    Abstract
    One hundred and seven Irish third-level students currently living independently in student accommodation participated in a study investigating the effects of barriers and incentives on pro-environmental behaviours. A further 10 students were involved in 3 focus groups in order to gain qualitative information on beliefs and perceptions on environmental issues. Data was collected online with questionnaires and focus groups were recorded. The study used a mixed-method design of non-experimental correlations and qualitative analyses of the focus groups. Results showed that participants' ecological behaviours were more influenced by the level of barriers than by their ecological worldview.
