“…With regard to age, Studies 1 and 2 replicated what was obtained with the French version of the EAI [12]. In Study 3, the trend remained: a non-significant relationship between age and global score in attitude and significant, albeit with little predictive power, in the partial measures.…”

“…The Environmental Attitudes Inventory (EAI) is a model made up of 12 scales, which highlight the following aspects: (1) enjoyment of nature, (2) support for interventionist conservation policies, (3) environmental movement activism, (4) conservation motivated by anthropocentric concern, (5) confidence in science and technology, (6) environmental fragility-threat, (7) altering nature, (8) personal conservation behaviour, (9) human dominance over nature, (10) human utilisation of nature, (11) ecocentric concern, and (12) support for population growth policies.…”

“…As a target, the EAI aims, therefore, to capture the multidimensionality and the hierarchical structure of attitudes towards the environment. It has been applied in different cultural contexts, such as in the population of New Zealand, the United States, Brazil, and South Africa [10] and, more recently, in France [12] and Portugal [13]. It is also being prepared for use in Malaysia [14].…”

“…As part of the same document, and in order to obtain external evidence of validity, participants responded to the following measures of external variables. The choice of these variables is preceded by its demonstrated convergence or discrimination with respect to the EAI in other cultural contexts [10,12,15,22].…”

We conducted three independent studies to support the Spanish version of the Environmental Attitudes Inventory (EAI). The first study consisted of translating and pre-testing on a sample of 125 college students. The second consisted of testing the EAI on a sample of 225 university students in several undergraduate courses. Student data were collected using two different methods, through an online teaching platform and in the classroom. The findings were symmetrical in terms of precision and dimensionality. The third study completed the aforementioned ones testing the items on a representative sample from the general population in Spain. The participants were 630 citizens from 17 regions and responded to the EAI using an online platform. The results of the factor analysis led us to propose a measurement model, with 18 items and six first-order factors: environmental movement activism, conservation motivated by anthropocentric concern, confidence in science and technology, personal conservation behaviour, human dominance over nature, and support for population growth policies. External validity evidence was assessed by the correlation with the following variables: neuroticism, ecological behaviour, limits to economic growth, economic liberalism, sustainability, altruism, and social desirability. These estimations stayed away from demographic and personal aspects such as age, sex, political ideology, and region.

“…Consistent with the Theory of Ecological Attitude [28], environmental movement activism (personal readiness to actively support organised action for environmental protection) would refer to preservation; while other aspects such as conservation motivated by anthropocentric concern (support for conservationism if it provides human benefits), and confidence in science and technology (confidence that science and technology can solve environmental problems) would be indicators of utilisation. The two higher-order dimensions have been identified in several cultures [29][30][31]. Nevertheless, some doubts on their discriminant validity still remain, and a global environmental-attitude rate could be a better predictor of ecological behaviour [30].…”

Psychological and Situational Variables Associated with Objective Knowledge on Water-Related Issues in a Northern Spanish City

This study brings together the level of objective knowledge on water-related issues and other variables of psychological and situational nature. A random sample of 459 participants was employed, selected proportionally based on sex and age. In this sample, knowledge on the water-related issues tended to be low, particularly related to the direct source of water in the household, the type of services involved in the management, and consumption itself. In order to understand both the relationship with knowledge on water and the relative importance of all the other factors, a regression model was formulated. The highest standardised effect was for sex, followed by occupation, political leaning, and water-related emotions. The best level of knowledge was attained if the residents were male, if they were actively employed or unemployed, if their political leaning was towards the left, and if they demonstrated greater emotional involvement with the water use. Consequently, the design of programmes would need to consider that the information flow must be greater for citizens as a whole, particularly for certain groups such as women and students. It should contribute to the realistic perception of water as a problem and to seek emotional involvement.

Eco-Anxiety motivates pro-environmental behaviors: a Two-Wave Longitudinal Study

Recent studies suggest that eco-anxiety motivates pro-environmental behaviors. However, these studies are all cross-sectional in nature, and they frequently neglect possible important confounding variables (e.g., ecological identity). The present study was designed to deepen our understanding of the effect of eco-anxiety on pro-environmental behaviors by addressing the abovementioned limitations of recent research. The present study consisted of a 2-wave longitudinal study in which eco-anxiety and pro-environmental behaviors as well as possible confounding variables (i.e., ecological identity and personality) were assessed among French adults. As hypothesized, individuals' experience of eco-anxiety at t1 was positively and significantly related to individuals' engagement in pro-environmental behaviors at t2. This significant positive relationship was observed even when ecological identity, the Big Five domains of personality, and proenvironmental behaviors at t1 were controlled for. It thus appeared that compared with individuals with low levels of eco-anxiety at a given time, individuals with higher levels of eco-anxiety at a given time displayed a greater likelihood of experiencing increases in their subsequent engagement in pro-environmental behaviors. The results are discussed in light of current knowledge about the function of anxiety.
