Abstract

By means of questionnaires, 946 undergraduates from two universities in Tianjin were investigated on the impact of environmental responsibility and environmental values on their pro-environmental behavior, and the relationship between them was also examined. The results show that the pro-environment behavior of foreign college students is significantly higher than that of domestic college students. In addition, environmental responsibility and environmental values have different effects on pro-environment behavior of Chinese and foreign college students. Relevant data show that environmental responsibility significantly affects pro-environment behavior of domestic students, while the latter affects foreign studies. The key factors of bio-environmental behavior can be relied on to promote the development of bio-environmental behavior of college students in China.
