SELECTED ISSUES OF ENVIRONMENTAL PERSONALITY DISPOSITIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

Environmental personality dispositions indicate typical individual interactions between humans and the surrounding environment. The elaboration of this idea in psychological literature we have encountered since the 70s of the 20th century, when scientists (e.g. Little, 1976, McKechnie, 1974, Gibson 1979) noticed differences in individual preferences in the perception of the environment and the resulting behaviour. Knowledge of these personality dispositions and especially self-awareness of one's own environmental preferences should be a part of environmental education and relevant concepts and options for practical application in education are discussed in this paper.
