调查了来自50个国家的个人对环境保护的公众支持的差异。是否提供支助取决于个人是否愿意为保护环境作出经济牺牲。多水平分析的结果表明，国家内部和国家之间的支持水平存在显着差异。上下文水平的方差在很大程度上解释了个人层面的变量，捕捉成分的影响。收入、后物质主义、受教育程度、环境参与、年龄与支持环境保护直接相关。背景层面的变量，国内生产总值，国内生产总值的增长，和平均后物质主义的价值取向的公众也直接相关的国家之间的支持水平，并解释了一个显着的背景层面的方差的一部分。研究结果与富裕假说和Inglehart的主观价值假说相一致。他们还指出，在跨国研究中，有必要同时评估个人和背景层面的特征对亲环境态度的影响。
The differences in public support for environmental protection among individuals from 50 nations were investigated. Support was determined by the willingness of individuals to make financial sacrifices to protect the environment. The results from multilevel analyses indicated that significant variance exists within and among nations in the level of support. The contextual-level variance was to a substantial degree explained by individual-level variables, capturing compositional effects. Income, postmaterialism, educational attainment, environmental involvement, and age related directly to support for environmental protection. Contextual-level variables-GDP, GDP growth, and average postmaterialist value-orientation of publics-also related directly to levels of support among nations and explained a significant part of the contextual-level variance. The findings are congruent with the affluence hypothesis and Inglehart's subjective values hypothesis. They also point to the necessity of simultaneously assessing the effects of individual- and contextual-level characteristics on proenvironmental attitudes in cross-national research.
