abstract = {This research analyzes the predictive capacity of psychosocial variables that can
influence the decision to vote for political parties that include pro-environmental
measures in their program. To this end, a study was carried out with a sample of
414 people of legal age who could exercise their right to vote (mean age = 26.92,
SD = 10.53). The participants were divided into two groups: (1) Pro-environmental
voters, those who during the last elections in Spain based their voting decision on
whether the political party included pro-environment measures in its electoral program
(n = 190), and (2) Non-pro-environmental voters, those other people who voted for a
political party without considering whether pro-environment measures were included
in its electoral program (even if such environmental protection measures had been
included) (n = 224). The results indicate that, in comparison with their counterparts
who do not vote for pro-environmental parties, those who voted for political parties
during the last elections by considering the inclusion of pro-environment measures in
their electoral program showed the highest scores on the biospheric and socio-altruistic
values of ecocentrism, anthropocentrism, connectivity with nature and environmental
concern, and scored lower on self-centered values. With the exception of connectivity
with nature, biospheric values and beliefs were good predictors of pro-environmental
voting behavior.},
