Summary/Abstract: Our research aims to identify the connections between the values and the environmental behaviour defined by two components: the pro-social behaviour and the pro-environmental one. More precisely, we state that the subscale ‘Pursuit of knowledge’ is a predictor of these two behaviours. The results obtained on a sample of French high-school students only partially confirm the hypothesis, but suggest to focus on the values composing the subscale ‘Pursuit of knowledge’ in order to facilitate the adoption of a proenvironmental behaviour amongst the students.
