Environmental psychology matters. (2014, background): “In terms of political, economic, and technological values, individuals who value free-market principles, view technology as the solution to environmental problems, and believe that economics is the best measure of progress tend to have less environmental concern (Heath & Gifford 2006).”
Psychology and Global Climate Change: Addressing a Multi-faceted Phenomenon and Set of Challenges A Report by the American Psychological Association's Task Force on the Interface Between Psychology and Global Climate Change Members (2009, background): “There has been little psychological research on how consumerism and related cultural belief systems influence environmental consumption (see Heath & Gifford, 2006, for an exception).”
Positive and negative spillover of pro-environmental behavior: An integrative review and theoretical framework (2014, background): “Nevertheless, PEBs directed at the collective good also may suffer from the single action bias, as risk perceptions and efficacy beliefs are related to intentions to engage in actions to mitigate climate change (Heath and Gifford, 2006; Leiserowitz, 2006; Lubell, 2002).”
Personal and social factors that influence pro-environmental concern and behaviour: a review. (2014, background): “Valuing free-market principles, believing that technology will solve environmental problems, and that economics is the best measure of progress are associated with less environmental concern among various samples (Heath & Gifford, 2006; Kilbourne, Beckmann, & Thelen, 2002).”
Why Have the Leading Journals in Management (and Other Social Sciences) Failed to Respond to Climate Change? (2008, unknown): “For example, those who express greater skepticism about the anthropomorphic, or human, contribution towards the changing climate are disproportionately right-leaning (Heath & Gifford 2006).”
The Role of Conspiracist Ideation and Worldviews in Predicting Rejection of Science (2013, methodology): “The potential predictor constructs were all based on established instruments that have been repeatedly used in previous research: free-market endorsement was measured by 5 items [4]; conservatism-liberalism by 7 items [59]; and conspiracist ideation by 6 items drawn from previous research [27,45].”
Socio-Structural and Psychological Foundations of Climate Change Beliefs (2015, background): “At the same time, and in line with previous findings (Heath & Gifford, 2006), it is likely that individuals might differ in particular climate change beliefs and that the socio-structural and psychological foundations underpinning these distinct beliefs might also differ.”
Education for sustainable development beyond attitude change (2009, background): ““People who believe ... that the problem of environmental change is a fiction are unlikely to be motivated to act in environmentally beneficial ways, at least if doing so is at all inconvenient.” (Nickerson, 2003, p. 88; see also Heath and Gifford, 2006 ).”
Climate change and meat eating: An inconvenient couple? (2013, methodology): “The work of Heath and Gifford (2006) provides support for this notion.”
Neutralizing misinformation through inoculation: Exposing misleading argumentation techniques reduces their influence (2017, methodology): “Free-market support was used as a proxy for political ideology, given the strong relationship between free-market support and climate attitudes [15].”
