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

A phenomenological exploration of ecological consciousness development
TL;DR: In this paper, an interpretive phenomenological approach was brought to consideration of the research questions: ‘What is my experience and understanding of ecological consciousness?’ and what is my experiential exercises that incorporated sensorial, mindful and affective approaches to engaging with nonhuman ‘other’.

Climate change: Personal responsibility and energy saving
TL;DR: In this paper, the connection between actions to reduce energy consumption and beliefs about the personal responsibility for climate change mitigation was examined at the individual level. But the role of human values and differences between countries in shaping beliefs and actions was not explored.

Public attitudes about urban forest ecosystem services management: A case study in Oregon cities
TL;DR: In this paper, a case study comparing homeowners' and renters' attitudes about urban forest management goals, and what each group considers indicators of successful urban forests management, was carried out in four cities in Oregon, U.S.A. and found that homeowners and renters agree that watershed health, ecological health, habitat preservation, and sustainability are important management goals.

Differential environmental psychological factors in determining low carbon behaviour among urban and suburban residents through responsible environmental behaviour model
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined low carbon behavior among urban and suburban Malaysians by using Responsible Environmental Behaviour Model (REBM) and found that the prediction of low carbon behaviour by low carbon awareness among residents differs significantly across urban areas and suburban areas.

Multiple Regression: Testing and Interpreting Interactions
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.
