Abstract

The current research investigated gender's impact on sustainability consciousness among Egyptian private university students. Using the Short Version of the Sustainability Consciousness Questionnaire (SCQ-S), 381 students (193 males, 188 females) were surveyed on their sustainability knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Results indicated that gender influenced sustainability knowledge but not attitudes or behaviors. This finding contributes to understanding gender dynamics in sustainability education and emphasizes the need for tailored approaches in diverse student populations. The research offers insights for educational institutions and policymakers in Egypt and similar emerging markets, suggesting gender-sensitive strategies for sustainability education. Recommendations for promoting gender equity in sustainability consciousness and areas for future research are also provided
