Growing Up Green : Becoming an Agent of Care for the Natural World (2009, result): “When Evans et al. (2007) created a measure of environmental behavior for 6 to 8 year-olds, they compared children’s self-reports with mothers’ reports of their children’s actions, and found the strongest correlations for L. Chawla / Growing Up Green behaviors that the mother and child shared…”
The Intergenerational Transmission of Environmental Concern: The Influence of Parents and Communication Patterns Within the Family (2014, background): “This kind of research is especially important because environmental attitudes have a strong influence on environmental behavior (Evans et al., 2007; Mobley, Vagias, & DeWard, 2010).”

Fostering changes in attitude, knowledge and behavior: demographic variation in environmental education effects (2018, background): “Current developmental analyses show that children develop an understanding for ecological principles and the potential anthropogenic impact on the environment by the age of 11 years (Evans et al. 2007).”

The effect of eco-schools on children’s environmental values and behaviour (2013, background): “Here, the two higher orderfactor structure of environmental values might prove to be a valuable approach to studying gender differences, as it might explain why some researchers have failed to demonstrate them (e.g. Evans et al. 2007).”
The 2-MEV Scale in the United States: A Measure of Children's Environmental Attitudes Based on the Theory of Ecological Attitude (2010, background): “…framework and/or without appropriate validity analysis, has contributed to the lack of agreement on the importance of environmental attitudes (Armstrong & Impara, 1991; Bogner & Wilhelm, 1996; Evans et al., 2007; Gray, 1985; Leeming et al., 1993; Musser & Malkus, 1994; Van Liere & Dunlap, 1981).”
Nature-based environmental education of children: Environmental knowledge and connectedness to nature, together, are related to ecological behaviour (2017, background): “As in childhood the motivation to be ecologically friendly is formed and probably has a lifelong effect (Evans et al., 2007), the environmental education of children is thus especially important.”
What Difference Does It Make? Assessing Outcomes From Participation in a Residential Environmental Education Program (2008, methodology): “Although we based the development of these measures specifically on Tremont staff ’s visions for the program, there are many parallels with measures commonly used by other EE researchers (e.g., Bunting & Cousins, 1983; Dunlap & Van Liere, 1978; Evans et al., 2007; Leeming, Dwyer, & Bracken, 1995; Mu”

Construction and Validation of an Instrument to Measure Environmental Orientations in a Diverse Group of Children (2011, methodology): “Acknowledging these constraints, Evans et al. (2007) used innovative, developmentally appropriate game formats to independently measure the environmental attitudes and behaviors of first and second grade children.”
