Abstract

The objective of this study was to develop a causal relationship model of ecological ethics and environmental education affecting environmental conservation behavior for global warming alleviation through inspiration of environmental conservation. The population was 3,135 undergraduates of Kalasin Rajabhat University. The samples of 435 undergraduates were collected. The questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection. The Structural Equation model (SEM) was used for model verification.


The results revealed that the structural model of confirmatory factors of Ecological Ethics (EcoE) and Environmental Education (EE) were able to explain the variation of endogenous factors of Inspiration of Environmental Conservation (IEC) that cause Environmental Behaviors for Global Warming Alleviation (BEH) with 72.00 percent. Moreover, the confirmatory factors of EcoE and EE were able to explain the variation of IEC with 43.00 percent.
