TL;DR: In this article, a value-belief-norm (VBN) theory of movement support is proposed, which states that individuals who accept a movement's basic values, believe that valued objects are threatened, and believe that their actions can help restore those values experience an obligation (personal norm) for pro-movement action that creates a predisposition to provide support; the particular type of support that results is dependent on the individual's capabilities and constraints.

TL;DR: In this paper, a social-psychological model is developed to examine the proposition that environmentalism represents a new way of thinking, and it assumes 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.

TL;DR: This article explored a model in which individuals construct attitudes to new or emergent attitude objects by referencing personal values and beliefs about the consequences of the objects for their values, and found that a subset of the major clusters identified in value theory is associated with willingness to take proenvironmental action; that a biospheric value orientation cannot yet be discerned in a general population sample.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the relationship between gender and these values to better understand gender differences in environmentalism, and find no substantial differences in value factor structure, but differences in the value priorities, with women ranking altruism as more important than men.

TL;DR: This text covers an extensive amount of material in a five fold plan including: ongoing exercises of increasing difficulty to illustrate the text material; highlighting essential critical thinking skills, eg: sorting extensive amounts of material.
