This self-report measure is used to assess attitudes and self-perceived responsibility related to environmental issues and everyday ecological behavior. The Environmental Responsibility Scale provides a brief structured format for summarizing environmental responsibility beliefs and related behavioral intentions.
Developed by Paul C. Stern, Thomas Dietz, and Linda Steg, it consists of 18 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. Responses can be used to characterize individual differences or group-level patterns in perceived environmental responsibility; interpretation is generally based on overall score patterns and the context of administration. In applied or research settings, the Environmental Responsibility Scale may support needs assessment and the evaluation of interventions targeting environmentally responsible attitudes and behaviors.
