Abstract
Research has identified a weak relationship between environmental concern and behavior. We explored whether learned helplessness (LH) moderates this relationship. In 355 young adults, trait LH moderated links between environmental concern and conservation behavior, willingness to join an environmental activism group, and desired defense of natural resources.
