Environmental attitude and behavior are at the roots of a sustainable future, yet little is known about their developmental origins in early childhood. This longitudinal study is the first to examine how children’s environmental attitude and behavior develop throughout childhood (ages 7 to 18, N = 118). Environmental attitude and behavior form around the age of 7, increase until the age of 10, level off until the age of 14, and then decline again. Environmental behavior develops from childhood to early adolescence and starts consolidating from age 10 onwards, whereas environmental attitude remains in flux at least through early adulthood.

儿童环境态度和行为的发展

环境态度和行为是可持续未来的根源，但对于儿童早期的发展起源知之甚少。这项纵向研究是第一个研究儿童整个童年（7至18岁，N  = 118）如何发展的环境态度和行为。在7岁左右开始形成环境态度和行为，直到10岁才开始增长，直到14岁才趋于稳定，然后再次下降。环境行为从儿童期发展到青春期早期，并从10岁开始巩固，而环境态度至少在整个成年期之前一直在变化。
