Targeting human fear of large carnivores — Many ideas but few known effects (2016, background): “…in self-reported fear, these studies suggest that education (through information campaigns) and experience of the animal species (through exposure activities) would reduce fear of large carnivores among the public (Røskaft et al., 2003; Prokop and Fancovicová, 2010; Johansson and Karlsson, 2011).”
Ultimate and proximate mechanisms underlying the occurrence of bears close to human settlements: review and management implications (2014, unknown): “Despite generally positive attitudes towards LCs in the western world, many people are afraid of LCs (Johansson & Karlsson 2011) and expect them to avoid settlements (defined as inhabited single houses, villages or towns).”
More than fear: role of emotions in acceptability of lethal control of wolves (2014, background): “Perceived danger and perceived uncontrollability of one’s own reactions when encountering a species were positively associated with fear toward wolves among a small sample of Swedish stakeholders (Johansson and Karlsson 2011).”
Factors Governing Human Fear of Brown Bear and Wolf (2012, methodology): “The negative correlation between CVM and social trust might be founded in a discrepancy between the respondents’ view of carnivores and how they should be managed, and their view of officials and the management strategies (largely focusing upon species protection) actually implemented by the authori”
Determining Where the Wild Things will be: Using Psychological Theory to Find Tolerance for Large Carnivores (2014, background): “Similarly, Johansson and Karlsson recently found that fear of bears and wolves (which is driven by negative affective tags associated with predatory wildlife) was positively associated with the perceived danger and uncontrollability of wildlife encounters (Johansson & Karlsson 2011).”
Toward a Mental Systems Approach to Human Relationships with Wildlife: The Role of Emotional Dispositions (2012, background): “Similar to the suggestions of others (Jacobs, 2009; Johansson & Karlsson, 2011; Manfredo, 2008), we propose that the inclusion of emotions in predictive models will enhance our understanding of human–wildlife relationships.”
