Endorsement of the New Ecological Paradigm
Environment and Behavior, 2007Results from 240 students (120 each from Brazil and Norway) on the 15-item revised New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) show higher endorsement of the ecological paradigm from the Brazilians; suggestions are that this relates to cultural variables rather than to technological development variables. There is no consistent relationship between scores on the NEP

Quantum computing: a new paradigm for ecology
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2023A global technology arms race is underway to build evermore powerful and precise quantum computers. Quantum computers have the potential to tackle certain quantitative problems quicker than classical computers. The current focus of quantum computing is on pushing the boundaries of fundamental quantum information and commercial applications in ...

Dimensionality of the New Ecological Paradigm
Environment and Behavior, 2011Dunlap and colleagues’ New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale is widely used and, thus, merits testing to determine whether it should be treated as one scale, a set of independent scales, or a set of correlated subscales. The authors test for all three possibilities using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and find that a second-order factor structure ...

The eco‐field: A new paradigm for landscape ecology
Ecological Research, 2004In the spirit of the theory of biocomplexity and of the non‐linear emergent characters of ecological systems, the eco‐field is a new paradigm that integrates the vision of the landscape as a neutral matrix (like a habitat) in which organisms are living, and contemporarily as a product of the human mind.

American Anthropologist, 1976
thropologists employed those concepts. I do not think that "exploitation" and "surplus" have these three properties. Finally, I disagree utterly with Dunn on the subjective aspect of exploitation, on the need to know whether or not peasants (or others said to be exploited) feel themselves to be exploited.

‘Urban Ecological Security’: A New Urban Paradigm?
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, 2009AbstractThe term ‘ecological security’ is usually used in relation to attempts to safeguard flows of ecological resources, infrastructure and services at the national scale. But increasing concerns over ‘urban ecological security’ (UES) are now giving rise to strategies to reconfigure cities and their infrastructures in ways that help to secure their ...

The New Ecological Paradigm in Social-Psychological Context
Environment and Behavior, 1995The New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale is the most frequently used measure of environmental concern, but it has not been placed in the context of a social-psychological theory of attitude formation or attitude-behavior relationships. Using data from a northern Virginia sample, this study examines NEP in relation to the variables in a theoretical ...

Aesthetic Implications of the New Paradigm in Ecology
The Journal of Aesthetic Education, 2008Thomas Kuhn describes a scientific paradigm as a conceptual framework or set of background beliefs and values held by members of a scientific community. Part of a scientific education, he argues, is learning how the background beliefs and values that underlie scientific practices articulate a paradigm.

Southern Ocean diversity: new paradigms from molecular ecology
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2012Southern Ocean biodiversity reflects past climate, oceanographic, and tectonic changes. Molecular data from contemporary populations carry signatures of these processes. Here, we review new molecular studies on Southern Ocean benthic fauna. Many of these studies focus on species with extensive geographic or bathymetric distributions, and resolve ...

“Synthesis of Ecology and Economics ” Towards a New Theoretical Paradigm
Educational Administration: Theory and Practice, 2023This paper explores the synthesis between ecology and economics to establish a new theoretical paradigm for sustainable development Traditional economic models often ignore ecological limits, leading to resource depletion, biodiversity loss and climate change, conversely, ecological systems provide the foundational services upon which all economic ...
