Abstract

The current research was conducted with the aim of the relationship between thinking styles and environmental protection behaviors in athletes. The research method was descriptive-correlation studies based on structural equations. The statistical population of the research was made up of all the athletes, who were selected as samples based on the unlimited population size and according to Morgan's table, 350 people based on the multi-stage cluster random sampling method. In order to collect information, Kaiser's environmental protection behavior questionnaires (1999) were used. The reliability of the questionnaires based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.854 and 0.832, respectively. Data analysis was done through Pearson test and structural equations with AMOS software. According to the results of the Pearson correlation test, there is a positive and significant effect of general thinking style on environmental behaviors. In other words, an increase in holistic thinking leads to an increase in environmental behaviors. But all the aspects of thinking style, except partial, judicial, conservative thinking style, have a significant effect on environmental behaviors.
