“…We focus on four individual-level predictors that have been identified in previous philanthropic and environmental research: environmental concern, environmental knowledge, pro-social behavior, and socio-demographic characteristics (e.g., Bekkers and Wiepking 2011;Lang 2011;Lévy-Leboyer et al 1996). Figure 1 presents these various elements in our model.…”

“…In recent years, a growing number of studies analyzed environmental concerns and attitudes comparatively, relying on existing large-scale social surveys-such as the World Values Survey or the European Social Survey-where questions pertaining to environmental attitudes are available (Hadler and Haller 2011;Hunter et al 2004;Lévy-Leboyer et al 1996;Milfont et al 2006;Oreg and Katz-Gerro 2006). Fewer studies, however, focused on actual environmental behaviors (Korfiatis et al 2004), and of these studies examining behavior, even fewer differentiate between types of behaviors.…”

This paper compares and contrasts environmental philanthropy, environmental behavior, and their determinants among university students in five countries: Canada, Germany, Israel, South Korea, and the United States. The paper's unique contribution to the nonprofit literature is its focus on environmental philanthropy as an unexplored form of philanthropic behavior, and the ability to test environmental philanthropy in an international setting and in comparison to other modes of environmental behavior. By environmental philanthropy, we mean giving to, and volunteering in, various environmental non-governmental organizations, and by environmental behavior, we refer to daily behaviors in the private sphere with ecological implications. We hypothesize that although the five countries vary on several characteristics, the student populations-who are young, educated, and exposed to global ideas and norms-will be relatively similar to each other in their environmental and philanthropic behavior and in the determinants of such behavior.To test this hypothesis, a standardized questionnaire was administered to 8,477 students on five campuses. Results show significant differences between students in their environmental philanthropic behavior, as well as in the demographic and attitudinal determinants of such behaviors.Résumé Cet article compare et met en contraste la philanthropie environnementale, le comportement environnemental et leurs déterminants chez les étudiants universitaires de cinq pays : Canada, Allemagne, Israël, Corée du Sud et É tats-Unis. L'apport singulier de cet article à la documentation sur le secteur à but non lucratif est d'avoir pour sujet central la philanthropie environnementale comme une forme inexplorée du comportement philanthropique, et la possibilité de tester la philanthropie environnementale dans un cadre international et par rapport aux autres modes de comportements environnementaux. Par philanthropie environnementale, nous entendons les dons faits aux diverses organisations non gouvernementales (ONG) environnementales et le bénévolat dans ces organisations, et par comportement environnemental, nous nous référons à des comportements quotidiens dans la vie privée ayant des conséquences écologiques. Nous émettons l'hypothèse que bien que les cinq pays divergent sur plusieurs caractéristiques, les populations d'élèves -qui sont jeunes, instruits et exposés à des idées et à des normes mondiales -seront relativement semblables les uns aux autres quant à leurs comportements environnementaux et philanthropiques et aux facteurs de ces comportements. Pour tester cette hypothèse, un questionnaire standardisé a été distribué à 8,477 étudiants sur cinq campus. Les résultats montrent des différences significatives entre les élèves en ce qui concerne leurs comportements philanthropiques environnementaux ainsi que les facteurs démographiques et comportementaux de ces comportements.Zusammenfassung Dieser Beitrag vergleicht in einer Gegenüberstellung die ökologische Philanthropie, das Umweltverhalten und deren...

“…À l'heure actuelle, peu d'échelles validées ont été rendues disponibles en langue franç aise, les chercheurs francophones menant des études sur les attitudes environnementales privilégiant la construction d'outils ad hoc (par ex. Becker & Félonneau, 2011 ;Lévy-Leboyer, Bonnes, Chase, Ferreira-Marques, & Pawlik, 1996) ou la traduction sans validation (Ajdukovic & Gilibert, 2015). L'exception est la New Ecological Paradigm Scale (Dunlap, Van Liere, Mertig, & Jones, 2000), récemment validée en franç ais par Schleyer-Lindenmann, Dauvier, Ittner, et Piolat (2014).…”

“…Other variables presently discussed are social and ®nancial expectations of behaviour outcomes. However, the relations between attitudinal components and pro-environmental behaviours seem to be very complex and, as shown by L evy- Leboyer et al (1996), caution is imperative, especially when extrapolating the results from one culture to another. In their study on sub-samples from six European countries, variations in a wide range of proenvironmental behaviours could be explained by either risk perception, subjective knowledge or attitudes.…”
