- Fostering changes in attitude, knowledge and behavior: demographic variation in environmental education effects (2018, background): “Research on environmental education programs has shown that early childhood experiences in nature provide children with cognitive and emotional benefits and influence the development of lifelong environmental attitudes and behavior (Chawla 2006a, 2006b; Wells 2000; Wells and Lekies 2006).”
- Connectedness as a Core Conservation Concern: An Interdisciplinary Review of Theory and a Call for Practice (2014, background): “Qualitative meaning always forms the context for the quantitative and may help give insight into how knowledge, perceptions, or emotions toward nature is transformed into action [151, 152].”
- Environmental education and K-12 student outcomes: A review and analysis of research (2018, methodology): “One approach to exploring longer-term effects of EE may be the retrospective methods used in Significant Life Experiences studies (e.g., Chawla, 1998; Tanner, 1980; Wells & Lekies, 2006), although researchers (c.f., Chawla, 2001) recognize the challenges of this work, including difficulties of…”
- Children's Environmental Concerns: Expressing Ecophobia (2012, methodology): “Because this study focused on children’s concerns and feelings, qualitative methods were deemed to be an appropriate research approach (Chawla, 2006).”
