Public understanding of climate change in the United States. (2011, unknown): “…be effective if based on an understanding of the ways the intended audiences think about climate change and if developed through processes that engage the decision makers in developing working knowledge (Center for Research on Environmental Decisions, 2009; National Research Council, 1999, 2009).”
Uncertainty, scepticism and attitudes towards climate change: biased assimilation and attitude polarisation (2012, background): “The everyday meaning of uncertainty is negative, as it is commonly equated with ignorance (Shome & Marx, 2009).”
Exploring the essential psychological factors in fostering hope concerning climate change (2019, background): “The WLSMV is a robust estimator which does not assume normally distributed variables for modeling categorical or ordered data (Brown 2006).”
Perceptions of time in relation to climate change (2014, unknown): “72,73 Gattig and Hendrickx 74 suggest that negative outcomes are taken less seriously to the extent that these outcomes are characterized by high uncertainty, long delay and distant places, all of which are dimensions associated with psychological distance.”
