Resumen

En esta investigación se estudia la validez de una versión castellana de la escala «Environmental Concern Scale» (ECS) llevada a cabo con 716 estudiantes. Las puntuaciones obtenidas por los sujetos proambientalistas y no proambientalistas resultan significativamente diferentes. Asímismo, se estudian las relaciones entre las actitudes hacia la preocupación por el medio ambiente, la energía nuclear y la ideología política, mostrándose una relación entre ellas de diferente intensidad. Mientras la energía nuclear está fuertemente vinculada a la ideología política, no sucede en tal medida entre ésta y las actitudes conservacionistas, ya que tanto los de derechas como los de izquierdas participan de la preocupación por el medio ambiente, aunque no en la misma medida.

Abstract

This research focuses on the validity of a spanish version of the Environmental Concern Scale (ECS) earned out with 716 students. The scores obtained by pro-environmental and non pro-environmental subjects are significantly different. The relationship between attitudes towards environmental concern, nuclear power and political ideology are also studied, showing relationships between them of varying strength. Attitudes towards nuclear power are strongly linked to political ideology, whereas the link between the latter and conservationist attitudes is not so great, since right-wing, as well as left-wing subjects share in concern for the environment, although not to the same extent.
