?:abstract
  • In this article we discuss diverse hypotheses concerning international differences and developments in regard to environmental attitudes and submit them to an empirical test. In particular, we discuss the affluence hypothesis, Ingle-hart's theory of postmaterialism, Dunlap's globalization explanation, and Downs' issue-attention-cycle. We test these hypotheses by applying multilevel analysis to the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) data of 2000. The results support, above all, the affluence hypothesis. Individuals with higher income show higher levels of environmental concern within countries; and, in addition, the averages in wealthier countries are higher than those in poorer states. Furthermore, the results show that postmaterialistic attitudes are also closely associated with environmental concern, as are various other socio-demographic variables. Comparing the environmental concern measured in the ISSP 1993 with that of 2000 shows that environmental concern has slightly decreased. Our analysis also suggests that environmental concern matters: Countries with higher levels show more ecological efficiency with respect to CO2-emissions. (xsd:string)
