- We are at risk, and so what? Place attachment, environmental risk perceptions and preventive coping behaviours (2015, unknown): “…or community (Pahl, Harris, Todd, & Rutter, 2005; Schmidt & Gifford, 1989; Weinstein, Klotz, & Sandman, 1988), and it is very likely to occur when referring to environmental risk (e.g., Dunlap, Gallup,& Gallup,1993; Hatfield& Job, 2001; Lima& Castro, 2005; Pahl et al., 2005; Uzzell, 2000).”
- Cross-Cultural Evidence for Spatial Bias in Beliefs About the Severity of Environmental Problems (2014, background): “Some scholars have framed spatial bias in terms of comparative optimism (Gifford et al., 2009; Hatfield & Job, 2001; Pahl et al., 2005), but perhaps comparative optimism and spatial bias are special cases of a broader cognitive process.”
- Temporal pessimism and spatial optimism in environmental assessments: An 18-nation study (2009, background): “According to Peterson (2000), optimism is an inherent part of human nature that has made the growth of civilization possible, and so all contemporary cultures should possess a tendency to be generally optimistic.”
- Hope and climate change: the importance of hope for environmental engagement among young people (2012, background): “For a study on unrealistic optimism in an environmental context, see Pahl et al. (2005).”
- Perceptions of time in relation to climate change (2014, unknown): “It disappears when people are told pollution is the result of an accident, 60 which could be because of lack of perceived control under such circumstances.”
