The Impact of Political Orientation on Environmental Attitudes and Actions

Dunlap, Riley E.

Environment and Behavior, 7, 4, 428-454, Dec 75

A sample of a university population revealed that Democratic and Liberal-Left students held more pro-environmental attitudes, engaged in more pro-environmental behavior, and viewed environmental problems as more serious than their Republican and Conservative counterparts.
