These results contrast with previous findings Tikka (2000) whoexplains that men are more likely to have more envormental knowledge compared withwoman. The findings also do not support research cby Mohai (1992) and Stern (1992)who found that women are more concerned about the environment than men andMustafa (2007) which states that women express greater environmental concern thanmen . But research is supported by the findings of Chen and Chai (2010) that there is nodifference between the attitude of male students and female students on the environmentand green products.
