Value Orientations, Gender, and Environmental Concern

Paul C. Stern, Thomas Dietz, Linda Kalof · 1 Sep 1993

A social-psychological model is developed to examine the proposition that environmentalism represents a new way of thinking. It presumes that action in support of environmental quality may derive from any of three value orientations: egoistic, social-altruistic, or biospheric, and that gender may be implicated in the relation between these orientations and behavior. Behavioral intentions are…

The Nature Relatedness Scale

Elizabeth K. Nisbet, John M. Zelenski, Steven A. Murphy · 1 Aug 2008

Disconnection from the natural world may be contributing to our planet's destruction. The authors propose a new construct, Nature Relatedness (NR), and a scale that assesses the affective, cognitive, and experiential aspects of individuals' connection to nature. In Study 1, the authors explored the internal structure of the NR item responses in a sample of…

The latter had urban environment, natural environment, and passive relaxation conditions. Multimethod…

Until now, the distinction between altruistic and biospheric value orientations has hardly been supported empirically. In this article, three studies are reported aimed to examine whether an egoistic, altruistic, and biospheric…

Influences on Attitude-Behavior Relationships

Gregory A. Guagnano, Paul C. Stern, Thomas Dietz · 1 Sep 1995

A simple model was tested in which attitudinal factors and external conditions act in combination to influence behavior. The model predicts that behavior is a monotonic function of attitudes and external conditions and that the strength of the attitude-behavior relationship is a curvilinear function of the strength of the external conditions, with extreme values setting…
