Two Shades of Green? Gender Differences in Environmental Concern and Activism
利用世界价值观调查数据，发现女性比男性更关注环境，但参与环保行动较少，原因是休闲时间优先用于非环保活动，且家庭和工作责任限制了关注向行动的转化。
ABSTRACT This study examines gender differences in environmental concern and activism using data from the World Values Survey. The results indicate that women are more likely than men to be concerned about the environment, but are less likely to engage in environmental activism. The study further explores potential channels underlying women's lower participation in environmental activism and shows that women tend to prioritise non‐environmental causes in their leisure time. Moreover, family responsibilities and work commitments limit women's ability to translate environmental concern into activism, reinforcing the concern–action gap. These results highlight a prioritisation effect , whereby women reallocate civic engagement toward more role‐congruent activities, such as women's groups, rather than disengaging per se.
