In this study environmental activism attitudes were defined as the positive view of pro-environmental behaviors as mediated by egoistic, social, and biospheric motivators. This investigation reports on the development of the Attitudes Towards Environmental Activism Scale (ATEAS), a 26-item measure of attitudes towards environmental activism. In this sample the internal consistency reliability of the ATEAS was r = .92, with one-week test-retest reliability of r = .90 in a retest sample of 15 students. Participant differences were found in the results. The ATEAS scale can be used to provide a basis for research in future environmental education.
