Environmentally responsible behavior of camping tourists - scale validation

This study aims to validate the scale for measuring site-specific environmentally responsible behaviour of camping tourists. The developed measurement scale builds on a scale from the literature and it is adapted to the specific context of the campsites. Validation of the measurement scale includes checking the construct validity, dimensionality and reliability. The dimensionality of the scale was validated by principal component analysis. Reliability analysis was performed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The analyses were performed on a convenient sample of 140 camping visitors. Environmentally responsible behaviour of camping tourists is found to be a multidimensional construct. Five factors were extracted that explain 70.335% of the total variance. Reliability analysis showed that four of the five factors have good internal consistency. In contrast, Cronbach's alpha coefficient value for the fifth factor is slightly lower than recommended. Therefore, the scale should be further tested.
