The effects of environmental knowledge, environmental attitude and Socio-Demographic factors on proenvironmental behavior in Mandalay Kyaw Soe Hlaing The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of environmental knowledge, environmental attitude and socio-demographic factors on pro-environmental behavior in Mandalay, Myanmar. This study also attempted to develop the Myanmar version of the Pro-Environmental Behavior Scale based on a translation of the Xiao and Hongs‟ (2010) original instrument. This study examined the effects of environmental knowledge, environmental attitude and socio-demographic factors on pro-environmental behavior by surveying a sample of 280 (162 women and 118 men) respondents from the townships of Chanayetharzan, Chanmyatharsi, Aungmyaetharzan and Mahaaungmyae in Mandalay. A multiple regression analysis model was employed to investigate the association between pro-environmental behavior and environmental knowledge, environmental attitude and socio-demographic factors. As hypothesized, women‟s engaging in private environmental behaviors was even significantly higher than that of men. Results indicated that older respondents engaged more in public environmental behaviors but less in private environmental behavior. Moreover, education and income were significantly correlated with the pro-environmental behaviors. The pro-environmental behavior was significantly and strongly correlated with the environmental attitude. However, employment status, married and environmental knowledge were not significantly correlated with pro-environmental behavior. 2016 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000000427 https://meral.edu.mm/records/427
