| Summary: | 碩士 === 台南應用科技大學 === 生活應用科學研究所 === 102 === Recently, global warming gave rise to serious effects in human’s life. Meat-processing industry and animal husbandry were the ringleaders resulted in the greenhouse gas emission. By the trying of carry out weekly “No-meat day” of school lunch for students to develop the concept of low-carbon diet behavior and reduce personal CO2 emission from young. This research is to discuss how the personal background variables influence Internal/ External Locus of control and low- carbon diet behavior, and to understand the relationship between Internal/ External Locus of Control and the tendency of low- carbon diet behavior of junior high school students in Tainan City. This research adopted questionnaire survey as the tool, sampling 7th to 9th graders of public junior high school students in Tainan City during 2013 to complete Two-Stage Stratified Cluster Sampling. With the total number of 740 valid feedback data out of 805 questionnaires, the effective feedback percentage is 94%. According to the result conducted by descriptive statistics, T-test, one way ANOVA and Pearson product-moment correlation: 1. Because of the differences among genders, grade, diet habit, self awareness of health and the frequency of low- carbon activities participation, there was a significant difference in Internal/ External Locus of Control of junior high school students. 2. Because of the differences among genders, grade, diet habit, the policy of weekly “No- meat day” and the frequency of low- carbon activities participation, there was a significant difference in the tendency of low- carbon diet behavior. 3. Except for low- carbon cooking, Internal/ External Locus of Control and the tendency of low- carbon diet behavior has positive correlation. To sum up, junior high school students have a tendency of Internal Locus of control, especially among those who have the habit of vegetarian diet and those who were frequently low- carbon activities participants. According to the statistics result, the overall performance of students’ low-carbon diet behavior tendency is just passable, but among them, female, 7th grader, vegetarians, those who know about the policy of low-carbon diet, and frequent participants of low-carbon activities have a positive tendency in low-carbon diet behavior. According to this research, a person who has a tendency of Internal Locus of control has more possibility to have low-carbon diet behavior in the future. Schools should implement low- carbon education and hold multiple ecological activities about low- carbon at the same time, to encourage students to participate in and raise their sensitivity of environment, which will help rising the tendency of adopt low- carbon diet behavior in the future.
