本文报告了一项全国性的CVM调查，并结合心理测量量表对亲社会的环境态度进行测试，以确定支付意愿的非经济动机。多项目规模措施生物圈，利他主义和利己主义的动机，并分析其与权利为基础的（义务论）和后果（功利主义）的伦理学。我测试假设存在不同的价值取向，态度，道德，抗议出价，和支付意愿之间的关系。与最近一些基于便利样本的说法相反，环境态度被发现在解释预期的支付意愿方面具有重要意义;这与自私的动机和基于权利的信念有关，而不是间接的信念。(JEL Q00、D46、D64）
This paper reports on a national CVM survey administered in combination with a psychometric scale on pro-social environmental attitudes to test for non-economic motivations for WTP. The multi-item scale measures biospheric, altruistic, and egoistic motives, and analyzes their association with rights-based (deontological) and consequential (utilitarian) ethics. I test hypotheses concerning the existence of distinct value orientations, and the relationships between attitudes, ethics, protest bids, and WTP. Contrary to some recent claims based upon convenience samples, environmental attitudes are found to be significant in explaining intended WTP; this is associated with an egoistic motive and rights-based, rather than consequential, beliefs.
