碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 教育研究所 === 107 === Air pollution has become a global environmental issue in the recent years. The aim of this research is to examine the relationships among socio-psychological demographic, perception and argumentation of risk, perception of air pollution and PM2.5, and support of air pollution prevention and intervention. Around 800 surveys were distributed to university students from different colleges within a public university in Southern Taiwan. Statistical methods such as descriptive statistics and independent sample t test were used. The results showed that nature relatedness was the key element which affects the perception of air pollution and PM2.5., the support for air pollution prevention and intervention, and risk argumentation. The findings have implications for environmental education at the university level to address perceptions of air pollution and PM2.5.
