What counts as an “environmental” issue? Differences in issue conceptualization by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status
Publication date: Available online 18 February 2020Source: Journal of Environmental PsychologyAuthor(s): Hwanseok Song, Neil A. Lewis, Matthew T. Ballew, Mario Bravo, Julie Davydova, H. Oliver Gao, Robert Garcia, Sofia Hiltner, Sarah M. Naiman, Adam R. Pearson, Rainer Romero-Canyas, Jonathon P. SchuldtAbstractRacial/ethnic minorities and lower-socioeconomic (SES) groups in the U.S. face disproportionate environmental risks, which may hold implications for how these groups construe environmental issues, relative to other segments of the public. We explored this possibility with a diverse sample of 1191 U.S. adults, hypothes...

Reducing personal clothing consumption: A cross-cultural validation of the comprehensive action determination model
Publication date: Available online 6 February 2020Source: Journal of Environmental PsychologyAuthor(s): Tina Joanes, Wencke Gwozdz, Christian A. KlöcknerAbstractClothing production has high impacts on the environment, with a reduction in the consumption of clothes providing a contribution towards urgently needed sustainable production and consumption. The present study employs the comprehensive action determination model (CADM) to identify psychological determinants associated with reduced clothing consumption across five different countries. In two studies (n = 5,185) we sought to identify the constructs most strongl...

Messaging for environmental action: The role of moral framing and message source
Publication date: Available online 5 February 2020Source: Journal of Environmental PsychologyAuthor(s): Kristin Hurst, Marc J. SternAbstractDivisions between political Liberals and Conservatives on environmental issues seem to be widening, with Liberals generally more pro-environmental than Conservatives. We propose that common framing of environmental messages tends to perpetuate these gaps. We designed two experiments to examine this assumption and explore the prospects of narrowing these divisions using communication based on moral foundations theory. Moral foundations theory posits that there are at least five universa...

Why do cosmopolitan individuals tend to be more pro-environmentally committed? The mediating pathways via knowledge acquisition and emotional affinity toward nature
Publication date: Available online 4 February 2020Source: Journal of Environmental PsychologyAuthor(s): Kenichi Ito, Angela K.-y. Leung, Tengjiao HuangAbstractPast research offered evidence that cosmopolitan individuals behave more pro-environmentally. The current study systematically examined two mechanisms explaining why. One the one hand, cosmopolitan individuals acquire knowledge about global challenges concerning environmental crises and become aware of mitigating strategies. On the other hand, cosmopolitan individuals extend their prosociality beyond humankind and develop an emotional affinity toward the natural envi...

Spatial dark figures of rapes: (In)Consistencies across police and hospital data
Publication date: Available online 30 January 2020Source: Journal of Environmental PsychologyAuthor(s): Silas Nogueira de Melo, Rémi Boivin, Carlo MorselliAbstractThe dark figures of crime are occurrences that, by some criteria, are called crime yet that are not registered in the official statistics. According to several studies, only a few rapes are reported to the authorities. The current study, using crime data from Campinas, Brazil, sought to examine the spatial dark figures of rapes through the comparison between the spatial patterns of incidents from an official source (police) and the spatial patterns of incidents ...

To veg or not to veg? The impact of framing on vegetarian food choice
Publication date: Available online 24 January 2020Source: Journal of Environmental PsychologyAuthor(s): Dario Krpan, Nanne HoutsmaAbstractResearch suggests that consuming vegetarian foods is one of the key lifestyle changes that could reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, transforming dietary habits to counter climate change has received little attention to date compared to other green behaviors. In three large pre-registered online studies conducted on 11,066 US participants, the present research tested whether reframing the name of the vegetarian food category impacts the choice of dishes from this category in the co...

Effects of competence- and integrity-based trust on public acceptability of renewable energy projects in China and the Netherlands
Publication date: Available online 20 January 2020Source: Journal of Environmental PsychologyAuthor(s): Lu Liu, Thijs Bouman, Goda Perlaviciute, Linda StegAbstractAcceptability of renewable energy projects depends on the trust people have in agents responsible for those projects. Two dimensions of trust are relevant in this respect: competence-based and integrity-based trust. Yet, the unique and interaction effects of these two dimensions of trust on project acceptability are not well understood. We conducted two experimental studies to test these effects in China and the Netherlands. As expected, higher integrity-based tr...

Reducing, and bridging, the psychological distance of climate change
We examined the usefulness of two related communication strategies: proximising climate change with news focussing on local impacts, and bridging psychological distance by raising the salience of people's global identity as part of humanity. We first examined the often implicitly assumed process underlying proximising, namely reducing the psychological socio-spatial distance of climate change, which in turn might make the issue more relevant for people, which in turn might promote behavioural engagement. Second, we argued that when people consider themselves as part of a global society, proximising may not be necessary as ...
