Dataset for "A study of public understanding of and response to climate change in the South of England"

The thesis "A study of public understanding of and response to climate change in the South of England" reports the results of a postal survey questionnaire designed to determine the range and salience of influences on understanding of, and behavioural responses to, climate change within a representative population. The questionnaire comprised 8 pages of quantitative and qualitative questions grouped into four sections: General environmental concerns and experiences; Awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour in relation to climate change; Environmental values, worldview and actions; and Demographic measures. This dataset contains the chi-square results for question 24 (attitudes to climate change) and question 26 (motivations for impact-orientated environmental actions) from this survey, corresponding to appendices 5.4 and 5.5 of the thesis, respectively.
