Higher Education, Norm Development, and Environmental Protection
Harring, Niklas; Jagers, Sverker C.; Matti, Simon
Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, v79 n2 p291-305 Feb 2020
There is a debate on whether higher education in the social sciences generates stronger democratic and environmental norms among students. In our study, we focus on students' perceptions about legitimate rule in the case of environmental protection. We contribute to this debate by using a unique longitudinal data set from seven universities and university colleges in Sweden. Our results show that higher education in the social sciences does not generate stronger democratic or environmental norms, at least not in the case of environmental protection. We discuss why this is the case and refine our results further by looking at individual-level factors, such as gender and ideology.
