摘要

越来越多的社会需要采用更加生态和可持续的思维方式，这凸显了诸如15项新生态范式量表（NEP量表）等工具的重要性。该量表衡量的是个体对生态世界观的认可程度，与人类支配和豁免主义的观点形成对比。目的本研究旨在采用交叉验证方法验证欧洲葡萄牙语版NEP量表。方法总样本511人，其中女性56.4%；年龄在18-73岁之间)，被分为两半，前半部分用于探索性因子分析（EFA）来完善量表，后半部分用于验证性因子分析（CFA）。结果EFA显示14项双因素潜在结构，经CFA证实(CFI = 0.98；tli = 0.97；rmsea = 0.04；srmr = 0.06)。内部一致性评估采用Cronbach's α (α)和McDonald's ω (ωs)，因子1(生态中心主义；α = 0.88；ωs = .87)，因子2(人类中心主义；α = 0.80；ωs = .81)，表现出较强的内部一致性。NEP量表维度与生态意识消费者行为（ECCB）量表之间存在显著的中等相关性(r1 = .383；R2 = .313)为结构效度提供了收敛证据。NEP各维度的相关系数为0.70，具有可接受的判别效度。本研究进一步证明，欧洲葡萄牙语版的新经济政策是评估葡萄牙语样本中环境取向的有效、可靠和有价值的工具。此外，平均NEP得分表明，葡萄牙人具有亲生态的世界观（M = 3.72, SD = 0.68），特别是在低收入的年轻女性中。

Contribution to an Ecological Worldview: Adaptation and validation of the New Ecological Paradigm Scale to the European Portuguese language

Introduction

The growing need for societies to adopt a more ecological and sustainable mindset highlights the importance of instruments such as the 15-item New Ecological Paradigm Scale (NEP Scale). The scale measures the individuals’ endorsement of an ecological worldview, contrasting with the perspective of human dominance and exemptionalism.

Objective

This study aimed to validate the European Portuguese version of the NEP Scale using a cross-validation approach.

Method

The total sample, consisting of 511 participants (56.4% women; aged between 18-73 years old), was split into two halves, with the first half used to perform an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to refine the scale, and the second half to perform a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).

Results

The EFA revealed a 14- item two-factor latent structure, which was subsequently confirmed through CFA (CFI = 0.98; TLI = 0.97; RMSEA = 0.04; SRMR = 0.06). Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha (α) and McDonald's omega (ωs), with factor 1 (Ecocentrism; α = .88; ωs = .87), and factor 2 (Anthropocentrism; α = .80; ωs = .81) showing strong internal consistency. Significant moderate correlations between both NEP Scale dimensions and the Ecologically Conscious Consumer Behavior (ECCB) scale (r1 = .383; r2 = .313) provided convergent evidence for construct validity. The correlation between NEP dimensions was .70, indicating an acceptable discriminant validity.

Conclusion

This study adds to the evidence of the European Portuguese version of NEP being a valid, reliable, and valuable tool for assessing environmental orientation within Portuguese speaking samples. Moreover, average NEP scores showed that the Portuguese are akin to a pro-ecological worldview (M = 3.72, SD = 0.68), specially among young women with low income.

期刊介绍： The aim of the Revue européenne de Psychologie appliquée / European Review of Applied Psychology is to promote high-quality applications of psychology to all areas of specialization, and to foster exchange among researchers and professionals. Its policy is to attract a wide range of contributions, including empirical research, overviews of target issues, case studies, descriptions of instruments for research and diagnosis, and theoretical work related to applied psychology. In all cases, authors will refer to published and verificable facts, whether established in the study being reported or in earlier publications.
