Abstract
In this paper, gender differences of attitudes toward environmental issues are investigated by two studies using the method of analysis of variance, one is changes in attitudes of junior high school students through an on-site-training program (Study-1), the other is differences of attitudes between junior high school students and university students (Study-2). The Study-1 has revealed two points: (1) there are no significant gender differences in knowledge, interest and behavioral intention, however motive shows significant gender differences (female>male). (2) there are no significant gender differences of changes in attitudes of junior high school students through the on-site-training program. The Study-2 has revealed two points: (1) there are no significant gender differences in knowledge and interest, however motive and behavioral intention show significant gender differences (female>male). (2) there are significant age differences in knowledge, interest, and motive (University>Junior high), but there are no significant age differences in behavioral intention. The differences above are discussed mainly based on gender studies and developmental psychology
