The Relationship Between Personal And Social Responsibility With Environmental Awareness

Abstract

Climate change poses a significant threat to the environment and human well-being. To address this challenge, it is crucial to cultivate environmental awareness, personal responsibility and social responsibility among individuals. This study employed a systemic, transdisciplinary and data mining approach to investigate the relationships between these socio-emotional skills and conducted an educational intervention to promote their development.The study involved administering a questionnaire to engineering students at the Instituto Politécnico Nacional in Mexico City;therefore, the hypothesis suggests that individuals with a heightened sense of both personal and social responsibility tend to have a greater level of environmental awareness and are more likely to adopt sustainable behaviors. The data obtained was analyzed using data mining techniques, revealing direct and significant correlations between personal and social responsibility and environmental awareness. Additionally, association techniques were employed to identify patterns, sequential patterns, and other insights from the data, which can be used to develop predictive models of behavior.This hypothesis provides a compelling rationale for incorporating the cultivation of these values into educational initiatives aimed at addressing climate change and contributes to more sustainable behaviors.
