Environment Knowledge, Law-Abiding Consciousness and Risk Perception Influencing Environmental Behavior

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of environmental knowledge, law-abiding consciousness, and risk perception on environmental behavior through structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis. The results found that: 1. The higher the awareness of environmental knowledge, the higher the friendliness of environmental protection behavior. 2. The higher the awareness of risk perception, the higher the friendliness of environmental protection behavior. 3. The stronger the law-abiding consciousness, the higher the friendliness of environmental protection behavior. 4. Individual cognitive ability has a positive and significant impact on environmental knowledge, risk perception and law-abiding consciousness.
