“…Given the importance of sociodemographic variables for a comprehensive understanding of environmental behavior, we opted to evaluate four of them. We selected place of residence (rural-urban) for its importance as the location in which individuals form their values, attitudes, and environmental behaviors (Brulle, 1985;Tanner & Foppa 1996;Vorkinn & Riese, 2001;Zelezny et al, 2000). Gender and age were chosen because they are the only variables that have an empirical tradition for explaining environmental concern (Dietz et al, 1998).…”

“…In order to explain environmental behavior, it is necessary to understand the social context in which individuals develop it (Corral-Verdugo, 2001;Vorkinn & Riese, 2001). This aspect has already been discussed by various authors who point out the need to pay more attention to the particular features of group and cultural characteristics with respect to environmental evaluation, interpretation, and behavior (Olli, et al, 2001;Stern, Dietz & Guagnano, 1995;Tanner & Foppa 1996;Zelezny et al, 2000).…”

Abstract. Pro-environmental orientation constitutes one of the basic referents of modern culture. However, this pro-environmental orientation of a general nature does not permit us to predict pro-environmental behaviors. In order to explain this incongruence, it is necessary to take into account the sociostructural factors and socialization experiences through which people form their environmental values, attitudes, and behaviors. In this study we compare the values, attitudes, and behaviors of a rural sample and an urban sample, measured by means of three scales: the New Ecological Paradigm Scale, a moral obligation scale specifically designed for this study, and a scale of pro-environmental behavioral intentions. The results indicate high levels of environmental concern and low levels of pro-environmental behavior in both samples. On comparing the two samples it was found that those living in cities assume a larger number of environmental responsibility values but show less pro-environmental orientation when the attitude and behavioral intention scales are used. People living in the rural context present more attitudes of environmental responsibility and greater consistency on expressing behavioral intentions compatible with the protection of the environment.

“…Baum, Fleming, & Singer, 1983), and global environmental problems (e.g., climate change). We decided to focus on these three groups of stressors because the empirical studies on risk and stressor evaluation show that the potentially unlimited number of (man-made) environmental stressors can be clustered in these three categories (Karger & Wiedemann, 1994;Tanner & Foppa, 1996).…”

How do people cope with global environmental problems? This article reports on the development and initial validation of a set of scales that measure coping with global environmental problems (e.g., climate change). Lazarus' coping approach formed the theoretical basis for the development of the scales. Altogether, eight scales were developed: problem solving, expressive coping, denial of guilt, relativization, wishful thinking, self-protection, pleasure, and resignation. In three studies (N = 265; 275; 225) the scales and the scale structure were replicated (Cronbach's α: .63 to .90). A two-dimensional metastructure of the scales was supported by the data (problem-focused coping vs. deproblematization-focused coping). Furthermore, correlations (coping with stress and proenvironmental behavior) and hypothesized group differences in coping found empirical support. Thus, the scales can be used for research projects as well as for the preparation and evaluation of interventions to alleviate environmental stress and to foster proenvironmental behavior.
