This dissertation research project will replicate the work of Kempton, Boster, and Hartley exploring the cultural bases for environmental concern, by using a comparative design based on qualitative interviews in Germany, Japan, and the United States. The technological infrastructures in these three nations are very similar and thus are the environmental problems they face. All three are industrial democracies, although the political systems differ. However, the three nations have very different cultural lineages, especially with regards to values and religions. Thus research in Germany and Japan triangulated with Kempton et al. 's results for the United States, provide an ideal base for cross-cultural comparison. Qualitative, in-depth interviews will be conducted with members of the general public, auto workers, clergy, environmental journalists, and government officials in Germany and Japan. Analysis will emphasize recent theories of environmental concerns, especially works on values and religion, and the cross-cultural convergences and differences.

本论文的研究项目将复制肯普顿，博斯特和哈特利的工作，探索环境问题的文化基础，通过使用比较设计的基础上定性访谈在德国，日本和美国。这三个国家的技术基础设施非常相似，因此它们面临的环境问题也非常相似。这三个国家都是工业民主国家，尽管政治制度不同。然而，这三个国家有着截然不同的文化血统，尤其是在价值观和宗教方面。因此，德国和日本的研究与肯普顿等人对美国的研究结果形成了三角关系，为跨文化比较提供了理想的基础。定性的，深入的采访将与一般公众，汽车工人，神职人员，环境记者和德国和日本的政府官员进行。分析将强调环境问题的最新理论，特别是价值观和宗教的作品，以及跨文化的趋同和差异。
