The Children's Attitudes Toward the Environment Scale for Preschool Children.

Diamond, Karen E.; Musser, Lynn M.

Journal of Environmental Education, v30 n2 p23-30 Win 1999

The development of the Children's Attitudes Toward the Environment Scale--Preschool Version is reported. Construct validity of the scale was suggested by the pattern of relationships found between child and parent measures. Children's attitudes were not correlated with verbal ability, but with the degree to which children participated in environmentally relevant activities in the home. Contains 23 references.
