Murray (1998) analysed data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). NLSY consists of 12686 subjects born between 1957—1964, with successive cohorts assessed, beginning in 1979, on the Armed Forces Qualifying Test (AFQT). AFQT was converted to IQ estimates normalized around a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.2...

In this chapter, we focus on the items dealing with environmental issues, and particularly with six statements, which belong to the revised New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) (Dunlap et al. 2000).

EVS is a large-scale, cross-national and longitudinal survey the first wave of which was in...
