The Personal Threat of Environmental Problems as Predictor of Environmental Practices
Abstract
In the 1990 Orange County (CA) Annual Survey, residents who perceive that environmental problems pose a very serious threat to their health and well-being are more likely to engage overall in environmental practices and, specifically, to recycle, conserve water, buy environmentally safe products, and limit their driving. Personal environmental threat is a better predictor of overall environmental practices than are demographic variables and political factors. Perceived environmental threat is highest among younger residents, women, liberals, and Democrats. Future directions for research on perceived environmental threat in particular, and environmental concern in general, are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
