Abstract

Direct/indirect predictors of environmental justice beliefs were explored in the context of shale gas development in Pennsylvania. Results indicated positive shale gas attitudes negatively predicted environmental justice beliefs but negative shale gas attitudes did not predict environmental justice beliefs. Direct positive predictors of beliefs were contrasted with negative indirect predictors.
