The New Environmental Paradigm Scale: Has It Outlived Its Usefulness?

Lalonde, Roxanne; Jackson, Edgar L.

Journal of Environmental Education, v33 n4 p28-36 Sum 2002

Reports on a study based on the premise that although it continues to be desirable to chart public attitudes toward the natural environment, the widely-used, 12-item New Environmental Paradigm (NEP) scale is in need of revision if it is to measure the public's more recent and sophisticated understanding of complex environmental issues.
