Feelings about the Environment and Behavior Scale
Kals, Schumacher & Montada · 1999
Overview
Measures the affective (emotional) component of environmental concern and its relationship to behavioral intentions. The FeB assesses the degree to which individuals experience positive and negative emotions in response to environmental conditions — including feelings of distress about environmental degradation, joy in natural settings, guilt about personal environmental impact, and hope about environmental futures. Developed to capture the emotional underpinnings of environmental concern that are not fully assessed by cognitive attitude measures.
