The Effect of a Nature-Based Environmental Education Program on Children’s Environmental Attitudes and Behaviors: A Randomized Experiment with Primary Schools (2020, methodology): “[42] found that children who attended a 5 day outdoor EE program showed stronger EA (registered by the NEP) after the program.”
Closing the Gap: Communicating to Change Gardening Practices in Support of Native Biodiversity in Urban Private Gardens (2012, methodology): “…most widely used quantitative measure of environmental concern: changes in NEP scores have been used to examine the effects of specific experiences of environmental problems or the effectiveness of environmental education programs (Arcury and Christianson 1990, Rideout 2005, Manoli et al. 2007).”
Using Bogner and Wiseman’s Model of Ecological Values to measure the impact of an earth education programme on children’s environmental perceptions (2008, methodology): “Validation of the TEQ included interviews and pilot testing with children as well as exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and is reported elsewhere (Johnson and Manoli 2007 ; Manoli, Johnson and Dunlap 2007 ).”
Enhancing Primary School Students' Knowledge about Global Warming and Environmental Attitude Using Climate Change Activities (2015, methodology): “questionnaire was presented as single factor measure (Amburgye & Thoman, 2012) rather than the three-factor measure that it has been in the original version (Manoli et al., 2007).”
Experiencing nature in children's summer camps: Affective, cognitive and behavioural consequences (2013, background): “Using this scale, the authors demonstrated that attending a 5-day outdoor EE program has a positive effect on children’s ecological worldviews (Manoli et al., 2007). Similarly, Evans et al. (2007) found that children showed a stronger ecological worldview after attending a one week, outdoor EE day p”
The 2-MEV Scale in the United States: A Measure of Children's Environmental Attitudes Based on the Theory of Ecological Attitude (2010, methodology): “…children’s environmental attitude, such as the Children’s Attitudes Toward the Environment Scale (CATES) (Musser & Malkus, 1994), the Children’s Environmental Attitude and Knowledge Scale (CHEAKS) (Leeming et al., 1995) and the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) Scale for Children (Manoli et al., 2007).”
Testing the new ecological paradigm scale: Turkish case (2009, background): “Contrary to Dunlap and Van Liere’s (1978) assertion that it is appropriate to treat all 12 items as forming an internally consistent and unidimensional NEP scale, Gooch (1995), Bechtel et al. (1999) and Nooney et al. (2003) found two dimensions, whereas Manoli et al. (2007) found three dimensions.”
Construction and Validation of an Instrument to Measure Environmental Orientations in a Diverse Group of Children (2011, methodology): “…complex question structure to address broad attitudinal dimensions and global concepts in adult and teenage populations were less relevant for preadolescents, whose environmental orientations reflected simplistic, egoistical views of nature (Evans et al., 2007; Kellert, 2002; Manoli et al., 2007).”
