本研究运用媒介系统依赖理论，探讨信息媒介使用与环境保护的两个维度：环境保护支付意愿和环境公民（参与环保活动）之间的关系。它还研究了这种关联如何在结构层面的环境，技术和政治因素中变化。在68个国家进行的两次世界价值观调查得出的多层次模型显示，信息媒体的使用与环保主义呈正相关。个人层面的信息媒体使用对环保主义的影响进一步受到国家层面因素的调节。当信息和通信基础设施较发达时，或者当现实世界的环境状况较糟时，信息媒体的使用对环境保护主义的影响更大。
The present study applies media system dependency theory to explore how informational media use was associated with two dimensions of environmentalism: the willingness to pay for environmental protection, and environmental citizenship (participating in pro-environmental activities). It also examines how this association varies across structural-level environmental, technological, and political factors. Multilevel models derived from two waves of the World Values Survey implemented in 68 countries revealed that informational media use was positively associated with environmentalism. The effects of informational media usage at individual level on environmentalism were further moderated by country-level factors. Information media use casted greater impacts on environmentalism when the information and communication infrastructure was better developed, or where the real-world environmental situation was worse.
