Abstract
This study aims to determine undergraduate students’ environmental awareness and sensitivity. This study used the environmental awareness and sensitivity scale to determine undergraduate students’ environmental awareness and sensitivity. The study group for this study includes 224 undergraduate students studying in Hacettepe University’s Family and Consumer Sciences Program. The results reveal that on a 5-point Likert scale, these undergraduate students’ environmental awareness level is higher than average (3 points) with a value of =3.50, and their environmental sensitivity level is much higher than their environmental awareness at =3.80. In conclusion, it was determined that undergraduate students’ environmental awareness and sensitivity levels vary significantly by gender, parental educational status and level of income (p<0.01).
