תקציר	The Climate Change Attitude Scale (CCAS) measures individuals' beliefs about climate change causation, severity, and human responsibility, as well as attitudes toward climate action and climate policy. Developed by Li and Monroe (2019) as an extension of general environmental attitude scales, the CCAS focuses specifically on climate change perceptions—whether individuals believe climate change is real, anthropogenic (human-caused), severe, and actionable. The scale is essential for tracking public opinion on climate, identifying populations skeptical of climate science, evaluating climate communication campaign effectiveness, and examining links between climate beliefs and policy support or climate action.	The Carbon Footprint Awareness Scale (CFAS) measures individuals' knowledge, consciousness, and sense of responsibility regarding their carbon emissions—how much people understand the carbon impacts of their consumption, energy use, and travel patterns. Developed by Collins, Gössling, and Hall (2011) for sustainability tourism research and extended to general populations, the CFAS captures awareness of carbon-intensive activities, estimation accuracy of personal emissions, and commitment to carbon reduction. The scale is critical for evaluating climate communication effectiveness, identifying knowledge gaps that block behavior change, and assessing whether carbon labeling, footprint calculators, and climate education successfully shift consciousness of personal climate impact.
