The way individuals relate to the natural environment is culturally patterned. In this article we review and discuss cross-cultural differences and similarities in a number of important domains including environmental concern, environmental risk perception, and pro-environmental behaviour. Three possible psychological universals (future thinking, self-transcendent orientation, and psychological distance) in association with pro-environmental attitudes and behaviour are proposed, and cultural variations are also discussed. We highlight evidence-including new analyses of cross-cultural data-indicating that an overwhelming majority of the world's population supports environmental protection, and identifies with the value of 'looking after the environment.'
个人与自然环境的关系是由文化模式塑造的。在本文中，我们回顾并讨论了在一些重要领域的跨文化差异和相似之处，包括环境关切、环境风险认知和亲环境行为。我们提出了与亲环境态度和行为相关的三种可能的心理共性（前瞻性思维、自我超越取向和心理距离），并讨论了文化差异。我们强调了相关证据——包括对跨文化数据的新分析——表明世界上绝大多数人口支持环境保护，并认同“保护环境”的价值观。
