Public perception of climate change : the importance of knowledge and cultural worldviews / Jing Shi, Vivianne H. M. Visschers, Michael Siegrist
Sumario: The main goal of this study was to examine the impact of climate-change-relevant knowledge on climate change concerns when controlling for cultural worldviews. More precisely, we expected physical knowledge, knowledge about the causes, and knowledge about the consequences of climate change to positively influence public concern about climate change, while we did not expect actionrelated knowledgeabout climate-friendly consumer behaviorto have an effect on climate change concern. The reason we did not expect that actionrelated knowledge would influence concern about climate change is because people first need to have high level of concern about climate change before they will learn more about action-related knowledge
