Understanding the determinants of responsible agricultural spraying practices
Purpose As poor agricultural spray practices can result in inefficiency, product resistance and the occurrence of spray drift, we investigated the determinants (barriers and drivers) associated with responsible spray practice with emphasis on reducing spray drift.Design/Methodology/Approach We interviewed 30 key informants across the cotton, grain and horticulture industries and surveyed 180 growers to identify key spray behaviours and identify p…
Emotions, Perception of Mind, and Moral Concern
Human emotions toward animals, perception of animal minds, and moral concern play crucial roles in shaping public support for wildlife management initiatives. This study uses Moral Typecasting Theory to explore how these psychological factors influence attitudes toward controlling two non-native species, feral cats (Felis catus) and European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus), in the context of New Zealand’s Predator Free 2050 initiative. A sample o…
Addressing climate change with behavioral science
Effectively reducing climate change requires marked, global behavior change. However, it is unclear which strategies are most likely to motivate people to change their climate beliefs and behaviors. Here, we tested 11 expert-crowdsourced interventions on four climate mitigation outcomes: beliefs, policy support, information sharing intention, and an effortful tree-planting behavioral task. Across 59,440 participants from 63 countries, the interve…
Purchasing products with sustainable palm oil
Widespread tropical deforestation and biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia due to the oil palm industry can be addressed by encouraging consumers to purchase sustainable palm oil (SPO). An online experiment was conducted to assess whether addressing barriers relating to education, motivation and product availability would increase purchasing of SPO. Australian adults ( n = 628) were randomly assigned to either: (1) a newly developed interactive ed…
Australian Youth Mental Health and Climate Change Concern After the Black Summer Bushfires
Climate change and its effects present notable challenges for mental health, particularly for vulnerable populations, including young people. Immediately following the unprecedented Black Summer bushfire season of 2019/2020, 746 Australians (aged 16–25 years) completed measures of mental health and perceptions of climate change. Results indicated greater presentations of depression, anxiety, stress, adjustment disorder symptoms, substance abuse, …
Understanding why peri-urban residents do not report wild dog impacts
Peri-urban populations are diverse, with residents possessing a broad range of values, knowledge and skills related to managing invasive pests. In this article, we employed the COM-B behavior change model and audience segmentation analysis to identify the main barriers that prevent Gold Coast peri-urban residents from reporting wild dog impacts to local government. Participants (n = 383) responded to a random digit dial phone survey that assessed…

Prioritizing community behaviors to improve wild dog management in peri-urban areas
Wild dogs contribute to a range of negative impacts in Australian peri-urban regions. We identified and prioritized 13 behaviors that peri-urban residents could engage in to reduce the impacts of wild dogs in their communities. Key-informant interviews and stakeholder focus groups were used to develop a list of wild dog-management behaviors. On-line surveys with wild dog experts (n = 10) and peri-urban residents (n = 302) were used to create a Be…

Refining Online Communication Strategies for Domestic Cat Management
Management of the domestic cat (Felis catus) relies on community members adopting appropriate management practices toward both companion and unowned (stray, free-living) animals. Getting people to change their behavior and sustain these changes over time can be a challenging process. To date, very few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of interventions aimed at changing people's behavior toward these cats. This study provides a quantitative…
The Future is Now
Many people perceive climate change as psychologically distant-a set of uncertain events that might occur far in the future, impacting distant places and affecting people dissimilar to themselves. In this study, we employed construal level theory to investigate whether a climate change communication intervention could increase public engagement by reducing the psychological distance of climate change. Australian residents (N = 333) were randomly …
En Route to Depression
Dual‐process models of cognitive vulnerability to depression suggest that some individuals possess discrepant implicit and explicit self‐views, such as high explicit and low implicit self‐esteem (fragile self‐esteem) or low explicit and high implicit self‐esteem (damaged self‐esteem). This study investigated whether individuals with discrepant self‐esteem may employ depressive rumination in an effort to reduce discrepancy‐related dissonance, and …
The new ecological paradigm and responses to climate change in China
The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a Chinese-Mandarin version of the revised new ecological paradigm (NEP-R) scale. In a sample of 515 Mandarin-speaking Chinese nationals, we first assessed the factor structure and internal consistency of the NEP-R and assessed its validity by examining associations with global warming risk perceptions and mitigation behavior. Respondents completed the NEP-R scale, together with measures of ris…
Thinking styles and decision making
This meta-analysis examined whether tendencies to use reflective and intuitive thinking styles predicted decision performance (normatively correct responding) and decision experience (e.g., speed, enjoyment) on a range of decision-making tasks. A pooled sample of 17,704 participants (Mage = 25 years) from 89 samples produced small but significant weighted average effects for reflection on performance (r = .11) and experience (r = .14). Intuition …

