Gender and ideological orientation moderate the influence of climate misinformation on pro-environmental behavioural intentions
Climate change is a significant and urgent challenge faced by humanity, yet the widespread dissemination of misinformation hampers progress in combating it. While previous research shows that false information about the scientific consensus on climate change can shape beliefs and attitudes, its effect on behavioural intentions remains less understood. To examine this, two experiments in Spain (n = 673) and Ecuador (n = 365) tested the impact of denialist versus confirmatory or neutral messages about the scientific consensus on anthropogenic climate change on the intention to take pro-environmental actions. Moreover, we explored the moderating roles of gender and ideological orientation, which are key factors in climate scepticism. In both countries, right-wing men who received consensus-denying messages showed fewer intentions to perform pro-environmental behaviours compared to those who received consensus-confirming messages. Consensus misinformation did not appear to have a consistent impact on women across ideological lines or on left-wing men. These findings highlight the urgent need to develop communication interventions targeted at specific demographic subgroups to counteract climate misinformation and promote pro-environmental actions.
期刊介绍：
The British Journal of Social Psychology publishes work from scholars based in all parts of the world, and manuscripts that present data on a wide range of populations inside and outside the UK. It publishes original papers in all areas of social psychology including: • social cognition • attitudes • group processes • social influence • intergroup relations • self and identity • nonverbal communication • social psychological aspects of personality, affect and emotion • language and discourse Submissions addressing these topics from a variety of approaches and methods, both quantitative and qualitative are welcomed. We publish papers of the following kinds: • empirical papers that address theoretical issues; • theoretical papers, including analyses of existing social psychological theories and presentations of theoretical innovations, extensions, or integrations; • review papers that provide an evaluation of work within a given area of social psychology and that present proposals for further research in that area; • methodological papers concerning issues that are particularly relevant to a wide range of social psychologists; • an invited agenda article as the first article in the first part of every volume. The editorial team aims to handle papers as efficiently as possible. In 2016, papers were triaged within less than a week, and the average turnaround time from receipt of the manuscript to first decision sent back to the authors was 47 days.
