Abstract

Environmental governance occurs through and is shaped by communication. We propose a typology of public communication, classifying it by directionality (one-way or two-way) and objective (informational or operational). We then review how communication types influence individuals’ cognitive frames, values, and environmental behaviors. Though one-way communication is common, its impact is often limited to influencing cognitive frames. Research on two-way informational communication demonstrates a greater ability to align cognitive frames and values among individuals, and research on two-way operational communication demonstrates the greatest impact on conceptual frames, values, and environmental behaviors. Factors that affect the impact of communication include the medium through which it occurs, trust, timing, and social-material context. Among these, our review considers new directions in public communication research that focus on the role of digital platforms, misinformation, and disinformation. We conclude by synthesizing research on deliberative communication, a case of communication among citizens guided by democratic ideals.

环境治理的交流与审议

环境治理是通过传播进行的，也是由传播决定的。我们提出了一种公共传播类型学，根据传播的方向性（单向或双向）和目标性（信息性或操作性）对其进行分类。然后，我们回顾了传播类型如何影响个人的认知框架、价值观和环境行为。虽然单向传播很常见，但其影响往往仅限于影响认知框架。关于双向信息交流的研究表明，双向信息交流更有能力调整个人的认知框架和价值观，而关于双向操作交流的研究表明，双向信息交流对概念框架、价值观和环境行为的影响最大。影响传播影响的因素包括传播媒介、信任、时机和社会物质环境。其中，我们的综述考虑了公共传播研究的新方向，即关注数字平台、错误信息和虚假信息的作用。最后，我们总结了有关商议式传播的研究，商议式传播是公民在民主理想指导下进行传播的一个案例。

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Environment and Resources, established in 1976, offers authoritative reviews on key environmental science and engineering topics. It covers various subjects, including ecology, conservation science, water and energy resources, atmosphere, oceans, climate change, agriculture, living resources, and the human dimensions of resource use and global change. The journal's recent transition from gated to open access through Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program, with all articles published under a CC BY license, enhances the dissemination of knowledge in the field.
