概要	The Pro-Environmental Behavior Scale (PEBS) measures the frequency and breadth of environmentally responsible actions that individuals perform in their daily lives, including recycling, energy conservation, water conservation, sustainable transportation, sustainable consumption, and environmental activism. Unlike attitude scales that measure beliefs or concerns, the PEBS captures actual or self-reported behaviors—providing a bridge between environmental intentions and demonstrable actions. The scale is essential for evaluating behavior-change interventions, tracking progress toward sustainability goals, and understanding which demographic and psychographic segments adopt environmentally responsible practices.	The New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) Scale measures endorsement of an ecocentric worldview that views humans as embedded within, rather than dominant over, nature. Developed by Dunlap et al. (2000) to update the original 1978 scale, the NEP assesses environmental beliefs across multiple dimensions including balance of nature, limits to growth, human exceptionalism, and nature's intrinsic value. It is widely used in environmental psychology, sustainability research, and conservation communication studies.
