Judgmental Discounting and Environmental Risk Perception: Dimensional Similarities, Domain Differences, and Implications for Sustainability (2007, background): “…do not differ in the importance of emotions, but in the nature of the emotions on which the risk judgment is based: loss-related concerns may elicit emotions like fear or sadness, whereas ethical concerns may give rise to emotions like anger or guilt (Böhm, 2003; Böhm & Pfister, 2000, 2005).”
Bringing appraisal theory to environmental risk perception: a review of conceptual approaches of the past 40 years and suggestions for future research (2012, background): “2005 ), some of which do so within the framework of appraisal theory (Bohm 2003 ; Bohm and Pfister 2000 , 2005 ; Dohle, Keller, and Siegrist forthcoming ; Peters, Burraston, and Mertz 2004 ).”
The multiplicity of emotions: A framework of emotional functions in decision making (2008, background): “Behavior such as altruistic punishment or long-term environmentally protective choices is best explained by the particular emotions involved ( Bohm & Pfister, 2000, 2005; Gintis et al., 2005).”
Personal experience and the ‘psychological distance’ of climate change: An integrative review (2015, background): “But others, for example B€ohm and Pfister (2005), have only found weak evidence for temporal discounting in (non-climate change-related) environmental risk scenarios (e.g., oil leaking into the sea) (see also Hendrickx & Nicolaij, 2004).”
Perceptions of time in relation to climate change (2014, unknown): “However, other evidence suggests that temporal discounting does not necessarily apply to environmental risks 76 (see also Ref 75) and that future outcomes are viewed as more risky.”
