The relationship between pro-environmental behavior and its antecedents under the background of low-carbon society

Methods of questionnaires were employed to investigate 1034 university students in Beijing and Inner Mongolia. The relationship among environmental concern, low-carbon pro-environmental behaviors and Environmental locus of control and the moderator effect of Environmental locus of control were examined. The results indicated that, the level of female students' environmental concern was significantly higher than that of male students. Mongolian students showed higher level of environmental concern and environmental locus of control than Han and other minority nationality students. A hierarchy regression analysis found environmental locus of control was a moderator between environmental concern and two types of pro-environmental behaviors.
