Abstract

Abstract

Objective To study the influence of environment knowledge on environment protection behavior, and analyze moderating effect of social class on the relationship between environment knowledge and environment protection behavior. Methods Based on Chinese general social survey(CGSS) 2013, 5 746 residents aged from 18 to 60 were selected as subjects. Moderating effect model was used to explore social class' s moderation on the relationship between environment knowledge and protection behavior. Results Residents' environment protection behaviors were divided into private environment protection behaviors and public environment protection behaviors. Multiple linear regression results showed that residents' environment knowledge influenced private environment protection behaviors(β=0.18, P < 0.001), and public environment protection behaviors(β=0.02, P=0.028). Moderating effect analysis showed that self-reported social rank had a negative moderating effect between residents' environment knowledge and public environment protection behavior(β=-0.01, P=0.020), but had no moderating effect on private environment protection behavior. There were also negative moderating effects of education level. Conclusion Environment education policy should focus on residents with relatively low social classes, so as to maximize policy effectiveness.
- Environment knowledge,
