Workshops Based on Protection Motivation Theory and Climate Change

"This study aims to evaluate the impact of climate change workshops grounded in Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) on students' climate change awareness, environmental consciousness, and pro-environmental behaviors. The primary objective is to foster awareness, environmental literacy, and sustainable behavioral shifts among middle school students, thereby empowering them to adopt eco-friendly practices to mitigate the effects of climate change. Note on Protocol Revision: Due to cognitive suitability concerns identified during the pilot phase, the target population was shifted from primary to middle school students following expert consultation. This shift necessitated modifications to certain assessment instruments. These revisions have been approved by the ethics committee, and a new ethics approval number has been issued (Date of first protocol entry: July,2024).
