Resumo(s)
Pearson’s correlations among environmental literacy main components for 9th grade students from Madeira Island (Portugal) reveal the known intricacy of the framework for environmentally responsible behaviors. Findings show that knowledge, attitude and behavior correlate each other positively and significantly in a small level, and that demographic variables strongly influence these relationships. The established relationship among the environmental literacy main components shows a pathway where knowledge has greater ease on changing attitudes (r=0.276, p=0.000) than behaviors (r=0.198, p=0.000), being behaviors more related to attitudes (p=0.224, p=0.000). Also, since the shared variance between components was very small, other factors not evaluated on present study should play a major role among 9th grade students from Madeira Island. Keywords
