过去几十年对环境关注的研究一致发现，女性对环境的关注程度略高于男性。这种模式在样本、国家、时间和测量的环境关注方面都是稳健的。在最近的一组文章中，我们分析了来自美国公众的一些具有全国代表性的数据集的数据，我们研究了性别社会化理论对环境关注中性别差异的解释。我们在这里解释了我们的主要发现，然后提供了支持关于性别和环境问题的综合研究议程的五个见解。这些建议的范围从概念测量和分析技术的具体建议到改善我们社会科学数据基础设施的更一般的建议。
Research on environmental concern in the past few decades consistently finds that women express slightly greater environmental concern than men. This pattern is robust across samples, nations, time, and facets of environmental concern measured. In a recent suite of articles analyzing data from a few nationally representative data sets for the U.S. general public, we examine explanations for gender differences in environmental concern derived from gender socialization theory. We explain our key findings here, before providing five insights for supporting a comprehensive research agenda on gender and environmental concern. These range from specific suggestions on conceptual measurement and analytical techniques to more general ones for improving our social science data infrastructure.
