TLDR
In this paper, a study of the relationship between values and environmental attitudes in six countries: Brazil, Czech Republic, Germany, India, New Zealand, and Russia, was conducted.Abstract:
Recent research has examined the relationship between values and attitudes about environmental issues. Findings from these studies have found values of self-transcendence (positively) and self-enhancement (negatively) to predict general concern for environmental problems. Other recent findings have differentiated between environmental attitudes based on concern for self (egoistic), concern for other people (socialaltruistic), and concern for plants and animals (biospheric). This article reports the results from a study of the relationship between values and environmental attitudes in six countries: Brazil, Czech Republic, Germany, India, New Zealand, and Russia. Results show strong support for the cross-cultural generalizability of the relationship between values and attitudes and on the structure of environmental concern. In addition, analyses of the relationship between values and environmental behavior show evidence for norm activation only for self-transcendence; results for self-enhancement show a consistently negative relationship.read more

The transnational influence of natural disasters on environmental attitudes
TL;DR: In this article , the authors explore whether a similar relationship exists transnationally -a cross-border effect stemming from environmental disasters abroad on public opinion "at home" and present robust evidence that people's environmental salience attitudes are substantially driven by disaster-related deaths in nearby countries.

A Theoretical and Empirical Discussion on Environmental Awareness Issue in Malaysia: Establishing a Viable Research Framework
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors pull together the statistics and empirical evidence to highlight the current state of environmental awareness issue in Malaysia, and the problem statement is then crystallized, based on the issue heightened, and empirically and theoretical supports were intertwined to explain and justify as to how the potential variables suggested may contribute to the parsimony of the suggested research framework.

TL;DR: In this article, multiple regression is used to test and interpret multiple regression interactions in the context of multiple-agent networks. But it is not suitable for single-agent systems, as discussed in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the universals in the content and structure of values, concentrating on the theoretical advances and empirical tests in 20 countries, and its four basic issues: substantive contents of human values; identification of comprehensive set of values; extent to which the meaning of particular values was equivalent for different groups of people; and how the relations among different values was structured.
