Affluence and Objective Environmental Conditions: Evidence of Differences in Environmental Concern in Metropolitan Brazil

Abstract: In an age of climate change, researchers need to form a deepened understanding of the determinants of environmental concern, particularly in countries of emerging economies. This paper provides a region-specific investigation of the impact of socio-economic status (SES) and objective environmental conditions on environmental concern in urban Brazil. We make use of data that were collected from personal interviews of individuals living in the metropolitan areas of Baixada Santista and Campinas, in the larger Sã… Show more

“…La generación de una mayor conciencia ambiental ha sido explicada por dos destacadas tradiciones teóricas: el ambientalismo global (Dunlap y York, 2008;Dunlap y Mertig, 1997;Brechin y Kempton, 1994) y el posmaterialismo (Inglehart, 1995;Nawrotzki, Guedes y Carmo, 2014).

“…Con distintos métodos de reducción de la dimensionalidad, estas preguntas se utilizan para representar los niveles de preocupación ambiental (Nawrotzki y Pampel, 2012). En pocos estudios, no obstante, se realiza un análisis pormenorizado de la validez de la construcción y el alfa de Cronbach es la medida más comúnmente aplicada a la validación de la escala (Nawrotzki, Guedes y Carmo, 2014). En algunos estudios en los que se emplean datos más detallados (principalmente estudios a nivel local), se indica que la preocupación y actitud ambiental suelen ser de carácter multidimensional, lo que vuelve inadecuadas las medidas de validación comunes, como el alfa de Cronbach (Milftont, 2012a(Milftont, y 2012bHawcroft y Milfont, 2010;Milfont y Duckitt, 2004.…”
