Perceptions and responses to climate policy risks among California farmers (2013, background): “This can achieve a win-win situation where farmers can achieve environmental benchmarks with appropriate resources and time to enable effective adoption (Semenza et al., 2008).”
Exploring people's viewpoints on air travel and climate change: understanding inconsistencies (2013, background): “These arguments are also reflected in general barriers which people perceive to engage with climate change and climate change mitigation strategies (Lorenzoni, Nicholson-Cole, & Whitmarsh, 2007; Semenza et al., 2008; Stoll-Kleemann, O’Riordan, & Jaeger, 2001).”
Determinants and Measurement of Climate Change Risk Perception, Worry, and Concern (2017, background): “…risk perception, broad intentions to address climate change, and self-reported policy support (e.g., see also Dietz, Dan, & Shwom, 2007; Ding et al., 2011; Heath & Gifford, 2006; Hidalgo & Pisano, 2010; McCright et al., 2013; Semenza et al., 2008; van der Linden et al., 2015; Zahran et al., 2006).”
Predicting climate change risk perception and willingness to act (2019, background): “For example, a commonly-cited reason for not adopting better climate change-related behaviours is the belief that changing one's own behaviour will not make a difference (e.g., Fielding & Head, 2012; Semenza et al., 2008).”
Farmer’s intended and actual adoption of climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies (2016, background): “Indeed, many existing studies have concluded that increasing information about climate change and its risks may help people better understand the issue and thereby influence their intention to change their behavior (Semenza et al. 2008; Lorenzoni et al. 2007).”
The Socio-Demographic and Psychological Predictors of Residential Energy Consumption: A Comprehensive Review (2015, background): “Education  Some studies have reported significant effects of education on pro-environmental behavior and/or energy usage [7,46,63].”
Effect of outdoor temperature, heat primes and anchoring on belief in global warming (2010, background): “Although previous research has found that perceptions of changes in weather are associated with belief in global warming (Krosnick et al., 2006; Semenza et al., 2008), little research has directly investigated whether actual outdoor temperature serves as a heuristic that is associated with belief in”
Applying the Theory of Planned Behavior and Media Dependency Theory: Predictors of Public Pro-environmental Behavioral Intentions in Singapore (2015, background): “…2006), existing studies have focused narrowly on the role of knowledge in public pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) and have not considered other factors that may influence behaviors, such as subjective norms, mass media use, interpersonal communication, and media dependency (Semenza et al., 2008).”
Decarbonizing urban transport in European cities: four cases show possibly high co-benefits (2012, background): “The scale of this ambition and the nature of the transport system imply high impact on behavioral change of urban inhabitants (Semenza et al 2008).”
Middle and high school students’ conceptions of climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies (2015, background): “Similarly, other studies have shown that individuals with high levels of environmental system knowledge may not enact pro-environmental behaviors if they lack a certain threshold of action knowledge (Aitken, Chapman, and McClure 2011; Semenza et al. 2008).”
