Environmental Attitudes Scale

The Environmental Attitudes Scale, most commonly operationalized as the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale developed by Dunlap and colleagues in 2000, is a self-report measure assessing individual endorsement of an ecologically sustainable worldview. The scale measures beliefs about human-nature relationships, including anthropocentrism versus ecocentrism and concern about environmental degradation. It has become a standard tool for measuring pro-environmental attitudes in social and environmental psychology research.
