Moreover, psychological states in terms of religion belief (RB) showed directly affected to RM with .631 and it also directly affected to RC and EB with 622 and .601. Considering on environmental education integration with LCA in term of recycling behavior, in aspect of environmental attitude (AT) showed directly affected to RM with .611 and it showed also directly affected IE with .632 and directly affected to RC and EB with .629 and 605. EB showed directly affected to RC with .522.
