Abstract: This study provides readers with a definition of Environmental Attitudes (EA) and methods/ strategies of measuring EA. It also discussed the types of pro-environmental behavior and strategies that help individuals to harmonize and reconcile their seemingly incongruent behaviours. It also discussed the structure of EA and a brief definition of many of the well-established measures of EA as well as some guidelines in selecting and using an appropriate measure. In summary, direct self-report techniques such as scales and inventories are the most widely used methods for measuring EA. There are several scales measuring EA but with no accepted gold standard measure in the literature. Moreover, the EA measures available are inadequate for measuring the overall structure of EA.
