Abstract
This research investigates the effect of cultural, socio-demographic and contextual characteristics in shaping environmental attitudes in a cross-country context. In addition, dimensions underlying environmental attitudes and their generalizability are explored. Significant differences are reported in environmental attitudes between collectivist versus individualistic; externally- versus internally-controlled; materialist versus post materialist; past-oriented versus future-oriented cultures, and across levels of modernity and pollution. Two universal dimensions, general attitude and activity attitude underlie environmental attitudes.
