Environmental Values Short Form
Zimmermann · 1996
Overview
A short-form version of the Environmental Values (EV) scale, derived from the Children's Environmental Response Inventory (CERI). Retains the same three subscales as the full EV — Pastoralism, Urbanism, and Environmental Adaptation — using the same 31 items but with a simplified scoring procedure. Designed for use with both adults and children. Validated by comparing subscale scores to half of the original CERI scores.
