野生动物价值取向(WVO)塑造了人们对野生动物的态度和行为。尽管WVO的人口统计学相关性已经确立，但在儿童和家庭单位内，这些关系基本上是未知的。之前唯一一项涉及这些话题的研究使用了父亲的看法作为家庭成员WVO的代理。我们调查了北卡罗来纳州的家庭(n=136)，以检验关于个人是否可以评估家庭WVO的假设，以及哪些变量影响家庭内部的WVO。父亲和母亲准确地评估了他们孩子的WVO。家庭成员是个人WVO的最重要预测因素(占模型预测方差的37%[Rho=.37])。年龄较小、女性和缺乏狩猎参与与更具保护主义的世界兽医组织有关。这些结果首次在家庭层面支持了几代人之间从功利主义向保护主义的WVO的分化。我们的结果表明，家庭单位可能是WVO研究中需要考虑的关键因素。
Wildlife value orientations (WVOs) shape attitudes and behavior toward wildlife. Although demographic correlates of WVOs are well established, these relationships are largely unknown among children and within family units. The only previous study addressing these topics used fathers' perceptions as proxies for family member WVOs. We surveyed North Carolina households (n = 136) to test hypotheses regarding whether individuals can assess household WVOs and what variables shape WVOs within households. Fathers and mothers accurately assessed WVOs of their children. Membership in a household was the most important predictor of an individual's WVOs (accounting for 37% [rho = .37] of the variance predicted by the model). Younger age, being female, and lack of participation in hunting were associated with more protectionist WVOs. These results provide the first household level support for divergence between generations from utilitarian toward protectionist WVOs. Our results suggest that household unit may be a critical element to consider in WVO research.
