“Proximising” climate change reconsidered: A construal level theory perspective (2016, methodology): “…participants considered climate change as a personally relevant risk, we asked them to judge the likelihood that four personal risks (e.g., “Certain effects of climate change will impair my health”) and five local risks (Dietz et al., 2007; Leiserowitz, 2006) would occur due to climate change.”
Environmental risk perception among race and ethnic groups in the United States (2016, background): “That is, though higher levels of educational attainment are positively associated with perceived environmental risks among liberals, the inverse tends to be true among those with extremely conservative views (Barr, 2007; Dietz et al., 2007; Hamilton, 2008).”
Valuing climate protection through willingness to pay for biomass ethanol (2009, methodology): “These findings are similar to those of Dietz et al. (2007), discussed earlier.”
Fostering changes in attitude, knowledge and behavior: demographic variation in environmental education effects (2018, background): “A large body of scholarship finds that environmental attitudes are significantly more positive in women compared to men (Dietz, Dan, and Shwom, 2007; Ergas and York 2012; Theodori and Luloff 2002; Xiao and McCright 2012).”
Public understanding of, and attitudes to, climate change: UK and international perspectives and policy (2012, background): “Dietz et al. (2007) have argued that while political affiliation is a strong predictor of policy support for climate measures in the US, it only has an indirect influence.”
Renewable Fuel Standard: Potential Economic and Environmental Effects of U.S. Biofuel Policy (2012, background): “public support for first-generation and second-generation biofuel development, which is often grounded in concerns about climate change (Dietz et al., 2007; Solomon and Johnson, 2009; Johnson et al., 2011).”
What explains public support for climate policies? A review of empirical and experimental studies (2016, background): “In a US study by Dietz et al. (2007), trust in environmental scientists and environmental organizations are positively and trust in industry negatively associated with greater policy support.”
