Dominant Social Paradigm (DSP): Dominant Social Paradigm (DSP) Historically, the dominant attitude toward nature is that of: Cornucopia Endless Bounty Growth is Good Belief in Progress Faith in Science andamp; Technology Lots of Resources for Human Use New Environmental Paradigm (NEP): New Environmental Paradigm (NEP) Current concerns that the old paradigm hurts the environment, it is not endless bounty, growth should not be the driving force The earth is like a spaceship There are ecological limits Must balance natural and human needs Idea of Human Domination is challenged Concerns over ecological catastrophe Ecological Paradigms: Ecological Paradigms There has been a dramatic social shift in ecological values Ecological Paradigms: Ecological Paradigms Typology of Environmental Values: Typology of Environmental Values Utilitarian: practical andamp; material exploitation of nature Typology of Environmental Values: Typology of Environmental Values Doministic: Mastery, physical control and dominance over Nature Typology of Environmental Values: Typology of Environmental Values Negativistic: Fear, aversion, alienation from nature Typology of Environmental Values: Typology of Environmental Values Ecologistic-Scientific: Systematic study of structure, function and relationship in nature Typology of Environmental Values: Typology of Environmental Values Aesthetic: Physical beauty and appeal of nature Typology of Environmental Values: Typology of Environmental Values Naturalistic: direct experience and exploration of nature Typology of Environmental Values: Typology of Environmental Values Moralistic: Spiritual reverence and ethical concern for nature Typology of Environmental Values: Typology of Environmental Values Humanistic: Strong emotional attachment and ‘love’ for aspects of nature Typology of Environmental Values: Typology of Environmental Values Symbolic: Use of nature for language and thought How to these values relate to our population?: How to these values relate to our population? Ecological Value Variables: Gender: Ecological Value Variables: Gender Women tend to agree with NEP values, especially if they have young children Men agree more with DSP values Ecological Value Variables: Education: Ecological Value Variables: Education The higher the level of education, the more likely someone is to subscribe to NEP Ecological Value Variables: Knowledge: Ecological Value Variables: Knowledge The more knowledge one has, the more likely they are to carry NEP values Ecological Value Variables: Personality: Ecological Value Variables: Personality The more mature, well adjusted, stronger values, good social relationships, more social, more responsible someone is the more likely they are to subscribe to NEP Ecological Value Variables: Age: Ecological Value Variables: Age Young adults (18-30) favor NEP Age 50 and over favor DSP Ecological Value Variables: Age: Ecological Value Variables: Age How do values change across ages? 2nd grade: negativistic, dominionistic, utilitarian 8th-11th grade: decrease in above and increase in naturalistic, moralistic, ecologistic Ecological Value Variables: Age: Ecological Value Variables: Age Why do kids get ‘greener’ as they get older? Moral development, move from egocentrism Where do these values and attitudes come from?: Where do these values and attitudes come from? Value Origins - DSP: Value Origins - DSP Literature - what we read and listen to. Fairy tales, movies with DSP themes in them trouble in the forest, evil nature ‘bare necessities - nature provides Value Origins - DSP: Value Origins - DSP Art - How is nature depicted? Medieval andamp; Renaissance Value Origins - DSP: Value Origins - DSP Religion: Judeo/Christian - Genesis, Fill the earth and subdue it rule over the fish and the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground, domination, anthropocentrism Value Origins - DSP: Value Origins - DSP American Frontier Experience: belief in progress, abundance of resources, wild west, dominate animals, growth and expansion Slide30: Slide31: Value Origins - DSP: Value Origins - DSP Technology: Farming technology distances us from the environment Slide33: Slide34: Slide35: Value Origins - NEP: Value Origins - NEP Literature: Transcendentalists in Literature Nash (1982) Wilderness and American Mind. Yale. Tuan (1979) Topophilia. Prentice-Hall. Deval and Sessins (1990) Deep Ecology Value Origins - NEP: Value Origins - NEP Art: Hudson River School Sierra Club Ansel Adams Value Origins - NEP: Value Origins - NEP Policy: United States the first country in the world to establish national parks Value Origins - NEP: Value Origins - NEP Activities: most popular recreational activity in the US is gardening Value Origins - NEP: Value Origins - NEP Religion: Stewardship Reverence for life of all kinds Feng Shui - balance, harmony, environmental elements TAO and Buddhist focus on one with nature Native American beliefs in Earth as our mother Slide41: Why is the planet in danger?: Why is the planet in danger? Why is the Environment in Danger?: Why is the Environment in Danger? Population: Population Population: Population Population: Population Exponential population growth Population: Population 'Spaceship Earth' - is there a carrying capacity? (Malthus) increases in population are good at first, but then begins to reduce resources When humans are pressed, they solve with technology Consumption / Lifestyle: Consumption / Lifestyle The problem is not necessarily the number of people, but multiply those numbers by the pressure we put on the environment America uses PILES more energy per person than any other country Throw away society Pollute Use of resources (water, land, oil, etc) is huge in US Consumption / Lifestyle: Consumption / Lifestyle Annual Per Capita Energy Consumption 1992: Annual Per Capita Energy Consumption 1992 Consumption/Lifestyle: Consumption/Lifestyle Consumption/Lifestyle: Consumption/Lifestyle Consumption/Lifestyle: Consumption/Lifestyle Consumption/Lifestyle: Consumption/Lifestyle Consumption/Lifestyle: Consumption/Lifestyle Consumption/Lifestyle: Consumption/Lifestyle Consumption/Lifestyle: Consumption/Lifestyle Consumption/Lifestyle: Consumption/Lifestyle Consumption/Lifestyle: Consumption/Lifestyle Consumption/Lifestyle: Consumption/Lifestyle Consumption/Lifestyle: Consumption/Lifestyle How do we change environmental values and promote positive action?: How do we change environmental values and promote positive action? Slide63: Problem: Carrying Capacity Overpopulation Lifestyle (energy/resource use) Solution Change Attitudes Change Behaviors Political/Economic Context Promoting Change: Promoting Change Environmental Education Programs critical importance of active, hands on, interactive involvement - more effective in changing attitudes Should offer: Knowledge Control, Self Efficacy Modeling Active Involvement Promoting Change: Promoting Change Experience in the Natural World Level of experience in the natural world is correlated to positive ecological values and positive ecological action/activism Attitudes do not equal Action: Attitudes do not equal Action What is the link between ecological values and behavior? Slide67: Environmental Knowledge ie. Fossil fuels produce CO2 in the atmosphere when burned. Environmental Values ie. all things, whether humans, animals, plants or stones have the right to exist. Behavioral Intention ie. I would prefer to drive only if absolutely necessary.
