The objective of this research was to identify the mediating and moderating roles of controlled behavior and decision-making power in the relationship between ecologically correct behavior and pro-environmental behavior. The research was quantitative, descriptive, with primary data, and a questionnaire on a Likert scale from 1 to 5. The findings reveal that despite confirming a significant relationship between ecologically correct behavior and land administration, social environmentalism and environmental citizenship (pro environment), controlled behavior and decision-making power neither mediate nor moderate this relationship. The sample consisted of residents of the Brazilian Amazon region, which concentrates most of the discussions on environmental policy in Brazil and worldwide. The regional aspect of the sample reinforces the significance of the object of study of this research. Especially when one notices that, in this region, ecological awareness actually affects pro-environmental behavior.
