Sažetak
This work represents the results of the research on the connection between ecological orientation and the sources of information on problems of ecology. Nineteen miscellaneous ecologic orientations were established as well as 3 types of informing all based on the existing sources of information. The relationship between them has been put to analysis using canon relations and the significant dimensions, with .01 of risk were the result obtained. One canon relation resulted and it connected some of ethical orientations (seven in fact) with the obtained types of information.
The results are pointing that information influences those orientations that essentially deal with particular ecological problem - primarily power and other resources, and with the problem of devastation of environment. From the possible sources of information the most significant has proved to be: the ecological catastrophe, while less important information has been obtained by social contacts. It has been concluded that more particular orientations were more saturated by the sources of information - that means that the perception of particular ecologic problem can have no really fundamental basis in other systems of evaluating as e.g. value appreciation or attitude formed through experience; the exception being the perception named "perception of real causes of ecological pollution" - it proved to be closely connected to the information dimension, not so much to the social one, and it is also more connected to the expert information as well as to to the information on ecological catastrophe. Thus it may be concluded that lesser interest for the ecological problems conditions the lesser degree of interest in ecological information, and that the existence of many ecological orientation has primarily been caused by other factors taken from value and attitude complexities.
