Summary/Abstract: Aim of the article: in their study, the authors undertook an attempt to establish the strength of dependencies between the proecological behaviours and the variables related to the lifestyle and with the selected components of proecological attitudes. Type of the research methodology used: in the group of 776 respondents, there were carried out quantitative surveys by the face-to-face method. A research tool was the interview questionnaire subjected to validation (the method of main components, Cronbach’s α coefficients). The impact of the variables in question on proecological behaviours was determined with the help of correlation coefficients. Main research findings: proecological behaviours are to a minor degree related to the lifestyle and respondents’ proecological attitudes. Practical implications: the research findings indicate the need to change society’s behaviours by way of influencing the components of the proecological attitude. Social implications: in the future, seeking for solutions in the field of promoting the proecological behaviours should take into account formation of the attitude’s emotional element. Growth of the ecological awareness being a result of education affects the formation of proecological behaviours in the food market. Article category: research.
