How social norms are often a barrier to addressing climate change but can be part of the solution (2020, background): “Beyond policy support, social norms have been shown to impact whether citizens are likely to engage in political action on climate change, such as contacting government officials, voting for ‘green’ candidates and protesting (Doherty & Webler, 2016).”
Climate of hope or doom and gloom? Testing the climate change hope vs. fear communications debate through online videos (2021, background): “The subject becomes even more complex when considering the role of efficacy information, meaning the engagement of audiences in actions that can be taken to reduce or respond to a threat (Feldman and Hart 2015; Doherty and Webler 2016; Xue et al. 2016).”
Determinants and Measurement of Climate Change Risk Perception, Worry, and Concern (2017, background): “Although norms are generally studied in relation to behavior (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004; Doherty & Webler, 2016), they influence perceptions too.”
My Influence on the World (of Others): Goal Efficacy Beliefs and Efficacy Affect Predict Private, Public, and Activist Pro‐environmental Behavior (2020, background): “First, for private, activist, and indirect PEB, our results strongly support research in favor of self-efficacy (e.g., Doherty & Webler, 2016; Lee et al., 2014).”
The Greta Thunberg Effect: Familiarity with Greta Thunberg predicts intentions to engage in climate activism in the United States (2021, unknown): “Similarly, a study conducted on Americans who reported being “alarmed” about climate change showed that collective efficacy beliefs predicted their likelihood of engaging in important collective actions such as voting and volunteering for pro-climate initiatives (Doherty & Webler, 2016).”
