    • Abstract:
      The present study aimed to establish the relationship between middle school students' attitudes toward science and the environment with their love, respect, responsibility, empathy, aggression, bullying tendencies and attitudes toward reading. One of the most general survey models, the relational survey model was employed in the study, and it was conducted with the participation of 216 secondary school students. Data were collected using the Attitude Scale for Science, Environmental Attitude Scale, Tendency to Love Scale, Tendency to Respect Scale, Personal and Social Responsibility Scale, Cognitive, Affective and Somatic Empathy Scale, Aggression Scale, Cognitions Related Bullying Scale and Attitudes Towards Reading Scale. The data obtained were analyzed with SPSS package software. The results of the study revealed that there was a positive and low-level relationship between students' science attitudes and their tendency to love, empathy, aggression, and bullying, and a positive and medium-level relationship between science attitudes and their tendency to be respectful, responsible behaviors and reading tendencies and that these relationships were statistically significant. It was concluded that there was a positive and low-level relationship between students' attitudes towards the environment and their tendency to be respectful, responsible behaviors, aggression and bullying tendencies, and a positive and moderate relationship between their attitudes towards the environment and their love tendency, empathy and reading tendency scores, and this relationship was statistically significant.
