Sammanfattning	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.	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.
