Does anyone have recommendations for more recent textbooks on environmental psych / conservation psych? I love this one by Gardner and Stern, but it's quite outdated now. #APA34 #environmentalpsych #conservationpsych #sustainability

To some extent they did. When including our environmental motives in a regression predicting preservation and utilization attitudes, it reduced the relationship between political affiliation and attitudes by about half (β=−0.96 to −0.64 for preservation and β = 0.65 to 0.32 for utilization). 9/n

In Study 2 we made a battery of self-report items that capture the wide variety of themes liberals and conservatives wrote about in Study 1. Then we subjected these items to factor analysis. We recovered 4 latent factors... 6/n

We even found overlap in the most frequently discussed motives: Preserving nature because our survival depends on it, for the welfare of future generations, and because nature's beauty is valuable. (Figure 1). 4/n

New open access article assessing the common ground between liberals and conservatives on why nature is worth preserving. Turns out they share a lot in common!

I did this work with Adam Baimel (@abaimel.bsky.social ), Taciano Milfont, and Ara Norenzayan. 1/n
