Thus, spiritual ‎health, subjective norms, knowledge, attitude and practical intentions of people on ‎environmental issues and how to deal with them, require considerable attention in considering ‎of environmental behaviors. Rapid urbanization and lack of urban readiness for accepting ‎emerging social conditions have led to the formation of low-quality of urban environments in ‎many developing countries. This issue has directly affected the quality of life of citizens. ‎Nowadays, with the increasing environmental issues such as energy crisis, climate change, ‎waste generation and destruction of natural resources and the increase of waste materials due ‎to the development of urbanization, human impact on the environment is one of the most ‎challenging issues of the scientific community. The purpose of this study was to Investigating ‎the effect of spiritual health and subjective norms on the environmental ‎behavior. ‎Environmental behavior refers to the behavior that a person shows when facing the ‎environment, and this behavior is different based on the social system, personality and culture ‎of each person. This behavior can be positive and in order to preserve the environment or it ‎can be negative and irresponsible. Positive behavior leads to conscious and responsible action. ‎In order to change the behavior, identifying the factors affecting it is the first step. One of the ‎criteria for predicting environmental behaviors is spiritual health. Spiritual health is defined as ‎a sense of connection with others, having meaning and purpose in life, and having belief and ‎connection with a higher power. Spiritual health can lead to responsible environmental ‎behavior through connecting humans to a higher power and creating a purpose in life. When ‎people feel that their behavior is under the supervision of a supreme power that created the ‎world orderly and for the use of all generations of humans, plants and animals, they have a ‎more complete understanding of nature and its preservation, and preserving the environment ‎becomes a major goal in their lives. On the other hand, until the early 1970s, the simplest ‎model of environmental behavior was based on the assumption that by educating people ‎about environmental issues, it will automatically cause environmental behavior from them. ‎This model was later changed in such a way that environmental behavior results from the ‎effect of environmental knowledge on environmental attitude. One of the most widely used ‎behavioral models is Eisen's (1991) theory of planned behavior. According to this theory, the ‎desire or intention to perform a certain behavior is influenced by variables such as attitude, ‎mental norms and perceived behavior control. Intention to perform behavior is a very good ‎predictor of actual environmental behaviors and knowledge, environmental attitude and ‎subjective norms influence environmental behavior.‎‎ Methodology ‎This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of spiritual health and ‎mental norms on the environmental behavior of citizens in Lahijan city. This research is ‎practical according to its purpose. In terms of nature and approach, it is a correlational ‎research. In terms of the data collection method, it is a descriptive-survey type of research, ‎and it is of a quantitative type. The statistical population of this research was all people aged ‎‎18 and over living in Lahijan city. The sample size was determined based on Morgan's table ‎of 384 people. Cluster random sampling method was used to distribute the questionnaires. ‎Structural equation modeling and AMOS24 software were used to analyze the questionnaires.‎Conclusion ‎The analysis of the information collected from the research questionnaires in this research ‎showed at a confidence level of 95% that spiritual health has a positive and significant effect ‎on the environmental behavior of citizens, therefore, with the increase of spiritual health, the ‎environmental behavior of citizen’s increases. Religious health has a positive and significant ‎effect on the environmental behavior of citizens, therefore, with the increase of religious ‎health, the environmental behavior of citizens’ increases. Existential health has a positive and ‎significant effect on the environmental behavior of citizens, so with the increase of existential ‎health, the environmental behavior of citizens increases. Mental norms have a positive and ‎significant effect on the environmental behavior of citizens, so with the increase of mental ‎norms, the environmental behavior of citizens increases.‎}, keywords = {‎ Environmental behavior,Spiritual Health,Subjective norms. ‎}, title_fa = {بررسی تأثیر سلامت معنوی و هنجارهای ذهنی بر رفتار زیست‌محیطی ( ‏مطالعه موردی: لاهیجان) ‏}, abstract_fa = {رفتار زیست محیطی، به رفتاری گفته می‌شود که فرد هنگام مواجهه با محیط‌زیست از خود نشان می‌دهد و این رفتار براساس نظام ‏اجتماعی، شخصیتی و فرهنگی هر فرد متفاوت است. این رفتار می‌تواند مثبت و در جهت حفظ محیط زیست باشد و یا میتواند منفی و ‏غیرمسئولانه باشد. رفتار مثبت منجر به کنش آگاهانه و مسئولانه فرد می‌شود. جهت تغییر در رفتار، شناسایی عوامل مؤثر بر آن گام ‏نخست است. این تحقیق با هدف بررسی تأثیر سلامت معنوی و هنجارهای ذهنی بر رفتار زیست‌محیطی شهروندان در شهر لاهیجان ‏انجام شد. این پژوهش برحسب هدف، کاربردی است. ازنظر ماهیت و رویکرد، یک پژوهش همبستگی است. ازنظر روش گردآوری داده‌ها ‏از نوع تحقیقات توصیفی-پیمایشی، و از نوع کمی است. جامعه آماری این تحقیق، کلیه افراد 18 سال به بالا ساکن در شهر لاهیجان ‏بودند. حجم نمونه بر اساس جدول مورگان 384 نفر تعیین شد. از روش نمونه‌گیری تصادفی خوشه‌ای برای توزیع پرسشنامه‌ها استفاده شد. ‏برای تحلیل پرسشنامه‌ها از مدل‌سازی معادلات ساختاری و نرم‌افزار ‏AMOS24‎‏ استفاده گردید. تجزیه و تحلیل اطلاعات ‏جمع‌آوری‌شده از پرسشنامه‌های تحقیق در این تحقیق در سطح اطمینان 95 درصد نشان داد که سلامت معنوی تأثیر مثبت و معناداری ‏بر رفتار زیست‌محیطی شهروندان دارد، لذا با افزایش سلامت معنوی، رفتار زیست‌محیطی شهروندان افزایش می‎یابد. سلامت مذهبی تأثیر ‏مثبت و معناداری بر رفتار زیست‌محیطی شهروندان دارد، لذا با افزایش سلامت مذهبی، رفتار زیست‌محیطی شهروندان افزایش می‎یابد. ‏سلامت وجودی تأثیر مثبت و معناداری بر رفتار زیست‌محیطی شهروندان دارد، لذا با افزایش سلامت وجودی، رفتار زیست‌محیطی ‏شهروندان افزایش می‎یابد. هنجارهای ذهنی تأثیر مثبت و معناداری بر رفتار زیست‌محیطی شهروندان دارد، لذا با افزایش هنجارهای ‏ذهنی، رفتار زیست‌محیطی شهروندان افزایش می‎یابد.‏}, keywords_fa = {‏" رفتار زیست‌محیطی",سلامت معنوی",هنجارهای ذهنی",‏}, url = {https://www.jess.ir/article_156366.html}, eprint = {https://www.jess.ir/article_156366_16998286c29377232b648e9ada64c56b.pdf} }
