Abstract

Abstract. The Light Triad Scale (LTS) measures the concept of the Light Triad, which was conceptualized as personality traits that reflect a person’s loving and beneficent orientation toward others, consisting of Faith in Humanity, Humanism, and Kantianism. As a novel construct, the Light Triad has yet to establish its structural validity in non-Western countries and needs to demonstrate its association with environmental psychology constructs. This study aims to: (1) examine the structural and criterion validity of the LTS in the Philippines and (2) determine the influence of the Light Triad on environmental concerns and green purchase intentions. Data were collected through an online survey completed by 447 Filipino adolescents. Comparing three models (i.e., one-factor, two-factor, and intercorrelated three-factor models), the present findings corroborated the original model which proposed an intercorrelated three-factor model of the LTS. The LTS demonstrated criterion validity by establishing correlations with relevant measures of environmental psychological constructs. Additionally, path analysis showed that Humanism and Kantianism predicted green purchase intentions via an increase in environmental concern. Measurement and conceptual strengths, future directions, and limitations are discussed.

光明三合一特质的心理测量验证与环境心理关联

摘要光三合一量表(LTS)测量光三合一的概念，它被定义为反映一个人对他人的爱和仁慈取向的人格特征，包括对人性的信仰，人文主义和康德主义。光三人格作为一种新的结构，在非西方国家尚未建立其结构有效性，需要证明其与环境心理学结构的关联。本研究旨在:(1)检验菲律宾LTS的结构效度和标准效度;(2)确定光三要素对环境关注和绿色购买意愿的影响。数据是通过一项由447名菲律宾青少年完成的在线调查收集的。通过对单因素模型、双因素模型和相互关联的三因素模型的比较，本研究结果证实了原模型提出的相互关联的三因素模型。LTS通过建立与环境心理构念相关测量的相关性来证明标准效度。此外，路径分析显示人文主义和康德主义透过环境关注的增加来预测绿色购买意愿。讨论了测量和概念优势、未来方向和局限性。

The Journal of Individual Differences publishes manuscripts dealing with individual differences in behavior, emotion, cognition, and their developmental aspects. This includes human as well as animal research. The Journal of Individual Differences is conceptualized to bring together researchers working in different areas ranging from, for example, molecular genetics to theories of complex behavior.
