Abstract
⺠Energy literacy of secondary students in New York State, US, was measured with a written survey. ⺠Students scored 42%, 65%, and 73% (out of 100%) on cognitive, affective, and behavioral subscales. ⺠HS students scored higher on cognitive, but lower on behavioral questions than MS students. ⺠Results suggest energy-related behaviors more closely related to affective factors than to knowledge. ⺠Study underscores importance of influencing attitudes/values to realize energy-related behavioral change.
