Attitudes toward wildlife species protection: Assessing moderating and mediating effects in the value‐attitude relationship

“…Furthermore, knon,ledge is, at best, only slightly related (with correlations less than .30) IO both environmental values and attitudes (e.g., Arcury, 1990;Borden & Schettino, 1979;Cohen, 1373;Dahlgren, W)wialowski, Dubolz 6i Wright, 1977;Maloney & Ward, 1973;.Maloney et al, 1975;Morgan & Gramman, 1787;Ramsey & Rickson, 1976;1977). hlorgan and Gramman (1989), for example, found that students' knowledge of snakes explained less than 4% of the variance in their attitudes toward snakes; while, Dahlgren et al (1977) reported a correlation of .27 for wildlife knowledge and attitudes toward hunting.…”
