The Effects of Childhood Experiences on Adult Pro-Environmental Behaviors: A Focus on US Latino Populations

Abstract

This study explores results from a representative survey of 650 US residents looking at how childhood experiences affect the likelihood of engaging in Pro-Environmental Behaviors (PEBs) as an adult. This study focuses on Latino groups specifically, looking at how Latino groups compare as a whole to the general US population. There is a further breakdown of the mosaic of groups that constitute Latinos, the largest US minority, and how childhood experiences and demographic factors affect each sub-sect and their likelihood of engaging in PEBs as adults.
