Milbrath Environmental Values Survey (Appendix B)

Overview

The environmental values survey instrument from Appendix B of Lester Milbrath's (1984) landmark book "Environmentalists: Vanguard for a New Society." Measures the degree to which individuals endorse a New Environmental Paradigm (NEP) worldview versus a Dominant Social Paradigm (DSP) worldview across multiple value domains including beliefs about nature, economic growth, technology, social equity, and governance. One of the foundational instruments in environmental values research, predating and informing the development of the revised NEP scale. Covers a broader range of value dimensions than the NEP scale alone.
