This study was designed to identify personality factors that underlie concern for ecological-environmental problems. High and low environmental-concern individuals were given the California Psychological Inventory and were found to differ significantly on many subscales. A factor analysis of the CPI data produced four factors which closely paralleled previous CPI research findings. In conjunction with this analysis, four factorially derived scores were obtained for each individual. Comparison of high and low environmental-concern individual's factorially derived scores showed high environmental-concern persons as having stronger value orientation, person orientation, and ethical-conscientiousness, but not differing from low environmental-concern individuals in terms of independence of thought or action. Further, high environmental-concern females were found to be significantly more extraverted, "leader-types" than low environmental-concern females; while the opposite relation was obtained for males. Thus, it appears that men and women become involved with the environmental movement for different reasons, Finally, additional implications of the involvement of basic psychological individual differences in determining ecological-environmental concern were discussed.
本研究旨在确定构成对生态环境问题关注基础的人格因素。对高环境关注度和低环境关注度的个体进行了加利福尼亚心理调查表测试，结果发现他们在许多分量表上存在显著差异。对加利福尼亚心理调查表的数据进行因素分析得出了四个因素，这与之前对加利福尼亚心理调查表的研究结果非常相似。结合这一分析，为每个个体获得了四个基于因素分析得出的分数。对高环境关注度和低环境关注度个体的基于因素分析得出的分数进行比较，结果显示高环境关注度的人具有更强的价值取向、人际取向和道德责任心，但在思维或行动独立性方面与低环境关注度的个体没有差异。此外，还发现高环境关注度的女性比低环境关注度的女性明显更外向，属于“领导型”；而男性的情况则相反。因此，男性和女性参与环保运动的原因似乎不同。最后，讨论了基本心理个体差异在决定生态环境关注度方面的其他影响。
