Abstract

Abstract This paper aimed to assess the structural validity of the Portuguese version (EAI-PT) of the Environmental Attitudes Inventory using exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). EFA showed that all 12 EAI-PT scales have adequate reliabilities. Ten scales loaded heavily on one higher-order factor, whilst scales 5 (confidence in science and technology) and 12 (support for population growth policies) loaded on a different factor; moreover, these scales did not correlate with any other scale, indicating that they are not related to environmental attitudes in the Portuguese population. The removal of these two scales and five items from other scales is suggested, resulting in an EAI-PT version with 95 items and 10 scales. CFA confirmed that a vertical structure of EA with either two second-order factors that reflect the dilemma between Preservation and Utilization or one second-order factor that expresses a bipolar view of environmental attitudes are equally adequate.

葡萄牙环境态度量表的心理测量特性/葡萄牙环境态度量表的心理测量特性

摘要本文旨在利用探索性因子分析(EFA)和验证性因子分析(CFA)来评估葡萄牙语版环境态度量表(EAI-PT)的结构效度。EFA显示12种EAI-PT量表均具有足够的信度。10个量表偏重于一个高阶因素，而5个量表(对科学技术的信心)和12个量表(对人口增长政策的支持)侧重于另一个因素;此外，这些量表与任何其他量表都不相关，表明它们与葡萄牙人口的环境态度无关。建议将这2个量表和5个量表从其他量表中去掉，形成95个项目10个量表的EAI-PT版本。CFA证实，具有反映保护和利用之间困境的两个二级因素或表达两极环境态度的一个二级因素的EA垂直结构同样足够。
