大学生环境态度对环境政策支持度预测的跨地区研究

Kellert的态度类型量表与Dunlap等人共同编制的新生态范式(NEP)量表分别从两个角度评估环境态度。通过两个量表共同预测大学生对环境态度的支持情况,结果显示环境态度的地区和性别差异显著。西部地区学生环境态度最强烈,而中部、西部地区学生的道德感强于东部学生。不同的态度构成要素能预测对不同环境政策的支持,其中NEP量表的人与自然和Kellert量表的功利主义对环境政策支持的预测性最强。

Undergraduates' environmental attitudes as predictors of policy support across areas

Dunlap and Van Liere＇s New Environmental Paradigm（ NEP） Scale and Kellert＇s typology of attitudes measure environmental attitudes from two different approaches. Two approaches are combined to predict the support of environmental protecting policy in college students. Area and gender differences exist in the strength of environmental attitudes. Students in the western regions showed the strongest pro-environmental attitudes,while students in the central and western regions showed stronger moral sense than their peers in the eastern regions. Different components of attitude can predict the support to different environment policy. The human and the nature of NEP scale and the utilitarianism of Kellert scale are most predictive to the support to environment policy.
