Abstract
It is well-known that human behavior is a key factor contributing to environmental degradation, with activities such as excessive waste generation resulting in increased environmental pollution. Therefore, it is crucial to understand and promote ecological behavior among humans. This study aimed to explore how family well-being (FWB) and nature connectedness (NC) affect children’s pro-environmental behavior (PEB). A total of 342 children between the ages of 11 and 14 were included in the study. The findings revealed that there is a positive correlation between the family well-being and PEB displayed by the children. Moreover, NC is an influential factor that mediates this relationship. The study provides crucial implications and recommendations for future research considering the family’s role in enhancing pro-environmental behavior.
