Environmental Views and Values of Children in an Inner-City Black Community.
Kahn, Peter H., Jr.; Friedman, Batya
Child Development, v66 n5 p1403-17 Oct 1995
Interviewed 72 children across grades 1, 3, and 5 from an impoverished inner-city black community on their views and values about the natural environment. Overall, children showed sensitivity to nature and awareness of environmental problems, although this sensitivity and awareness were attenuated by both developmental and cultural factors. (MDM)
