چکیده مقاله :
امروزه مسائل زیستمحیطی از جمله حفظ محیط زیست، عمیقاً مفهوم اجتماعی و فرهنگی دارد و حفاظت و حراست محیط زیست از موضوعات اساسی عصر کنونی به شمار می‌رود. در همین راستا يكي از موضوعات مطرح در تعامل انسان با طبيعت اين پرسش است كه چه ارتباطي بين ارزش‌هاي محيط زيستي افراد و رفتار آنان با محيط زيست وجود دارد؟ بر همین اساس تحقیق حاضر با هدف بررسی رابطۀ بین جهتگیريهای ارزشی (شوارتز) و رفتارهای زیستمحیطی شهروندان شهر تبریز صورت گرفت. روش تحقیق از نوع پیمایشی بوده و جامعۀ آماری شامل تمامی افراد 15 تا 64 شهر تبریز (1125534نفر) است که 364 نفر از آن‌ها به شیوۀ نمونه‌گیری خوشه‌ای چند مرحله‌ای برای مطالعه انتخاب شده‌اند. داده‌ها با استفاده از پرسشنامهها جمع‌آوری و توسط نرم افزار SPSS تحلیل شدند. نتایج تحقیق نشان داد که میانگین درصدی رفتارهای زیستمحیطی اندکی بالاتر از متوسط (25/56 درصد)، میانگین درصدی ارزش‌های خودمحورانه کمی پایین‌تر از متوسط (46/44 درصد)، میانگین درصدی ارزش‌های زیستمحورانه در حد متوسط (3/52 درصد) و میانگین درصدی ارزش‌های نوع دوستانه بالاتر از متوسط (8/63 درصد) می‌باشد. نتایج روابط دو متغیرۀ تحقیق نیز حاکی از آن بود که رابطۀ بین ارزش‌های خودمحورانه (به شکل منفی)، ارزش‌های زیستمحورانه (به شکل مثبت)، ارزش‌های نوع‌دوستانه (به شکل مثبت)، سرمایۀ اقتصادی (به شکل مثبت) و جنس (به نفع زنان) با رفتارهای زیستمحیطی معنادار می‌باشد. اما بین سن و تحصیلات با رفتارهای زیستمحیطی رابطۀ معناداری یافت نشد. از میان متغیرهای مستقل وارد شده بر مدل رگرسیونی، رفتارهای زیستمحیطی، متغیرهای ارزش‌های خودمحورانه، زیستمحورانه، نوع‌دوستانه و سرمایۀ اقتصادی در مدل باقی‌مانده‌اند که متغیرهای مذکور در مجموع توانستند 4/30 درصد از کل تغییرات متغیر وابسته (رفتارهای زیستمحیطی) را تبیین نمایند.
Environmental issues, including the preservation of nature, carry profound social and cultural implications, positioning environmental protection as a fundamental concern of our era. A key question in the context of human interaction with nature is the extent to which individuals’ environmental values correlate with their behaviors toward the environment. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Schwartz's value orientations and the environmental behaviors of citizens in Tabriz. Employing a survey method, the research targeted individuals aged 15 to 64 in Tabriz (1,125,534 people), from which a sample of 364 participants was selected using a multi-stage cluster sampling technique. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analysed using SPSS software. The findings indicated a slightly above-average level of environmental behaviors (56.25%), a slightly below-average level of self-oriented values (44.46%), an average level of ecocentric values (52.3%), and a higher-than-average level of altruistic values (63.8%). Bivariate analysis revealed a significant relationship between environmental behaviors and self-oriented values (negative), ecocentric values (positive), altruistic values (positive), economic capital (positive), and gender (favoring women). However, no significant relationship was found between environmental behaviors and either age or education. Among the independent variables included in the regression model, self-oriented, ecocentric, and altruistic values, along with economic capital, remained statistically significant. Collectively, these variables accounted for 30.4% of the total variance in the dependent variable, environmental behaviors.
