Environmental hope and hope-enhancing activities are linked to pro-environmental behavior and social well-being in Israeli students
Two goals of environmental education are to improve the social well-being (SWB) of students, and to promote pro-environmental behaviors (PEB). Achieving these goals is an important part of developing healthy and happy individuals in society and protecting the environment. In past studies, environmental hope has proven to be a strong predictor for PEB, but its impact on SWB is not clear. In addition, there has been limited research on how effectively environmental hope is improved through hope-enhancing pro-environmental programs.
