19. sm Adult User Guide The purpose of the study was to highlight the kinds of life experiences that produce adults who are informed about and actively promote environmentally positive behaviour Following the work of Tanner a questionnaire was devised and mailed to the membership of the National Association for Environmental Education NAEE in the United Kingdom They were asked to provide their approximate age gender details of their demonstration of practical concern for the environment and an autobiographical statement identifying those experiences that led to this concern The participants were also asked to state what they considered to be their most significant life experiences and to write a statement indicating which if any of the years of their lives were particularly memorable in the development of positive attitudes toward the environment As the form only gave the aims and purposes of the research the participants were able to provide completely original responses unbiased by any examples A preliminary study of the material was carried out and a report published in 1993 A second more detailed analysis was made in 1994 The responses were studied the influences mentioned categorised recorded and entered into a database which is lodged with the ESRC data archive The accompanying Codebook gives details of the questionnaire and the categories used in this analysis ESRC Emergent Environmentalism Project Award Ref R00234432 Em
