- Climate Change and Society: The Chimera of Behaviour Change Technologies (2012, background): “Only 8 percent of survey respondents, for example, regard households as responsible for change (Pidgeon et al., 2008), and there is a common”
- Science Literacy or Value Predisposition? A Meta-Analysis of Factors Predicting Public Perceptions of Benefits, Risks, and Acceptance of Nuclear Energy (2019, background): “Pidgeon, Lorenzoni, and Poortinga (2008) showed that framing nuclear energy in terms of energy security instead of climate change mitigation had a larger impact on public acceptance of nuclear technology.”
- Understanding attitudes toward energy security: Results of a cross-national survey (2013, background): “The literature suggests that socio-demographic characteristics have a strong impact on vulnerability (Pidgeon et al., 2008).”
- Risk perception, trust and public engagement in nuclear decision-making in Hong Kong (2014, background): “People tend to express only a “reluctant acceptance” of nuclear energy as a “solution” to climate change, indicating that difficult trade-offs have to be made by the public when considering choices relating to nuclear energy (Pidgeon et al., 2008).”
- Nuclear power, climate change and energy security: Exploring British public attitudes (2011, background): “addressing the greater threat of climate change (Bickerstaff et al., 2008; Pidgeon et al., 2008; Teravainen et al., 2011).”
- Public understanding of, and attitudes to, climate change: UK and international perspectives and policy (2012, background): “…the public acceptability of single technologies such as renewable energy (Bell et al., 2005; Devine-Wright, 2011) and nuclear power (Rosa and Clarke, 1999; Pidgeon et al., 2008; Parkhill et al., 2010), and insights into individual behaviour-change options (Dietz et al., 2009, Upham et al., 2009).”
- Contextual and psychological factors shaping evaluations and acceptability of energy alternatives: Integrated review and research agenda (2014, methodology): “However, the experimental framing condition included a statement about both pros and cons of nuclear energy for mitigating climate change (while the control condition had no such statements), which could have balanced out the positive and the negative effects of this framing on acceptability [42].”
