چکیده
هدف: این پژوهش با هدف مطالعه نقش دانش زیست محیطی بر مسئولیت‌پذیری زیست محیطی و رفتار دوست‌دار محیط زیست ورزشکاران رشته پاراگلایدر انجام شد.
روش‌شناسی: برای اجرای این پژوهش از روش پیمایشی استفاده شد. تمامی ورزشکاران رشته پاراگلایدر استفاده کننده از سایت پروازی شهرستان رامیان به عنوان جامعه در نظر گرفته شدند. در یک بازه زمانی 3 ماهه تعداد 319 ورزشکار رشته پاراگلایدر به شکل هدفمند به عنوان نمونه گزینش شدند. گردآوری داده‌ها با استفاده از سه پرسش‌نامه دانش زیست محیطی (لیانگ و همکاران، 2016)، مسئولیت‌پذیری زیست محیطی (توفیق و همکاران، 2014) و رفتار دوست‌دار محیط زیست (لی و همکاران، 2015) انجام شد. داده‌های گردآوری شده با استفاده از آمار توصیفی (فراوانی، میانگین و انحراف استاندارد) و آمار استنباطی (مدل‌سازی معادلات ساختاری) تحلیل شدند. برای انجام تحلیل‌ها دو نرم‌افزار آماری SPSS نسخه 25 و Smart PLS نسخه 3 مورد استفاده قرار گرفتند.
یافته‌ها: نتایج نشان داد دانش زیست محیطی بر مسئولیت‌پذیری زیست محیطی ورزشکاران رشته پاراگلایدر اثر مثبت و معنی‌داری دارد. همچنین مشخص شد اثر دانش زیست محیطی بر رفتار دوست‌دار محیط زیست ورزشکاران رشته پاراگلایدر مثبت و معنی‌داری است. علاوه بر آن، نتایج نشان داد مسئولیت‌پذیری زیست‌محیطی بر رفتار دوست‌دار محیط زیست ورزشکاران رشته پاراگلایدر اثر مثبت و معنی‌داری دارد. در انتها مشخص شد دانش زیست محیطی بر رفتار دوست‌دار محیط زیست ورزشکاران رشته پاراگلایدر با نقش میانجی مسئولیت‌پذیری زیست محیطی اثر مثبت و معنی‌داری دارد.
نتیجه‌گیری: آموزش موضوعات زیست محیطی به ورزشکاران پاراگلایدر می‌تواند پیامدهای مثبتی مانند افزایش مسئولیت‌پذیری زیست محیطی و توسعه رفتار دوست‌دار طبیعت را در آن‌ها به همراه داشته باشد.

چکیده [English]
Objective: This research was conducted with the aim of studying the role of environmental knowledge on environmental responsibility and environmentally friendly behavior of paragliding athletes.
Methodology: A survey method was used to conduct this research. All paraglider athletes using the flight site of Ramyan city were considered as the community. In a period of 3 months, 319 paragliding athletes were purposefully selected as samples. Data collection was done using three questionnaires of environmental knowledge (Liang et al., 2016), environmental responsibility (Taufique et al., 2014) and environmentally friendly behavior (Lee et al., 2015). The collected data were analyzed using both descriptive statistics (including frequency, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (specifically, structural equation modeling). The analyses were conducted using two statistical software programs: SPSS version 25 and Smart PLS version 3.
Results: The findings showed that environmental knowledge has a positive and significant effect on the environmental responsibility of paragliding athletes. It was also found that the effect of environmental knowledge on the environmentally friendly behavior of paragliding athletes is positive and significant. In addition, the results showed that environmental responsibility has a positive and significant effect on the environmentally friendly behavior of paragliding athletes. Finally, it was found that environmental knowledge has a positive and significant effect on the environmentally friendly behavior of paragliding athletes with the mediating role of environmental responsibility.
Conclusion: Training environmental issues to Paragliding athletes can have positive consequences such as increasing environmental responsibility and developing nature-friendly behavior in them.
