Climate change and the willingness to pay to reduce ecological and health risks from wastewater flooding in urban centers and the environment (2014, result): “Our result supports previous findings that liberal or left-oriented respondents are more supportive of policies towards environmental protection (Dunlap et al., 2001; Neumayer, 2004; Dupont and Bateman, 2012; Tobler et al., 2012).”
Positive and negative spillover of pro-environmental behavior: An integrative review and theoretical framework (2014, background): “…1999; Whitmarsh and O'Neill, 2010), suggesting that the likelihood of performing one behavior is positively related to the likelihood of performing other behaviors in that cluster, as well as correlations between clusters of PEBs and between PEBs and policy support (Tobler et al., 2012).”
Environmentally active people: the role of autonomy, relatedness, competence and self-determined motivation (2016, background): “…a wide variety of PEBs including public activism and citizenship behaviours (e.g. attending rallies, Stern 2000), and a range of private sphere resource conserving behaviours (e.g. electricity use minimization, buying secondhand clothes, eating less meat, Tobler, Visschers, and Siegrist 2012).”
What explains public support for climate policies? A review of empirical and experimental studies (2016, background): “perceived ‘climate benefits’ in explaining support for particular policies (Brouwer et al., 2008; Lam, 2014; Tobler et al., 2012).”
The social-psychological determinants of climate change risk perceptions: Towards a comprehensive model (2015, background): “These studies report a very different story, namely; that knowledge is in fact a significant and positive predictor of climate change risk perceptions (e.g., Hidalgo & Pisano, 2010; Milfont, 2012; O'Connor et al., 1999; Reser et al., 2012; Sundblad et al., 2007; Tobler et al., 2012a).”
The role of perceived effectiveness of policy measures in predicting recycling behaviour in Hong Kong (2014, background): “In the study by Tobler et al. (2012) on climate change, policy support was influenced by political affiliation, attitude of concern, and perceived costs and benefits.”
