Relationships
of Proenvironmental Attitudes to Wildernism-Urbanism and Pro-Preservation
Attitudes Toward Historical Heritages

Two
hypotheses were tested. Hypothesis 1 addresses that those who have
stronger proenvironmental attitudes have stronger wildernism. Hypothesis
2 is read as follows: those who have stronger proenvironmental attitudes
have stronger pro-preservation attitudes toward cultural heritages.
Including 41 males, 138 undergraduates of a national university took
part in this study. Proenvironmental attitudes, wildernism and pro-preservation
attitudes toward cultural heritages were measured by multipe-item
five-point scales. Factor analysis was performed for each scale.
Scores for each scale and the sum of them were calculated. Pearson's
correlation coefficients were computed to test the hypotheses. Correlation
coefficients relating to the sum of each scale were positive and
significant. Accordingly, these hypotheses were supported.
