However, current research lacks consensus on how to effectively cultivate it in individuals, particularly with media messages. To address this gap, this study investigated how the modality of nature experiences and type of nature influence connectedness to nature in young adults. Data collection involved 164 undergraduate students at a Singapore university who participated in a 2 (modality: physical tour vs video tour) × 2 (nature type: forested area vs botanic garden) factorial experiment. Results showed that nature type did not affect connectedness to nature, nor did fear or disgust mediate that linkage. However, connectedness to nature was higher among participants who took the physical tour than among those who watched the video tour. This effect is consistent with past research and suggests that mediated experiences of nature diminish the richness of sensory experience. It reaffirms the importance of directly experiencing nature as a part of environmental communication and education to promote environmental stewardship.KEYWORDS: Connectedness to naturenature toursmediated experiencenegative emotionenvironmental education Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information.","PeriodicalId":54205,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Communication-A Journal of Nature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135813898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from the 2022 Yale Meta survey of 108,946 Facebook monthly active users from 110 countries and territories, the current research finds that perceived awareness is associated with perceived personal and future risks but not protest participation intention. Only perceived personal harm was associated with protest intention. People in countries most exposed to climate-related impacts were more likely to show heightened perceptions of harm to self and future generations. An analysis of a subset of countries (n = 52) where media coverage data was externally available for 2015–2022 indicates that media coverage is positively associated with self-reported exposure to climate change and perceived awareness about the issue. However, media coverage is not related to perceived personal or future risks and is negatively associated with protest participation intent across countries. Despite low media coverage of climate change, citizens in poor and developing countries see climate change as a greater risk and are more willing to participate in protests compared to citizens in developed countries. Findings help clarify theoretical and practical implications for climate change communication research.KEYWORDS: International public opinionmedia coveragerisk perceptionsclimate changeGlobal South Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":54205,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Communication-A Journal of Nature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136381332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We define greenwashing as the perception of a discrepancy between what an organization claims to do in terms of protecting the environment and what the organization actually does in this respect. In two experiments, we vary a company’s promises of green engagement. Afterward, participants are confronted with the company’s actual green engagement. The studies show that if a company claims to be green, its reputation and credibility are assessed more positively. However, the experiments also demonstrate that false green promises backfire: If the green promises are not kept, participants assess the company’s reputation and credibility more negatively as opposed to a group that evaluates a company without any false promises. Furthermore, both experiments provide insight into the underlying mechanisms responsible for these effects: Participants’ expectations are violated which leads to a perception of greenwashing and, in turn, worsens the perception of the company’s reputation and credibility.KEYWORDS: Greenwashingcorporate social responsibilityreputationcredibilityexperiments Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":54205,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Communication-A Journal of Nature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135855377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As anthropogenic pressures increasingly reshape coastal ecosystems, efforts to understand how problems and solutions are framed in public discourse are timely and valuable. We present a case study of media coverage and framing of development and the environment in Florida, USA, where coastal development and attendant consequences have been emergent for decades (n = 645). Findings explore how drivers of environmental change and the effects of environmental changes are discussed, what potential solutions are considered, and how actors and trade-offs are characterized. We identify two parallel but discrete narratives: one offering disjointed episodic coverage of particular development projects, and one providing larger-scale contextualized discussion of development and the environment more broadly. We discuss the implications for policy and collective action of the disconnect between these two narratives.KEYWORDS: Content analysismediaframingcoastaldevelopment Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementData sharing not applicable – no new data generated.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Pierce Family Foundation and the Greenacres Foundation.","PeriodicalId":54205,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Communication-A Journal of Nature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135745383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our framework helps facilitate discussions about extreme weather events, with the goal of channeling dialogue into actions to address extreme weather-related risks at both individual and policy levels. An important nuance is delineating how climate change can exacerbate hazards, while vulnerability and exposure ultimately determine the impacts of hazards. We account for this distinction by centering our framework around the broader goal of reducing weather-related risks in diverse contexts including, but not limited to, climate change considerations. This article describes our proposed communication approach; we conclude by outlining a research agenda to empirically test the framework and examine other dynamics of extreme weather-related dialogue.","PeriodicalId":54205,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Communication-A Journal of Nature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135828503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To tackle this challenge, environmental scholars and professionals have employed Construal Level Theory (CLT) to reduce the psychological distance associated with climate change and foster a more immediate and tangible perception of its risks. This study presents a comprehensive review of empirical research conducted between 2010 and 2021 that examines climate change communication within the framework of CLT. The analysis encompasses 68 articles, and the review uncovers a significant research gap. While reducing psychological distance to climate change appears to enhance awareness and concern about the issue, it does not consistently translate into climate engagement, such as pro-environmental intentions or behaviors. The study explores potential explanations for this gap and suggests future research directions to address this issue effectively.KEYWORDS: Climate changepsychological distanceconstrual levelcommunicationreview Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 The entire list of the articles and their summaries is not included in this article due to its length, but it is available upon request.","PeriodicalId":54205,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Communication-A Journal of Nature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136155654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
