Pride about environmental behavior was positively related to subsequent engagement in pro-environmental behavior (i.e., during the following 2.5-h time period), but only for people who perceived more positive pro-environmental descriptive norms.
The characteristics or individual explanatory factors for all 313 respondents (or 70 malaria-affected and 243 malaria-unaffected households) were described based on epidemiologic factors (i.e., socioeconomic, demographic and environmental) using descriptive statistics.
The investigators implemented a three phase action research project consisting of (1) a descriptive environmental scan, (2) survey, and (3) interview methodologies.
While environmental science performs descriptive mapping, monitoring and reduction of exposures to environmental chemicals, approaches of analytical epidemiology focus on disease aetiology and assess multiple associations between exposure and disease in statistical inference tests.
A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to determine significant differences in environmental data and descriptive foliar traits (LMA, Fv/ Fm, absorptance, reflectance and leaf nitrogen content) for P. tarapacana along their elevation gradient.
The geographical variation essentially suggests the influence of other environmental variables, yet the descriptive nature of this study does not allow for the main determinants to be established.
Environmental sciences draw extensively on mapping techniques in the tradition of atlases – for instance in environmental atlases or, in descriptive epidemiology, cancer atlases.
The value of descriptive epidemiology, extensive environmental investigation, and the hypothesis-generation phase cannot be overemphasized.
Descriptive statistics of environmental, geographical, and anthropogenic factors of 22 colonies of flying fox on the central plain of Thailand.
In addition to these studies, other scholars have investigated environment-induced migration in the context of vulnerability by exploring the interactions between environmental change and migration using descriptive methods (McLeman and Hunter 2010; Warner et al. 2010).
Descriptive statistics of environmental variables included in the statistical analyses prior to standardization, for (A) the environmental determinants analysis (see table 1), (B) the change in laying date analysis (see table 2) and (C) the random regression model (see table 3).
