ABSTRACT
The
present study examines relationships between the environmental values of P (preservation)
and U (utilization) as measured by the 2-MEV(2-Factor Model of Environmental
Values) scale (Wiseman & Bogner, 2003; Bogner & Wiseman, 2006), and
authoritarianism, measured as a factor extracted from a shortened set of items adapted from the
Wilson-Patterson conservatism scale (Wilson & Patterson, 1968; Wilson, 1973).
Respondents were 368 university students of Southern Germany. The study reports
a negative correlation between authoritarianism and preservation and a positive
correlation between authoritarianism and utilization. This result is interpreted in terms of the aggressive and self-serving
nature of those scoring high on the tough-minded brand of conservatism assessed
by the authoritarianism factor.
KEYWORDS
