“…Firstly, in this study, pro-environmentalism was related to some expected (Self-transcendence) but also some unexpected (Conservatism) higher-order values from Schwartz's HVS when compared to the findings from other countries. As Self-transcendence and Conservatism both relate to the social/collectivist dimension (Kapoor et al, 1995;Rudnev et al, 2018), these results imply that collectivist value types, which infer the care that transcends the self, and includes others in the collective, may also extend to the entire "co-world". The findings for the basic value of Self-direction were inconclusive in other studies.…”

“…In Schwartz's model, Conservatism comprises values related to social stability and tradition (Schultz and Zelezny, 2003;Schwartz, 1994), so it may be surprising that it also predicts the care for nature. However, as some authors show, in Schwartz's model, Self-transcendence and Conservatism both relate to the social or collective dimension vs. Self-enhancement and Openness to change, which relate to the individual value types (Kapoor, Wolfe and Blue, 1995;Rudnev, Magun and Schwartz, 2018). Therefore, it seems that pro-environmentalism could be related to the values that promote the sense of communalism vs. individualism for these six CE countries.…”

This paper examines the care for nature in Croatia based on the European Social Survey (ESS) data from Round 4 (2008) and Round 9 (2018) over time and cross-nationally, in comparison with five other Central European (CE) countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia). We correlate the item about the care for nature with Schwartz’s Human Values Scale (HVS), as adapted for the ESS, to investigate whether values as defined by Schwartz serve as good predictors of the care for nature in selected CE countries. We also look at the correlation with respondents’ socio-demographic characteristics. Our analysis reveals that, while there are similarities regarding environmental attitudes and values among CE countries, there are also some individual differences. Croatia shows the strongest increase in the support for the care for nature over the 10-year period, and both Croatia and Slovenia score the highest on the care for nature in 2018. Poland, Slovakia and Czech Republic show an overall stagnation in the results, while Hungary exhibits a significant decrease between 2008 and 2018. Our research in CE countries confirms that Schwartz’s HVS can be predictive of pro-environmentalism. However, while the findings for the higher-order value of Self-transcendence are in line with existing literature, the result suggesting that Conservatism is also a moderately good predictor of the care for nature is somewhat surprising. We posit that the reason could lie in the difference between collectivist vs. individualist value types, which provides a new dimension for the interpretation of environmental attitudes in these countries.

“…First, the level of social cohesion in the regions considered could be playing a role. Citizens of the United States and England have adopted decidedly independent and individualistically autonomous stances when considering how we interact and what we can expect from others in society (Alleyne, 2009; Allik and Realo, 2004; Kapoor et al, 1995). In contrast, many Arab countries have been considered as based historically on group relational solidarity (Abu-Saad, 1998).…”

Studies of the Arab Spring have been populated with two kinds of media scholarship: while one acknowledges the role of social media in popular uprisings, the other argues that their role has been overblown. Drawing on recent theories of the media, this article seeks to resolve the debate through a media interaction approach, which shows how it is impossible to study the effects of one media form in isolation from those of others. First, how social media and the mainstream news media have interacted in providing the coverage of Tunisian uprising is outlined. This study suggests that not only did these influential news sources rely on a developing distributed mediascape to provide information, they also influenced distributed media in return, suggesting not only an intersection of traditional and distributed media but rather their reformulation. Second, the putative role of social media in popular uprisings shows regional bias in the early days of media coverage while also being indicative of a shift in what constitutes a reliable source within the culture of journalism with Western media displaying a technological determinist slant while the Arab source displays an organic determinist position.
