Abstract

One of the global problems is related to environmental problems. That is why this research is aim at finding out whether students’ responsible environmental behavior (REB) could be predicted by students’ personality, students’ New Environmental Paradigm (NEP), and naturalistic intelligence (NI). Research problem, then, could be formulated as “is there any relationship between personality, students’ NEP and naturalistic intelligence with students’ REB?” A survey has been applied by involving 546 senior high school students in Jakarta, selected randomly. There were four instruments have been developed to measure those variables. Respectively, its reliability was .630, .789, .659, and .561. Data have been analyzed by simple and multiple regression and correlation, and partial correlation as well. The research results revealed that there was positive and significant zero correlation between personality and students’ NEP, respectively with students’ REB. It was still significant when analyzed by second order correlation. However, students NI did not contribute significantly to students’ REB (−.072). Multiple regression model and its correlation were also significant, therefore students’ REB could be predicted only by students’ NEP and personality. Therefore, in improving to be more positive students’ REB, factors such as students’ NEP and personality, could be taken into consideration. © 2017 American Scientific Publishers.
