摘要

生物多样性危机正威胁着地球上许多物种的生存。分类学上的偏见加剧了这种状况,分类学上与人类更接近的物种获得了最多的资助和关注。目前的研究通过社会相似性方法探讨了物种参与--我们与其他物种的联系感和对其他物种的关注。我们区分了影响对其他动物的看法、态度和行为的两个因素:自下而上的视觉线索(物理相似性)和自上而下的关于动物能力的信念(心理相似性)。结合相关研究(研究 1:N = 33 和研究 2:N = 564)和实验方法(研究 3:N = 330),我们调查了这两个因素对物种参与的相对重要性--可操作化为自我-他者重叠、道德关怀和保护支持。研究 1 和研究 2 表明,心理相似性对感知重叠、道德关怀和保护支持的影响是物理相似性的五倍。研究 3 大致重复了这些发现,心理相似性和身体相似性都会影响感知到的重叠和道德关怀。然而,研究发现只有物理相似性会影响保护支持。本文讨论了可能的解释。研究结果证明了社会相似性方法对保护心理学的有用性,并为自然保护的沟通提供了一个新的视角。

It's what on the inside that counts: Addressing the biodiversity crisis by emphasizing species' inner mental lives

The biodiversity crisis is threatening the survival of many species on our planet. This is exacerbated by the taxonomic bias, with species taxonomically closer to humans receiving most funding and attention. The current research explores species engagement – our sense of connection to and concern for other species – through a social similarity approach. We distinguish between two factors influencing perceptions, attitudes and behavior regarding other animals: bottom-up visual cues (physical similarity) and top-down beliefs about animals’ capacities (mental similarity). Combining a correlational (Studies 1: N = 33 and 2: N = 564) and an experimental approach (Study 3: N = 330), we investigated the relative importance of these two factors for species engagement – operationalized as self-other overlap, moral concern, and conservation support. Study 1 and 2 reveal that mental similarity has up to five times the impact of physical similarity on perceived overlap, moral concern, and conservation support. Study 3 broadly replicates these findings, with both mental and physical similarity affecting perceived overlap and moral concern. However, only physical similarity was found to affect conservation support. Potential explanations are discussed. Findings demonstrate the usefulness of a social similarity approach to conservation psychology and offer a novel perspective for communications around nature conservation.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Environmental Psychology is the premier journal in the field, serving individuals in a wide range of disciplines who have an interest in the scientific study of the transactions and interrelationships between people and their surroundings (including built, social, natural and virtual environments, the use and abuse of nature and natural resources, and sustainability-related behavior). The journal publishes internationally contributed empirical studies and reviews of research on these topics that advance new insights. As an important forum for the field, the journal publishes some of the most influential papers in the discipline that reflect the scientific development of environmental psychology. Contributions on theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects of all human-environment interactions are welcome, along with innovative or interdisciplinary approaches that have a psychological emphasis. Research areas include: •Psychological and behavioral aspects of people and nature •Cognitive mapping, spatial cognition and wayfinding •Ecological consequences of human actions •Theories of place, place attachment, and place identity •Environmental risks and hazards: perception, behavior, and management •Perception and evaluation of buildings and natural landscapes •Effects of physical and natural settings on human cognition and health •Theories of proenvironmental behavior, norms, attitudes, and personality •Psychology of sustainability and climate change •Psychological aspects of resource management and crises •Social use of space: crowding, privacy, territoriality, personal space •Design of, and experiences related to, the physical aspects of workplaces, schools, residences, public buildings and public space
