Making international and national climate policy work at the local level
- 2007
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- International agreements such as the Kyoto Protocol, EU regulatory and country-specific national climate policies offer some hope of addressing climate change. But all too often implementation of these high level objectives is derailed at the sub-national, local and, perhaps most important, individual level, by a variety of structural, policy and perceived barriers that result in a failure of effective action. Drawing on original research from Sweden, this volume examines the difficulties of aligning climate policy from international to national and sub-national levels. The authors address the full range of barriers and complexities, including governance structures, the relationships between ‘experts’ and the public, political feasibility, tax measures, perceptions of fairness and self-interest, and the importance of environmental values. Also covered are the roles and perceptions of organizations and professions, the place of carbon-free technologies, the relationship between national and EU regulations, and the monumental challenge of governing the climate in a broader and divided world.

New Issues and Paradigms in Research on Social Dilemmas
- 2008
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The objective of this edited volume is to present the latest developments in the field of social dilemma research. Research on social dilemmas, defined as situations where there is a conflict between self-interest and collective interest, has during the last twenty years gained increased research interest from several disciplines such as psychology, sociology, and economics. The social dilemma research field has wide applications to numerous real-world issues such as environmental degradation brought on by human behavior, cooperative behavior in organizations, as well as willingness to contribute to societal public goods. The main aim has been to investigate under what circumstances people make decisions that are in line with the collective interest as well as investigating how different types of tools can increase the propensity to cooperate.

Acceptance of climate change policy measures: role framing and value guidance
- 2008
-
Ingår i: European Environment. ; 18:4, s. 203-215
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The study investigates determinants of attitudes towards environmental policy measures among decision makers in private companies responsible for large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. Acceptance of climate change policy measures was investigated using a questionnaire sent to a sample of decision makers in the private sector addressed as private citizens. The results showed that acceptance could be predicted by environmental values mediated by personal norms. The results are in line with earlier findings on public support for environmental policy measures. The motives for acceptance differed however from previous findings concerning decision makers in their professional role.

Feeling the green? Value orientation as a moderator of emotional response to green electricity
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Journal of Applied Social Psychology. - : Wiley. - 0021-9029. ; 44:10, s. 672-680
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Framing effects on emotional responses in a green electricity choice are investigated in a survey of a random sample of 655 Swedish residents. The results show that overall more positive and less negative emotions are experienced for a promotion frame ("choosing green electricity and paying more") than for a prevention frame ("not choosing green electricity and paying less"). Value orientation is shown to moderate the framing effect in that for the promotion frame, individuals with a self-transcendence value orientation show the most positive and least negative emotion, whereas for the prevention frame, individuals with a self-enhancement value orientation show the most positive and least negative emotion. Emotional responses are further shown to mediate the relationship between value orientation and intention to purchase eco-labeled electricity.

The Role of Values and Value Activation in Determining
- 2007
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Two studies examined the role of values in behavioural reactions to environmental policy measures. Respondents were 118 undergraduate students. The first study was aimed at testing a new measure of value activation. Ostensibly participating in a study concerning semantic memory, participants were presented with a list of value words to remember. They were then asked to fill in an impression formation test. As expected, the value words significantly influenced the results on the test for two out of three values. The second study investigates the role of values in reactions to policy measures in a social dilemma game, firstly by measuring basic value priorities, and secondly by measuring how policy measures activate values in the situation. The results showed no support for the impact of values on behaviour in the social dilemma game.

Willingness to accept climate change strategies: The effect of values and norms
- 2004
-
Ingår i: Journal of Environmental Psychology. ; :24, s. 267-277
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The present study examined how values, organizational goals and norms influence willingness to accept climate change policy measures within organizations. Respondents were 356 decision makers within the public and private sectors in a metropolitan area of Sweden. Regression models were estimated to investigate the mediating effect of norms on the relationship between values and support of policy measures aimed at reducing green house gas emissions. The results showed that for decision makers in the public sector, but not in the private sector, environmental values were important determinants of willingness to accept climate change policy measures. As hypothesized, these effects were mediated by norms. Together these findings corroborate earlier research on public support for environmental movement
