Environmental concern. Environmental consumer Behavior. Competing NEP and ECCB Scales.Abstract
The purpose of this study is to compare and assess the feasibility of two scales, NEP and ECCB, to measure environmental concern. Examination of literature indicated that environmental consumer behavior intention (local acronym ICCA) derives from environmental concern. To render the study operational, an on-line survey was conducted among 538 Brazilian consumers. Multivaried statistics techniques were used to verify the NEP and ECCB scale dimensions, as well as to assess their association with the ICCA. The results indicate that ECCB is more adequate to measure the ICCA.
