日本語

本研究は、大学生における気候変動知識と行動のギャップを自己決定理論を用いて分析。1032名の学生調査から、知識や関心は高いが、負担の大きい行動にはあまり関与しないことを発見。自律性・有能性・関係性のニーズが個人行動では満たされるが、集団行動では不十分であると考察。

English

This study uses Self-Determination Theory to analyze the knowledge-behavior gap among 1,032 university students. Findings show high knowledge and concern but low engagement in high-barrier actions. The authors suggest that basic psychological needs are met for individual actions but not for collective engagement, proposing campus initiatives to sustain climate action.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters

日本のGX文脈において

日本では、企業や自治体が若年層の気候変動行動を促進する施策を検討する際に、本論文の自己決定理論に基づく知見が参考になる可能性がある。ただし、直接的なGX開示や政策連動はない。

In the global GX context

This paper offers insights for institutions seeking to engage younger generations in climate action, relevant to global sustainability education and behavior change strategies, though not directly linked to corporate disclosure or energy transition.

🔬研究者:Provides a behavioral framework (SDT) to explain the climate knowledge-behavior gap, useful for further research on pro-environmental behavior.

🏛政策担当者:Suggests that policymakers should consider psychological needs when designing climate engagement programs for young adults.

📄 Abstract（原文）

There is often a disconnect between what university students know and believe about climate change and their level of engagement in meaningful, pro-environmental practices. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the climate change knowledge and behaviors of undergraduate students, compared to state and national respondents and to recognize existing and potential support for supporting engagement in climate change mitigating behaviors. A survey instrument aligned to the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication (YPCCC) Opinion Maps was administered to 1032 undergraduate students at Kean University in New Jersey. Odds ratio analysis suggests the likelihood of students to respond to statements regarding knowledge, risk perceptions, policy support, and behaviors, compared to surveyed populations in New Jersey and the United States. Results indicate that Kean University students are (1) knowledgeable about climate change, (2) express strong concern and policy support, and (3) regularly engage in accessible, low-barrier actions, yet are less frequently involved in less readily accessible, high-barrier actions. Interpreting these patterns through Self-determination Theory, we suggest that students’ basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness are more fully supported for individual engagement than for collective forms of engagement and discuss campus initiatives that may sustain meaningful climate engagement.
