I have chosen to analyze recycling habits of college students using the theory of planned behavior. I created my survey on surveymonkey.com last Thursday. Upon completion, I posted a link to it on the NCSU Facebook page. So far, it seems that many college students care about recycling. Many students say that they will recycle as long as it is convenient, and others say that they almost always recycle, regardless of convenience.

I think your topic is really interesting. Personally, I fall into the category of recycling regardless of convenience. However, my old roommate absolutely refused to recycle, even when the recycling bin was right beside the trash can. I look forward to finding out the results of your survey. Also, I didn't think about posting on the NCSU page. That will probably help to make the survey results less biased.
ReplyDeleteGreat topic! I'm not sure exactly what you mean by the theory of planned behavior, though. Still, it's great to see that many students go out of their way to recycle. It's become second-nature to our generation, like wearing seat belts. I think it would be interesting to see how the results of your survey would vary across different age groups.
