| Tiivistelmä: | This article discusses the determinants and the development of public concern for the state of the natural environment. 1) It is reviews some theoretical approaches that try to explain individual as well as cross-national differences in environmental attitudes,(It is discusses Inglehart's theory of post-materialism, Dunlap and Mertig's globalization explanation, and the prosperity hypothesis). 2) It is testes these hypotheses by applying multilevel analysis to the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) data from the years 1993 and 2000. The author argues that: 1)Individuals with higher relative income within countries display higher levels of environmental concern than their compatriots. 2) Individuals with higher relative income within countries display higher levels of environmental concern than their compatriots. The results indicate that environmental concern is also closely associated with post-materialistic attitudes and various socio-demographic variables. Comparing the environmental concern measured in the ISSP in 1993 with that in 2000 shows that environmental concern has more or less stabilized since the early 1990s in the countries under scrutiny. |
