Abstract
The paper is focused on assessing the impact of personality characteristics on the level of identified environmental awareness factors in Slovakia. On a theoretical basis, the work examines 3 factors of environmental awareness: cognitive, emotional and behavioural factors. Personality characteristics were studied from the point of view of the Big-Five trait taxonomy. Primary data were obtained through questionnaires. The object of the research are the residents of Slovakia aged 18 and above with Slovak nationality. The research sample consisted of 1108 respondents. In the analysis of the research results, the used factor model proved to be significant, and personality characteristics proved to be a statistically significant predictor of the level of identified environmental awareness factors. According to the results of the model, Conscientiousness and Openness influenced all 3 factors of environmental awareness, and other personality traits influenced environmental awareness only within some factors. Thus, this study extends the empirical research focused on factors affecting environmental awareness in the understudied region of Central and Eastern Europe, and the achieved results may be the basis for environmental awareness management measures in practice.
