Conceptions of Rural Life and Environmental Concern

Buttel, Frederick H.; Flinn, William L.

Rural Sociology, 42, 4, 544-55, W 77

Data from a statewide sample of Wisconsin residents are used to test the hypothesis that ruralism is more strongly associated with environmental concern than is agrarianism. Only weak support for this hypothesis is obtained among the total sample; however, the results for the upper-middle class are more in accord with it. (Author/NQ)
