This study developed a model that examined the relationship between undergraduate students' beliefs, norms and pro-environment behavioral intentions in the context of global climate change (GCC). The model was further evaluated to determine whether latent variables, such as sustainability value, environmental concern, social norms, perceived risk, pro-environmental attitude, as defined by the theory of planned behavior and value-belief-norm theory, significantly influenced students' intentions towards pro-environmental behavior. The research model was empirically tested using data collected form 275 undergraduate students. Empirical results found support for four interaction effects of personality traits and the related latent variables of environmental attitude, including sustainability value, social norms, environmental concern and perceived risk. The impact of undergraduate students' environmental attitudes was moderated by personality traits. The findings of this research offer policy makers and enterprises better understandings of undergraduate students' attitudes and behavioral intentions towards GCC and promote the visibility of this issue.
本研究构建了一个模型，考察了在全球气候变化（GCC）背景下，大学生的信念、规范和有利于环境的行为意向之间的关系。该模型进一步进行了评估，以确定理论的计划行为和价值-信仰-规范理论中定义的潜在变量，如可持续发展价值、环境关注、社会规范、感知风险、有利于环境的态度，是否会显著影响学生对有利于环境的行为的意向。该研究模型使用 275 名本科生收集的数据进行了实证检验。实证结果支持人格特质与环境态度、可持续发展价值、社会规范、环境关注和感知风险等相关潜在变量之间的四种交互效应。本研究发现，大学生的环境态度受到人格特质的调节。研究结果为决策者和企业提供了更好的了解大学生对 GCC 的态度和行为意向，提升了这一问题的可见度。
