Abstract

Abstract The main purpose of this study was to examine the association between interest in nature and attraction to the mass media. We measured environmental knowledge, environmental attitudes, and attraction to celebrities among a sample of 185 English-speaking community-based adults obtained through Mechanical Turk. A secondary purpose of the study was to validate measures of environmental attitudes and environmental knowledge. As predicted, those with greater attraction to celebrities showed less knowledge of the environment. Our results support the validity of the environmental attitude and environmental knowledge measures, although the two constructs appear to be only marginally related to one another. Implications for environmental education are discussed.

脱离自然，对大众传媒感兴趣

摘要本研究的主要目的是探讨对自然的兴趣和对大众媒体的吸引力之间的关系。我们测量了环境知识、环境态度和对名人的吸引力，其中包括185名说英语的社区成年人，他们是通过Mechanical Turk获得的。该研究的第二个目的是验证环境态度和环境知识的测量方法。正如预测的那样，那些对名人更有吸引力的人对环境的了解更少。我们的研究结果支持环境态度和环境知识测量的有效性，尽管这两个构式之间似乎只有边际相关。讨论了环境教育的意义。
