20.500.12556/RUL-114076 Studentsʼ care for dogs, environmental attitudes, and behaviour Does the act of caring for a dog have a substantial connection to the environmental values and behaviours of children? The scientific current literature contains little empirical research regarding the effect of pet ownership on environmental attitudes and behaviours in children. The Two Factor Model of Environmental Values (2-MEV) scale and the General Ecological Behaviour (GEB) scale were applied to measure environmental attitudes/values and ecological behaviours aligned with the Children’s Care for Dogs Questionnaire (CTDQ) to measure individual care for dogs. The subjects were Slovenian adolescents in primary education and lower secondary education. A clear relationship emerged: students that reported a better level of care for their pet dogs tended to engage in more environmentally responsible behaviours. Preservation and utilization attitudes had no significant influence on caring for a dog. Female students tended to report better care for dogs and practiced environmental behaviour more often. Younger students scored higher on the preservation values and practiced environmental behaviour more often. Overall, this study provides an evidence-based framework for educational initiatives that aim to include long-term care for animals. This study proposes a method with which educational programs could achieve the goal of fostering environmental behaviours. caring for dogs environmental values environmental behaviours students 2-MEV scale skrb za pse okoljske vrednote obnašanje otroci okolje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2020-02-13 03:40:51 2020-04-21 10:05:00 2025-09-09 14:35:01 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2020 0 0 10 str. iss. 4, art. 1317 Vol. 12 Feb. 2020 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 373.32.016:50 2071-1050 10.3390/su12041317 12799817 Torkar_sustainability.pdf Torkar_sustainability.pdf 1 0A3B3A0C36A2160F562116332AB2E2E9 27fe3f42dfa8b81e59848f54e6840e9a8f71e236d2215e3ffa39a267f8b722da 9a192fe1-1ab3-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=207077 https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/12/4/1317 1 83707c34-8d78-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=216530 Pedagoška fakulteta 0 0 0
