| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立虎尾科技大學 === 休閒遊憩研究所 === 100 === As far as environmental sustainable development is concerned, environmental attitude, leisure preferences and intention of leisure activities are explored in this study on the perspectives of environmental psychology. The concept of attitude formed by cognitions, emotions, and behaviors is dealt with. The purpose of this study is to find the relation among parents’ living background, parents’ environmental attitude, the preferences of parent’s leisure activities, and the intention of arranging their elementary- school- aged children’s leisure activities.
In this research, 472 valid samples are maintained from elementary school students of both Chiayi county and Chiayi city. Whereas, the idea of the environmental attitudes parents of the school children hold towards is constituted with practical tendency, scientific knowledge, cognitive strategies of action, resource constraints, respect for nature, and environmental crisis.
A cluster analysis of 35 items of environmental attitudes is conducted to divide parents into 4 groups: environment pioneer, anthropocentrism, low awareness, and activist through one-way ANOVA analysis, it shows that the intention of leisure activity arrangement is varied with parents’ environmental attitudes. Pearson correlation analysis also indicates that parents’ leisure preferences have something to do with the intention of their children’s leisure activity arrangement.
This study not only states the differences of leisure arrangement made by environmental attitudes, but also proves the interrelation between environmental attitudes and intention of behaviors. Suggestions are hence made, about how to improve the environmental attitudes, leisure and recreation activities, in terms of environmental sustainability.
