Examination of the new environmental paradigm scale in a military sample.
The factor structure of the 12-item New Environmental Paradigm Scale was examined. A random sample of 900 active duty military members participated by completing a 35-item questionnaire measuring demographics and environmental attitudes. Using structural equation modeling techniques, three models consistent with the previous empirical work on which the scale's factor was based were compared. A correlated three-factor model was the most appropriate model for the data.
