Overview

A revised and updated version of Kaiser's (1998) General Ecological Behavior Scale incorporating new behavioral domains relevant to contemporary environmental challenges, including digital consumption, food choices, and climate-relevant behaviors. The revision updates item content to reflect current ecological behaviors, removes outdated items, and adds new domains. Maintains the Rasch scaling approach of the original to produce interval-level behavior scores. Validated with adult samples in multiple countries.
