Summary
A study in Vietnam analyzed how education and perception influence plastic waste behaviors among high school students, with environmental attitude serving as a mediating factor. The findings suggest that improving environmental knowledge and attitude formation is key to changing plastic disposal behaviors in young people.
This study was conducted to analyze the direct and indirect relationship between education, perception and behaviors towards the plastic waste of high school students in Vietnam. The study uses data from a survey of 573 high school students in Vietnam. A cross-sectional study design and questionnaire survey method were used to collect data. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), descriptive statistics, reliability test Cronbach's Alpha and structural equation modelling (SEM) was used for statistical analysis. Research results show that: Attitude factors play an mediating role in the relationship between education, perception and behavior towards plastic waste.
