Abstract
We investigated whether ecowellness significantly differed based on participants' generation status (i.e., millennial, Generation X, and combined baby boom/silent generation) and biological sex using a 2 × 3 analysis of variance. A statistically significant interaction suggested that millennial men in the sample had lower levels of ecowellness compared with millennial women, a pattern in biological sex that held for individuals in the combined baby boom/silent generation group. In contrast, male Generation X participants had higher ecowellness levels compared with their female counterparts. Results are described through a life course health development perspective, and implications for professional counseling and future research are discussed.
