Abstract
As our planet faces unprecedented environmental challenges, understanding and influencing individual perspectives become paramount for fostering meaningful action and sustainable solutions. This correlational study investigates the intricate interplay among sexism, conventionalism, and gender-specific system justification, exploring their collective impact on pro-environmental attitudes. We hypothesize that elevated levels of sexism, conventionalism, and gender-specific system justification will each be independently associated with reduced pro-environmental attitudes, even after accounting for sociodemographic factors (H1, H2, H3). Additionally, we expect an intricate interrelation among sexism, conventionalism, and gender-specific system justification collectively influencing pro-environmental attitudes, even after controlling for sociodemographics (H4). Drawing on data from the 2016 pre-election nationally representative survey conducted by the Psychology Political Behavior Studies (PPBS), encompassing 1500 participants from the United States. Findings reveal a significant relation between sexism, conventionalism, and gender-specific system justification on pro- environmental attitudes, affirming the hypothesis that these factors individually and collectively mold individuals attitudes on environmental matters. The study provides valuable insights into the interplay of underlying social psychological factors, individual attitudes, and societal beliefs in shaping environmental concerns. Understanding the relations between social psychological factors and environmental attitudes is essential for developing effective strategies to promote pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors.
