Survey on Sustainable Consumption Behavior (SCB) among Master’s Stud

This questionnaire is for academic research and aims to understand the sustainable consumption behavior and its influencing factors of master's degree students from UM, UKM, and UPM. The questionnaire is anonymous and is only used for research analysis. There are no right or wrong answers. It is expected to take 10-12 minutes to complete. You can skip any questions or exit at any time.
