Abstract

ABSTRACT This study explored strategies to help mitigate the effects of climate change among members of the Chinese public by broadening the extended parallel process model (EPPM) to the personal and collective levels. A 2 × 2 × 2 factorial experiment was designed to examine the effects of threat (personal vs. societal), efficacy (personal vs. collective), and climate change beliefs (high vs. low) on participants’ personal intention to help mitigate the effects of climate change. A total of 421 Chinese citizens participated in this experimental study. The results reveal significant main effects of threat, efficacy, and climate change beliefs on personal mitigation intentions. Moreover, individuals who perceived high personal threat and high collective efficacy toward climate change reported the highest intention to take personal actions to mitigate the effects of climate change, regardless of the participants’ levels of climate change beliefs.

促进行为对减缓气候变化影响的影响:基于中国个人和集体层面的扩展平行过程模型

本研究通过将扩展平行过程模型(epppm)扩展到个人和集体层面，探讨了缓解气候变化对中国公众影响的策略。设计了一个2 × 2 × 2的因子实验，以检验威胁(个人vs社会)、效力(个人vs集体)和气候变化信念(高vs低)对参与者帮助减轻气候变化影响的个人意愿的影响。共有421名中国公民参与了本实验研究。结果显示，威胁、效力和气候变化信念对个人减缓意图有显著的主要影响。此外，无论参与者的气候变化信念水平如何，对气候变化感到高个人威胁和高集体效能的个体报告了采取个人行动减轻气候变化影响的最高意愿。

期刊介绍： Environmental Communication is an international, peer-reviewed forum for multidisciplinary research and analysis assessing the many intersections among communication, media, society, and environmental issues. These include but are not limited to debates over climate change, natural resources, sustainability, conservation, wildlife, ecosystems, water, environmental health, food and agriculture, energy, and emerging technologies. Submissions should contribute to our understanding of scientific controversies, political developments, policy solutions, institutional change, cultural trends, media portrayals, public opinion and participation, and/or professional decisions. Articles often seek to bridge gaps between theory and practice, and are written in a style that is broadly accessible and engaging.
