Abstract

This study allowed the construction and validation of the Behavior Scale for Sustainability. The research adopted the stages: development, content analysis, reliability analysis and scale validity to identify the determinants of Behaviors for Sustainability. The instrument underwent theoretical, experimental and analytical procedures. 509 individuals participated in the research. The results supported the existence of three factors: conscious consumption, concern for the environment and waste. The quantitative questionnaire showed good indexes and evidence of content validity and reliability, and its use allowed a reliable analysis of behaviors in favor of sustainability. This will allow a better understanding of how individual characteristics can have a beneficial or threatening impact on future generations.
