Understanding The Dependency Between Environmental Intelligence, Environmental Knowledge, Environmental Attitudes, and Environmental Behaviour

The environment has become an important issue constantly advocated to mitigate the climate crisis. One institution capable of realizing this is universities, where students become agents of environmental change. Universities are required to have programs that support environmental issues. However, the promoted programs may not reach their full potential due to lack of full support from students. It can be interpreted that the success of university programs depends on the environmental behaviour of its students. This research aims to explore the dimensions of dependency between environmental intelligence, environmental knowledge, environmental attitudes, and environmental behaviour among students. By using an exploratory quantitative approach and the main theory of Planned Behaviour, this study examines the psychological factors influencing student environmental behaviour. The importance of this understanding lies in the role of students as agents of environmental change and the responsibility of universities in shaping sustainable thinking and behaviour. This research involves students from the top five universities in Central Java, with a sample of 385 respondents selected randomly. The results of this research are expected to provide deep insights into the relationship between environmental intelligence, environmental knowledge, environmental attitudes, and environmental behaviour. Thus, this research contributes to the development of holistic and sustainable environmental education programs in universities.
