It seems to be an everyday experience that knowledge about a field and actual behavior in it are not necessarily in harmony with each other. Another Institute for Science Education at the University of Kiel, Germany, (IPN) study(see Langeheine and Lehmann, 1986. the summary presented here mainly follows Duit, 1989) investigated relations between knowledge in the field of environmental protection and the actual behavior of people. Energy aspects were also contained in this study. The level of knowledge in the field of environmental protection was mainly influenced by two variables, namely level of education in school' and'search of people for topics of environmental issues in mass media'. The latter variable was considerably influenced by a variable that may be called experiences with nature(for example, living beings) through childhood and adolescence' and a little by the previously mentioned"level of education'. Interestingly enough, the level of 'environmental knowledge' was not among the variables that mainly influenced actual environmental behavior'. The variables mainly related to public commitment to environmental issues as well as actual environmental behavior in daily life(for example, energy saving in daily life, collecting of raw materials such as glass were the previously mentioned"search of people for topics of environmental protection in mass media' and 'attitudes towards economy growth Also experiences in childhood with careful treatment of living beings(for example supported by the parents) played a certain role. Briefly put the study points out that' environmental knowledge appears to be of less importance concerning environmental behavior than a tendency to search for'environmental topics' in mass media, attitudes towards economy growth and experiences with careful treatment of living beings in childhood and adolescence. There has been a wealth of studies carried out elsewhere that show similar results. In a meta analysis of seventeen studies the field of environmental protection Hines, Hungerford and Tomera a987) found only small correlations between knowledge and actual behavior.
