Original abstract

Abstract Understanding the factors that shape pro-environmental attitudes is essential for advancing climate action. Previous studies have primarily examined values as individual determinants; however, this study contributes by analyzing the interplay across different levels of values – individual, social group, and societal – and their combined influence on attitudes toward climate change. Specifically, this study investigates how cultural values at both the individual and societal levels interact to shape individuals’ pro-environmental attitudes toward climate change. To achieve this, multilevel modeling was applied to assess whether the attitudes of individuals from 36 European countries were influenced by these value levels. The results indicate that both individual and societal values influence attitudes, with societal values reinforcing the effect of individual-level values. Thus, individuals who hold emancipatory values and live in emancipatory societies express more positive pro-environmental attitudes than others. Similarly, in secular-rational societies, differences in individual-level values become more significant. The main contribution of this study is to emphasize the importance of considering multiple levels of values, demonstrating that the values predominant in society amplify the impact of individual values on pro-environmental attitudes toward climate change. Understanding these interactions between value levels may provide critical insights for strengthening global climate policy support.
