Promoting attitude change and expressed willingness to take action toward climate change in college students (2012, background): “In addition to conceptual challenges, there are specific misconceptions that may lead thinking astray on the issue of global climate change, such as the distinction between weather and climate ( Lombardi and Sinatra 2010 ).”
Addressing Challenges to Public Understanding of Science: Epistemic Cognition, Motivated Reasoning, and Conceptual Change (2014, background): “Lombardi and Sinatra (2012) found that epistemic motives were related to judgments about the plausibility of human-induced climate change.”
Plausibility Judgments in Conceptual Change and Epistemic Cognition (2016, background): “As an example, one consistent challenge for promoting climate change understanding is that individuals often do not find it plausible that humans can impact the climate (Lombardi & Sinatra, 2012).”
Plausibility reappraisals and shifts in middle school students' climate change conceptions (2013, background): “Lombardi and Sinatra (2012) speculated that if the students had engaged in critical evaluation, their plausibility perceptions about human-induced climate change may have increased, with a subsequently potential greater reduction in their alternative conceptions about the distinctions between…”
Emotions about Teaching about Human-Induced Climate Change (2013, methodology): “We did not measure conceptual change in the present study (i.e. we only measured variables prior to any instructional intervention or professional development), but prior research has indicated a relationship between plausibility perceptions and conceptual change (Lombardi & Sinatra, 2012).”
