Title: The effects of a social learning experiment on attitudes and behavior toward environmental conservation

Journal Article · · Environ. Behav.; (United States)

Students at Southern Illinois Univ. enrolled in a freshman level ''''Geography of Man's Environment'' course were studied to determine whether a social learning theory combining observational learning, reinforcement, and role-playing would have significant effects on the students' attitude toward sample environmental conservation issues and activities. By the end of 10 weeks, student attitude and behavior toward the environment had been altered positively. Pretest, post-test, and delayed post-test procedures are detailed. 41 references, 8 tables.
