This study was designed to verify the influence of mothers on their young adults in pro-environmental consuming consciousness and behavior. The compiled data are based on the responses of questionnaires from 278 young adults who reside in Seoul, Korea. The data were analyzed by frequency, standard deviation, mean, unitary dispersion, rank revolution analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and multiple regression analysis by SPSS 14.0K for Windows. This study has discovered the following: First. A mother's pro-environmental consuming behavior is one of the most important factors significantly influencing a young adult's consciousness and behavior. Second. A friendly and positive consciousness about the environment enhances pro-environmental consuming behavior. A close inter-relationship exists between consciousness and behavior. However, some significant discrepancy was found between pro-environmental consuming consciousness and pro-environmental consuming behavior; that is, the level of pro-environmental consciousness was higher than the level of pro-environmental behavior. Third. Sensitivity to environmental information influenced pro-environmental consumption consciousness and behavior. Female students are more concerned about and sensitive to environmental matters than are male students. Fourth. Among the subordinate dependent variables, recycling behavior is most influenced by independent variables. Among the pro-environmental consuming behavior sector, a mother's disposal behavior exerts the most influence on the young adult's behavior. In the results of this study, it is pointed out that it is absolutely necessary fur young adults to bring up their practice level of pro-environmental purchase and consuming behaviors, and it is advised that appropriate and relevant education programs should be developed.

The objective of this study was to review the meaning and problems of Scientific Knowledge and Ethical Value in Environmental Education. The ultimate goal of environmental education is shaping proenvironmental human behavior. The factors of human behavioral decision making are ideology, value, attitude and behavioral intentions. Ideology is a kind of belief system used by social groups to interpret their social world. The main elements of belief system are knowledge and value. The traditional thinking in education has been that we can change behavior by making human beings more knowledgeable and more valuable. In environmental education, the aim of scientific inquiry is to analysis cause-effect relation of human beings behavior and environmental phenomenon, and ethical education is to change the mind of human beings from zero-sum to positive-sum about the relations between human beings and natural environments. But, there are many problems of knowledge education and value education in environmental education. For example scientific knowledge without ethical value is dangerous to environment protection, and ethical value without scientific knowledge is vague. Therefore, we must recognize that the relationship of ethical value and scientific knowledge is not substitutional but complementary. The teaching-learning methods which can integrate knowledge and value in environmental education are rational decision making model. For this model, we can construct teaching contents with inquiry materials. To earn the benefits of specialization among several subjects in environmental education, social studies can focus on social science knowledge and decision making, science education can focus on pure natural science knowledge and scientific investigation, moral education can focus on problems of ethical value system, home economics can focus on practical action and environmental education(Environments in middle school, Ecology and Environments in high school) can integrate social-national science knowledge and ethical value in broad perspective about human beings and ecosystem. That is the method to protect from law of diminishing marginal utility of learning in environmental education.

본 연구는 친환경제품구매행위에 영향을 미치는 심리적 선행요인들을 설명한다. 먼저 친환경제품구매행위에 영향을 미치는 것으로 여겨지는 세 가지 주요 심리요인-개인가치, 환경태도, 제품속성에 대한 선호도-를 논의하고, 이들이 어떻게 친환경구매결정과 관계하는지를 검토한다. 이를 위해 논의된 주요 변인들간의 상호관계를 보여주는 개념적 모델을 제안하고 설문조사를 통해 수집된 자료를 사용하여 실증적으로 검토하였다. 실증분석 결과, 박애 및 보편주의 성향이 강한 가치관은 개인의 환경태도에 직접적인 영향을 미치며 보편주의 가치성향은 제품의 친환경속성 선호도에도 직접적인 영향을 미친다. 특정가치성향은 환경태도와 제품의 친환경속성에 미치는 영향을 통해 환경제품구매행위에도 간접적인 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 제품의 친환경속성에 대한 선호는 환경태도와 친환경제품구매행위 사이의 중요 매개변수로 나타났으나 제품의 가격속성에 대한 선호는 두 변수간 매개변수의 역할에는 실패했다. 본 연구의 특징은 친환경제품구매행위의 근간으로 개인가치의 중요성을 확인해 주었으며 그들의 설명력을 높여주는 주요 매개변인들의 역할을 보여주었다. 이는 적합한 매개변인의 고려가 기존의 가치-행위 그리고 태도-행위간의 관계를 강화시킬 수 있음을 시사한다. 마지막으로, 친환경마케팅에 유용한 실제적인 적용들을 제시한다.
