Abstract

Environmental concern can be driven by biospheric, egoistic or altruistic motives. Few studies, however, have compared these three environmental motive concerns across cultural groups. This study investigated differences between European New Zealanders and Asian New Zealanders in environmental motive concerns and their implications for proenvironmental behaviors. The results demonstrated that the tripartite model of environmental concerns provided good fit in both samples. They also indicated that Asian New Zealanders were significantly higher than European New Zealanders on egoistic concern, whereas European New Zealanders were significantly higher on biospheric concern. For European New Zealanders, biospheric concern predicted proenvironmental behavior positively, whereas egoistic concern predicted it negatively. For Asian New Zealanders, in contrast, both biospheric and altruistic concerns predicted proenvironmental behavior positively. The implications of these findings for environmental education campaigns are discussed. Keywords: environmental concern; environmental motives scale; ethnocultural differences

Abstract

Research has long suggested that there may be distinct subpopulations of authoritarian leaders and followers within the broader population. We describe a latent profile analysis of right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO) in a New Zealand national probability sample (N = 18,248) that - for the first time - reliably identifies these two types. Consistent with the positive correlation between SDO and RWA, most people in New Zealand (about 91.2%) expressed comparable levels of RWA and SDO (i.e., moderate-moderate or low-low, but no high-high profile). Two small and distinct subpopulations diverted from this pattern, instead fitting a high-SDO/low-RWA authoritarian leader (1.2%) or low-SDO/high-RWA authoritarian follower (7.6%) profile. Authoritarian leaders tended to show the least concern for human rights, and were least willing to make personal sacrifices for the environment, but tended to support same-sex marriage, while authoritarian followers were particularly opposed to same-sex marriage, and yet highly supportive of human rights. These two profiles represent distinct subpopulations of people within society who are predisposed to seek dominance over others and those predisposed to unquestioningly follow them.
