Results revealed that political party identification and level of education were significant determinants in both cases, with the significant effect of political party identification being attributed to the relative ideological diversity evident in Canada's political structure. However, measuring reaction to a particular, local environmental issue and posing economic trade-offs as an outcome did not produce a substantially improved explanatory ability or more noticeable class differences. Instead, the results support suggestions that environmental concern, irrespective of how it is currently measured, is widespread and extends across demographic and economic barriers. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