Audience segmentation and climate change communication
Engaging the public about mitigating or adapting to climate change threats poses significant challenges for scientists, policy makers, and others responsible for developing communication strategies. In response to these challenges, interest is growing in audience segmentation as a possible strategy to develop more effective communications that are tailored and targeted to subgroups of the public who share similar values, beliefs, behaviors, and/o…
Psychological Functioning of Partners of Australian Combat Veterans
Previous research has found posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in combat veterans to be associated with impaired psychological functioning in their partners. However, little is known about possible mediators of this association. The present study investigated the mediational properties of six dimensions of the revised Partners of Veterans' Distress Scale (MacDonell, Marsh, Hine, & Bhullar, 2010). Participants were 181 female partners o…

The association of ability and trait emotional intelligence with alcohol problems
Ability and trait emotional intelligence may be complimentary dimensions of adaptive emotional functioning. Some previous research links both low ability and low trait emotional intelligence with more alcohol problems. A dimensional model of adaptive emotional functioning proposes that higher levels of ability emotional intelligence may predispose individuals to display emotionally intelligent characteristics more often, resulting in higher trait…

Smoking cessation in adults
This study applied Cognitive Experiential Self Theory to investigate the role of smoking expectancies and experiential associations with cigarette use in predicting smoking cessation in a sample of 155 Australian adults. Two discrete changes in the cessation process were investigated. The first involved a cognitive transition from not intending to quit smoking to intending to quit, and the second involved a behavioral transition from intending to…
Sex Differences in Workplace Aggression
This study examined sex differences in three types of workplace aggression previously identified by Baron et al. [1999]: expressions of hostility, obstructionism, and overt aggression. Males reported engaging all three types of workplace aggression more often than females. The magnitude of the sex differences was nearly identical across aggression types. Path analyses revealed the relationship between sex and expressions of hostility was mediated…
Mental Models of Poverty in Developing Nations
Causal mapping was used to compare poverty activists and non-activists from Canada and the Philippines ( N = 80) in terms of their beliefs about the causes of poverty in developing nations. The causal maps varied as a function of both activist status and country of residence. Activists included more external societal causes in their maps than non-activists, whereas non-activists included more individualistic and internal societal causes. In terms…

Attributions about self and others in commons dilemmas
An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of self-harvest and resource management outcome on self–other attributions in a simulated commons dilemma. In groups of five or six, participants (n=171) managed a limited, shared, self-regenerating resource. Self-attributions to ignorance, concern for others, fear, and greed were compared to the same attributions made for cooperative and noncooperative others. The attributions were made in t…
Expectancies and Mental Models as Determinants of Adolescents' Smoking Decisions
Cigarette smoking has been identified as the single most preventable source of mortality and morbidity in the United States. Experimentation with tobacco typically begins in adolescence, and smoking during this period is one of the strongest and most consistent predictors of adult smoking status. In the present paper, we review several prominent decision models that have been applied to adolescent smoking, and point out important limitations of t…
Poverty in developing nations
A survey of anti-poverty activists and non-activists in Canada and the Philippines was conducted to assess their beliefs about the causes of poverty in developing nations. Principal components analysis revealed that the respondents' poverty attributions could be distinguished along five main dimensions: exploitation, characterological weaknesses of the poor, natural causes, conflict, and poor government. Group breakdowns revealed several signific…
