@article{Kryazh_2021, title={The Scale "New Ecological Paradigm": Use Experience in Ukraine}, url={https://periodicals.karazin.ua/psychology/article/view/17461}, DOI={10.26565/2225-7756-2021-70-11}, abstractNote={<p>The results of adaptation and use of the scale "New ecological paradigm" (NEP) are presented. In 2010-2017, 862 people, 547 women and 315 men aged 17 to 80 took part, including 622 students of various specialties and 254 adults of different social status. The Russian version of the NEP-R scale was used. In 2021, the Russian-language and Ukrainian versions of the NEP sample were used - 41 people (27 women and 14 men aged 17 to 49). The sample was randomly divided into two groups (20 people - 23 women and 7 men and 21 people - 24 women and 7 men), so that all respondents completed both versions of the scale with an interval of two weeks, but in one group initially worked with the NEP -U, and then with NEP‑R, and in the second group - on the contrary. The results of psychometric verification of the Ukrainian-language and Russian-language adaptations of the scale are given, their compliance with the English-language version in terms of reliability-consistency, rather high test-retest reliability is shown. The verification of the convergent reliability of the scale confirmed its focus on identifying a worldview ecological attitude that responds to the environmental concerns and expresses anxiety about environmental risks, interest in environmentally relevant information, recognition of their connection with the environment, and readiness for eco-friendly behavior. The calculated percentiles for the overall NEP indicator allow determining the level of respondent’s environmental concern taking into account his gender. The overall NEP indicator is valid for predicting concern of environmental risks and individual readiness to participate in social projects aimed at eco-conservation.</p&gt;}, number={70}, journal={The Journal of V.
