From values to climate action
Open accessAbstract
To mitigate anthropogenic climate change, it is important to know what motivates individuals to support and take climate action. Values reflect universal, general, desirable goals which guide individuals' preferences and actions. Stronger biospheric values (caring about the environment), in particular, predict stronger engagement in climate action. Although many individuals have strong biospheric values, contextual barriers can inhibit their climate actions. Notably, policies and contextual changes that reduce contextual barriers can motivate and enable individuals to act on their biospheric values. In addition, public participation may better engage public values in climate policies and actions as to increase their acceptability. Finally, correcting biases that others have weaker biospheric values than oneself may also motivate individuals to support and take climate action.

The perception that social group members would endorse eco-friendly values increases the likelihood of an individual adopting or sharing those values.
“Bouman et al. discuss how the perception that social group members would endorse eco-friendly values increases the likelihood of an individual adopting or sharing those values [51].”
From Climate Distress: A Review of Current Psychological Research and Practice (2023) · cites this paper as [51]
The Conclusion says people who perceive fellow group members to endorse biospheric values strongly are more likely to support and engage in climate action. The section “Perceptions of others’ values also matter” likewise says people are motivated to act consistently with perceived ingroup values. Neither passage says that this perception makes individuals more likely to adopt or share the values themselves. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
