It delineates the substantive consequences of dimensionality for our understanding of environmental behavior and both demographic and religious correlates of environmentalism. We found that our NEP-based Scale of Worldview contained two distinct dimensions that were differentially predicted by demographic and religious variables. Of particular importance was the relationship of religious fundamentalism to the two subscales thereby highlighting the inherent religious implications of NEP item wording. In general, we found that Worldviews do not contribute substantially to the prediction of Environmental Behavior. Additionally, Worldviews do not allow us to account for demographic differences in the performance of Environmental Behavior. We concluded that environmental worldviews have limited policy implications given the lack of correspondence to behavior but that they remain an important prerequisite to such behavior which is deserving of careful study. }, number={6}, journal={ENVIRONMENT AND BEHAVIOR}, author={Nooney, JG and Woodrum, E and Hoban, TJ and Clifford, WB}, year={2003}, month={Nov}, pages={763–783} } @article{woodrum_2003, title={The sociological revolution: From the enlightenment to the global age}, volume={32}, ISSN={["0094-3061"]}, DOI={10.2307/3089894}, abstractNote={By controversially turning away from the current debates which surround social theory, this book provides an historical analysis of the profound burden of sociology and its implications today.}, number={1}, journal={CONTEMPORARY SOCIOLOGY-A JOURNAL OF REVIEWS}, author={Woodrum, E}, year={2003}, month={Jan}, pages={123–124} } @article{nooney_woodrum_2002, title={Religious coping and church-based social support as predictors of mental health outcomes: Testing a conceptual model}, volume={41}, ISSN={["0021-8294"]}, DOI={10.1111/1468-5906.00122}, abstractNote={This study assesses religious coping and church‐based social support as mechanisms explaining religious benefits to mental health. We build on recent research and test an explanatory model using the 1998 General Social Survey. The model considers both institutional and individual aspects of religiousness, and their interrelations, as predictors of mental health outcomes. It considers negative effects of religion along with the well‐known positive effects. We found that benefits of attendance, a measure of institutional participation, are mediated by church‐based social support. Benefits of prayer, an individual form of religiousness, are mediated by the similarly privatized religious coping. Institutional measures of religion were found to impact individuals’ religious coping styles. Implications are suggested for the scientific study of religion as well as for the applied efforts of clergy, pastoral counselors, and lay church members concerned with improving religious benefits.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL FOR THE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF RELIGION}, author={Nooney, J and Woodrum, E}, year={2002}, month={Jun}, pages={359–368} } @article{woodrum_1998, title={The International Handbook of Environmental Sociology}, volume={27}, ISSN={["0094-3061"]}, DOI={10.2307/2654270}, number={6}, journal={CONTEMPORARY SOCIOLOGY-A JOURNAL OF REVIEWS}, author={Woodrum, E}, year={1998}, month={Nov}, pages={626–627} } @article{wolkomir_futreal_woodrum_hoban_1997, title={Denominational subcultures of environmentalism}, volume={38}, ISSN={["2211-4866"]}, DOI={10.2307/3512194}, abstractNote={Utilizing a national sample, six denominational subcultures are examined for average member adherence to dominion belief net of demographic variables. In a test of Lynn White style expectations, denominational subcultures with higher average levels of dominion belief are hypothesized to have lower average levels of environmental concern and behavior; likewise, subcultures with lower average levels of dominion belief are hypothesized to have higher levels of environmental concern and behavior. In no cases are the hypotheses supported; this indicates that denominational differences in dominion belief do not translate into differences in denominational environmentalism. Two additional findings are also discussed: 1) independent of dominion belief, Black Protestant denominations have lower average levels of environmentalism than other subcultures ; and 2) religious salience is found to have a positive effect on environmental concern and behavior when dominion belief is statistically controlled.

This article summarizes the demographic parameters of environmental concern, then evaluates religious and political influences on that concern and related activity, using General Social Surveys data. It assesses influences on willingness to pay for environmental programs, individual environmental behaviors, and participation in political activities for related causes. Young people and women express greater environmental concern, but older persons more often engage in individual environmental activities such as recycling. The association of fundamentalism with political conservatism compounds interpretation of religion because political conservatives are antagonistic to environmentalism. Religious affiliation strength has positive effects on environmental concern, and worship attendance has positive effects on individual environmental behaviors, when fundamentalism and political variables are controlled.
