Framing climate change for effective communication: a systematic map (2020, result): “Early studies explored the differences between climate change impact frames in positive versus negative terms (Morton et al 2011), not dissimilar to the seminal framing study by Tversky and Kahneman (1981) which explored consequences of different framings of risk.”
Adaptive capacity: exploring the research frontier (2017, background): “Some studies demonstrate that previous experience of a hazard increases people’s preparations; other research suggests that experience decreases preparations; and one study finds no correlation between experience and preparedness.(82) Mortreux and Barnett find an association between length of time s”
The Effects of Uncertainty Frames in Three Science Communication Topics (2019, methodology): “…conceptualizations and operationalizations used in prior diverse research are often just termed general “uncertainty” (e.g., Cabantous et al., 2011; Dieckmann, Gregory, Peters, & Hartman, 2017; Johnson & Nakayachi, 2017; Johnson & Slovic, 1998; Morton et al., 2011; Rabinovich & Morton, 2012).”
Are consumers willing to switch to smart time of use electricity tariffs? The importance of loss-aversion and electric vehicle ownership (2017, background): “Although the total number of hits varies depending on different synonyms used, the ratio of hits for energy demand reduction compared to demand side response is”

Investigating the Long-Term Impacts of Climate Change Communications on Individuals’ Attitudes and Behavior (2014, methodology): “Student samples are frequently used, as in the study on the impact of The Day After Tomorrow by Nolan (2010), but these are also not representative in terms of age, background, education, or income. A really robust study would recruit a representative random sample from the general population, but t”
