Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate factors influencing concern for global warming among six Islamic nations (Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Indonesia and Malaysia). Due to the hierarchical nature of the data, the study uses multilevel and Bayesian multilevel modeling to cross‐culturally test the influence of nations“ wealth, CO 2 emissions, post‐materialistic tendencies, religiosity, political orientation and locus of control on concern for global warming. The results obtained from the Islamic nations investigated contradict both the affluence and the post‐materialist hypotheses. The general pattern of the results shows that concern for global warming is a global phenomenon and not unique to the wealthy nations. We also found that concern for global warming is driven by religiosity, political orientation and internal locus of control. The findings of this paper highlight the importance of simultaneously assessing individual‐ and contextual‐level variables in determining concern for global warming across nations. They also highlight the importance of examining the specificity of global warming and environmental concern within a non‐Western context. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment
