Environmental Concern: Does it Make a Difference how it's Measured?
Van Liere, K. D., & Dunlap, R. E. (1981). Environmental concern: Does it make a difference how it's measured?. Environment and Behavior, 13, 6, 651-676.

Results show little support for the assumption that all environmental concern measures are equivalent. (34 ref)
