人们对席卷南北两极地区的环境变化了解多少，又关心多少？了解和关心之间有联系吗？这些是研究人员在准备2006年和2010年社会普查的新问题时考虑到的一些问题。极地问题涵盖了气候变化、冰层融化和海平面上升以及物种灭绝等主题。1这些问题构成了2007-2008年国际极地年的一个书夹，该年的重点是科学研究，沿着宣传和教育工作，以提高人们对极地科学的认识。而其他人只是在2006年或2010年。虽然Carsey研究所没有参与调查设计或采访，但我们正在进行第一次对极地问题的比较分析。
How much do people know, and how much do they care, about environmental changes sweeping the north and south polar regions? Is there a connection between knowing and caring? These were some of the issues researchers had in mind as they prepared new questions to be part of the General Social Survey in 2006 and 2010. The polar questions covered topics such as climate change, melting ice and rising sea levels, and species extinction.1 They formed a bookend to the International Polar Year in 2007-2008, which focused on scientific research along with outreach and education efforts to raise awareness of polar science.2 The surveys were designed so that some individuals would be interviewed both years, and others only in 2006 or 2010. Although the Carsey Institute did not participate in the survey design or interviews, we are conducting the first comparative analysis of the polar questions.
