Resumo(s)
The social dominance-environmentalism nexus proposes that orientations for
inequality and domination are expressed both in human-human and human-nature relations.
In two studies, the present work applies and extends this proposition to understand
endorsement of environmental values, concern with climate change, support for climate
policies, and responsibility for climate action. In study one, using a representative random
sample from Portugal (N=1270, 53.3% female; European Social Survey, ESS8), social
dominance orientation showed unique associations with concern with climate change.
Moreover, opposition to immigration (as expression of anti-egalitarianism in intergroup
relations) showed unique associations with all four measures of environmentalism. In study
two, multi-level analyses using representative random samples from 20 other countries in
Europe (N=38830, 51.5% female; ESS8) confirmed the associations between opposition to
immigration and environmentalism, controlling for a set of sociodemographic covariates,
political orientation, and nesting at the country level. However, there were differences in the
strength and direction of these associations based on country levels of societal development
(i.e., Human-Development-Index; HDI). These differences reinforce the notion that context
or situational variables may shape the links between diverse expressions of (anti
)egalitarianism and (anti-)environmentalism. Inputs for applied research on hierarchy
affirming tendencies toward others and the natural environment are proposed and discussed.
