Belief and Behavior as Determinants of Environmental Attitudes

Attitudes of individuals and groups toward definable aspects of the environment and their stands on salient environmental issues have been matters of high concern for the broadening field of environmental studies. Of equal importance has been the concomitant investigation of variables associated with observed differences in attitudes. Thus, the usual threefold aim of such research has been to assess environmental attitudes that presently exist in the individuals and groups researched, to objectively describe differences between individual and group attitudes, and to look for variables that could explain observed differences in attitude. Much interesting and valuable data have been developed by research of the sort just described. For example, Sewell (1972) has investigated environmental attitudes of engineers and public health officials in western Canada. Observed differences in attitude were found to be associated with professional grouping, years in the profession, present rank and career mobility, and beliefs about man’s control over nature. Medalia (1964) has studied public attitudes toward air pollution in a community
