Carbon labelling of grocery products: public perceptions and potential emissions reductions (2011, background): “Health, security and social issues consistently feature higher in the UK public’s concerns than environmental issues (MORI, 2005; Poortinga and Pidgeon, 2003; Bord et al., 2000; DEFRA, 2002b).”
Determinants and Measurement of Climate Change Risk Perception, Worry, and Concern (2017, background): “Although this distinction has been implicitly acknowledged (Bord et al., 2000; Leiserowitz, 2005; Sjöberg, 2012), it has received scant attention in the literature.”
The social-psychological determinants of climate change risk perceptions: Towards a comprehensive model (2015, methodology): “…change can be viewed empirically as a two-dimensional construct, and more importantly, whether societal and personal risk perceptions have different psychological antecedents - which could have important implications for risk communication (Bord et al., 2000; Leiserowitz, 2005; Sj€oberg, 2012).”
Dynamics of environmental consciousness and green purchase behaviour: an empirical study (2017, background): “There is a rich body of literature on low-carbon emission (Bord et al., 2000; Renukappa et al., 2013; Jones, 2014; Li and Lin, 2016; Du et al., 2016), green manufacturing (Montalvo, 2008; Deif, 2011; Singh et al., 2012; Bhattacharya et al., 2015), sustainability strategies (Law and Gunasekaran,…”
Human Responses to Climate Change: Social Representation, Identity and Socio-psychological Action (2014, background): “Behaviour change which interferes with one’s daily life convenience is likely to be construed as particularly threatening (Bord et al., 2000).”
Promoting household energy conservation (2008, background): “In general, people are well aware of the problems related to household energy use, and are concerned about these problems (Abrahamse, 2007), although there is still confusion about the causal processes involved (e.g. Bord et al., 2000).”
Effects of a 1-day environmental education intervention on environmental attitudes and connectedness with nature (2013, background): “As global climate change is a very complex phenomenon and vast information is omnipresent in our media, people of all age groups often feel uncertainty about this topic (Bord et al. 2000; Fortner et al. 2000).”
Framing responsibility in climate change discourse: Ethnocentric attribution bias, perceived causes, and policy attitudes (2013, background): “Science communication scholars have urged that a correct understanding of the cause of climate change is the key to success in promoting climate change mitigating behavior (Bord et al., 2000; Ferguson & Branscombe; 2010; Morgan, Fischhoff, Bostrom, & Atman; 2002).”
The effect of perceived and assessed knowledge of climate change on public policy concerns: An empirical comparison (2014, methodology): “However, as Bord et al. (2000) recognized, there is a strong correlation between knowledge defined this way and the perceived effects of CC. Malka et al. noted that this suggests that ‘knowing more about the causes of global warming seems to be associated with perceiving that global warming will…”
