental value activation manipulation was applied using an educational video. This manipulation was aimed towards making target values more salient and increasing the likelihood of value-congruent actions. The data indicated a positive relationship between biospheric values and pro-conservation intentions. We did not find evidence of a significant relationship for hedonic values. The results did not provide support for the presence of a moderating effect of environmental values. The results of this study helped to gain a better understanding of the processes that drive behavior change and offered important practical implications for intervention programs and directions for future research.
