Climate change is a defining challenge that is impacting the globe, associated with harsher weather, increasing temperatures, and increased landfills. The problem addressed in this dissertation research study is understanding how to engage individuals to adopt environmental attitudes. Environmental education is known to support pro-environmentalism, but it is unknown what components of the education program have the biggest impact for environmental attitudes and engagement. For this dissertation research project, a quasi-experimental design was used to compare environmental training types that included gamified and traditional training. The aim of this study was to understand if there were statistically significant main effects or interactions of training on environmental attitudes for preservation and utilization. Another aim of the study was to understand if levels of engagement were significantly different for gamified versus traditional training groups. Data were collected using the Environmental Attitude Inventory survey to evaluate change in environmental attitudes, and self-report data were collected on engagement with training materials. There were 98 participants to study environmental attitudes and engagement, divided evenly across both training groups. All participants in both groups completed a 10-day online training. A two-way MANOVA was used to analyze environmental attitude changes and engagement levels between the two training groups. There were no statistically significant results for main effects, interactions, or changed environmental attitudes. There were no statistically significant results when analyzing engagement levels between training groups. Future research is suggested to study the influence of prompting and response effort to understand impact on environmental attitudes or engagement.
