Abstract

Individuals' thoughts and actions on environmental issues are influenced by a wide range of factors. In this study, the effects of impression management and self-deception, which are the sub-dimensions of social desirability, on environmental sensitivity, attitude and behavior are examined in the case of nature-based tour participants. The data were collected by questionnaire from 325 people who participated in nature-based tours in Mersin according to convenience sampling technique. Correlation and linear regression analysis were used in the analysis of the obtained data. According to the results of the research, both impression management and self-deception have a weak and significant effect on environmental sensitivity, attitude, and behavior.

Özet

Bireylerin çevre ile ilgili konularda, düşünceleri ve eylemleri geniş bir yelpazedeki faktörlerden etkilenmektedir. Bu çalışmada sosyal istenirliğin alt boyutları olan izlenim yönetimi ve öz aldatmanın, çevreci duyarlılık, tutum ve davranışa olan etkisi doğa tabanlı tur katılımcıları örneğinde incelenmektedir. Araştırmada veriler kolayda örnekleme tekniğine göre, Mersin’de yapılan doğa yürüyüşü turlarına katılan 325 kişiden anket aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Elde edilen verilere korelasyon ve basit doğrusal regresyon analizleri uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre hem izlenim yönetimi hem de öz aldatmanın, çevresel duyarlılık, tutum ve davranış üzerinde düşük düzeyde ve anlamlı bir etkisinin olduğu bulgulanmıştır.
