Environmental Behavioral Goals Scale
Hirsh & Dolderman · 2007
Overview
Measures the extent to which individuals have internalized environmental goals as part of their personal goal hierarchy. Based on Hirsh and Dolderman's (2007) research linking personality traits (particularly Openness to Experience and Agreeableness) to environmental concern and behavior. The scale assesses whether environmental protection is a personally important and chronically accessible goal, rather than a situationally activated intention. Distinguishes between intrinsic environmental goals (valuing nature for its own sake) and instrumental goals (protecting the environment for human benefit).
