Does your opinions about 'nature', 'human nature', and 'procreation' influence your recycling behavior?

I am a psychology student with The Open University, and I am interested in whether there is any connection between certain belief systems and recycling behaviors.

There is existing research that shows a strong correlation between 'self-perceived connection to nature’ and recycling behavior but there is currently no psychological literature on whether opinions about humanity (pro-human or misanthropic) and opinions about having children (pro-natal or anti-natalism) are good predictors of pro-environmental behavior.

For this reason, I have designed a short survey that measures peoples opinions about these topics. The idea is to see whether levels of these beliefs correlate with recycling intentions, attitudes and behaviors.

If you are 18 years or older then you are welcome to take part in the survey by clicking on the link below;

This link will take you to the Qualtrics website where the survey is hosted. It takes roughly 5 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous.

Thank you to anyone who replies to this post or does takes part in the survey! This research project will contribute to my final degree and will help advance our psychological understanding of recycling motivations.
