This article examines cross-cultural differences in the value cluster
of environmentalism and postmaterialism. Based on an extension of Ronald
Inglehart’s “objective problems–subjective values” hypothesis, we posit
different sources of postmaterialism and environmental concern in wealthy
versus poor countries. We test hypotheses on the relationship between
national wealth, postmaterialist values, and environmental concern using
empirical data from the World Values Survey waves 5 and 6 and the International
Social Survey Program 2010. Using multilevel regression models with
cross-level interaction terms and country fixed effects, we show that the
effect of postmaterialism on environmental concern is indeed moderated by
national wealth: whereas there is a weak or even no effect in poorer countries,
the relationship is substantial in wealthy countries. Therefore, we argue
that individual postmaterialist values and environmental concern do in fact
form a coherent structure in wealthy countries, but should be considered as
isolated constructs in poorer countries.
