摘要：While numerous studies find modest, consistent gender differences in environmental concern with-in the general publics of North American and European countries, such a pattern has not been studied much among elected officials. The results from the few studies of elected officials are in-consistent. We test if women report stronger environmental concern than men across four levels of the Swedish polity, utilizing three datasets: a representative sample of the general public, a survey of all representatives in municipal-level and county-level councils, and a survey of the members of the Swedish Parliament. Results from our multivariate ordered logistic regression models reveal a con-sistent pattern across the lower three levels. Women report greater environmental concern than men in the general public, in municipal councils, and in regionally elected assemblies. In the Swe-dish Parliament, we find no significant gender difference on environmental concern, as the effect of gender is largely explained by political orientation.
