摘要

我们报告了对全球变暖态度(GW)的相关研究。我们建立在先前关于人口变量、个性和政治取向在预测GW态度中的作用的研究基础上。我们认为,性格乐观可以通过影响积极应对行为和减少面对焦虑的认知回避来提高认真对待GW的意愿,并且乐观与政治取向之间应该存在互动效应。我们利用成人受访者的现有数据集(N = 819)。本文采用相关回归分析的方法,考察了人口统计学变量、人格特质、乐观主义、政治倾向与大学生政治态度之间的关系。我们使用缓和回归来检验政治倾向和乐观主义对GW态度的交互作用。我们发现(更右翼的)政治倾向与政治倾向态度之间存在显著的负相关关系,而教育程度与政治倾向态度之间存在正相关关系。我们发现了人格效应,其中最强的是竞争力与GW态度之间的负相关。正如假设的那样,我们发现乐观主义与GW态度呈正相关,并且这种关联在更右翼的政治倾向中更强。我们得出结论,对不同群体进行气候变化沟通的方法的有效性。我们考虑了研究的局限性和对未来研究的启示。

Who's Interested in Global Warming?

We report on a study of the correlates of attitude to global warming (GW). We build on prior research on the role of demographic variables, personality, and political orientation in predicting attitude to GW. We argue dispositional optimism should increase willingness to treat GW seriously, via its impact on active coping behaviors and reducing cognitive avoidance in the face of anxiety, and that there should be an interactive effect of optimism with political orientation. We draw on an existing data set (N = 819) of adult respondents. We use correlation and regression analysis to examine the association between demographic variables, personality traits, optimism, political orientation and GW attitude. We use moderated regression to test for an interactive effect between political orientation and optimism on GW attitude. We find a significant inverse association between (more right-wing) political orientation and GW attitude, and a positive association between education and GW attitude. We find personality effects, the strongest of which is an inverse association between Competitiveness and GW attitude. As hypothesized, we find that optimism is positively associated with GW attitude and that this association is stronger for more right-wing political orientation. We draw conclusions for the efficacy of approaches to communicating about climate change to different groups. We consider limitations of the research and implications for future research.
