Description
The development of science and technology (ST) should respond to the needs of today's world, which is unfortunately heading towards a climate catastrophe. Many people do indeed use ST to protect the environment. However, for many, technological progress, economic growth is prioritized over environmental concerns. The presented study tracks the mutual relation of these attitudes. Log-linear analysis was conducted using secondary data obtained from the World Values Survey. The study sample includes all European countries that participated in the survey and Canada, China, Turkey, United States of America. The research considers four types of attitudes: Synergy of attitudes, Green attitudes, Red attitudes and Rejection of attitudes. The results explain the relationship between classification into a particular type of attitudes and variables such as gender, age, education level. The study is addressed to practitioners, policy-makers, educators interested in better understanding the needs of future participants in educational activities for environment protection.
