Meta-analytical evidence of a self–other discrepancy in climate change-related risk perceptions
In mitigating and adapting to climate change-related risks, unbiased risk assessments are essential. Yet individuals systematically rate their personal risks as lower than those of others, believing themselves to be less at risk than others (that is, a self–other discrepancy). In a preregistered multi-level meta-analysis, we estimate the overall effect and boundary conditions for a self–other discrepancy in climate change-related risk perceptions…
How automotive firms enable value creation within mature innovation ecosystems: The case of Polestar
Complementors and their role in inducing and supporting the value co-creation of other complementors have rarely been in focus in innovation ecosystems studies. Specifically, the literature does not explain how a complementor can transition from a peripheral role to becoming a focal complementor. This paper explains how a peripheral complementor characterized by scarce resources and poorly aligned capabilities can overcome these obstacles through…
The role of emotion regulation in normative influence under uncertainty
Social norms are pivotal in guiding decision-making. Motives for following social norms are often described as gaining or avoiding (dis)approval and as an adaptive heuristic. We propose that social norms also serve an emotion-regulating function. Across three preregistered experiments (n total = 2518), we operationalized uncertainty as complexity, risk, and ambiguity. Results first confirmed that descriptive social norms are more influential in u…
Limiting support for environmental policies: Unfairness is a more critical barrier than cost and ineffectiveness
Costs and policy-specific beliefs, such as effectiveness and fairness, are central factors for supporting environmental taxes. Less is known about how much each of these factors is limiting support. Across four experiments, I investigate to which extent high costs, ineffectiveness, and unfairness constrain support for environmental taxes. Results consistently demonstrate that perceived unfairness poses a greater barrier to support than extensive …
(Un)acceptable protein shift: Consumer attitudes toward retail-led interventions promoting sustainable diets
Acceptability of plastic policies: Cross-cultural insights on social norms and trust
Annually, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in rivers and the oceans, obstructing the surrounding ecosystems and resulting in substantial environmental degradation, as well as unforeseeable negative consequences for several species, including humans. In tackling this plastics crisis, the United Nations Environmental Assembly has decided to draft international legally binding instruments targeting the manufacture and use of problematic type…
Field interventions for climate change mitigation behaviors: A second-order meta-analysis
Behavioral change is essential to mitigate climate change. To advance current knowledge, we synthesize research on interventions aiming to promote climate change mitigation behaviors in field settings. In a preregistered second-order meta-analysis, we assess the overall effect of 10 meta-analyses, incorporating a total of 430 primary studies. In addition, we assess subgroup analyses for six types of interventions, five behaviors, and three public…
Direct and mediated impacts of social norms on pro-environmental behavior
The social norm-based intervention is a frequently used tool for encouraging pro-environmental behavior. In designing effective interventions, however, both practitioners and researchers need more knowledge about the relationships between different norm constructs and pro-environmental behavior. In this study, we meta-analyze the predictive strength of injunctive, descriptive, and personal norms using meta-analytical structural equation modeling …
Meta-analyses of fifteen determinants of public opinion about climate change taxes and laws
Public acceptance is a precondition for implementing taxes and laws aimed at mitigating climate change. However, it still remains challenging to understand its determinants for the climate community. Here, we use a meta-analytic approach to examine the role of public opinion about climate change taxes and laws. Fifteen variables were examined by synthesizing 89 datasets from 51 articles across 33 countries, with a total sample of 119,465 particip…
The DOs and DON’Ts in social norms: A descriptive don’t‐norm increases conformity
Descriptive norms guide social behavior by informing what other people do. In a conceptual proposition, we suggest that descriptive norms also could signal what other people don’t do. Building on the evolutionary predisposition to more urgently attend to negative than positive information, we hypothesize that people are more strongly influenced by choices that other people avoid, than by choices that other people choose. Descriptive data in three…

Spillover effects in environmental behaviors, across time and context: A review and research agenda
When implementing environmental education and interventions to promote one pro-environmental behavior, it is seldom asked if and how non-target pro-environmental behaviors are affected. The spillover effect proposes that engaging in one behavior affects the probability of engagement or disengaging in a second behavior. Therefore, the positive spillover effect predicts that interventions targeting one specific behavioral have the capacity to promo…
Mot cyberrymden — och vidare: Etnologisk och folkloristisk IT-forskning på frammarsch
The article gives an overview of the development of ethnologic and folkloristic research in the area of information technology (IT) use and relates this to international research agendas in different communities. It is argued that IT-research opens up for new empirical, methodological and theoretical issues, as well as makes it possible to rethink established — and sometimes revitalise abandoned — concepts and ideas. Ethnologic and folkloristic I…
Framtidsfixarna
The paper deals with sensemaking about the future in the form of a growing business of trend analyses and scenario planning companies. The idea of "a new economy" is associated with turbulence and complexity in economic life, which opens up for a need for pointers towards plausible and strategic relevant futures scenarios. In order to become successful scenario planners first have to describe the present and unstable and then present their interp…
From fever to flu: The rhetoric of reporting Asia in a Swedish business magazine
Stereotypes are generally considered to be the opposite of good information, which of course should be accurate and have some degree of complexity. At their worst stereotypes spread prejudice, at the best they may contain a 'kernel of truth'. However, as globalization moves on the demand for simplified understanding of complex, large-scale phenomena grows. In our article an analysis of some aspects of east-west image making is offered showing an …

Ibero-Romance: Comparative Phonology and Morphology
This study is designed to show the similarities and differences of the phonological and morphological developments among the three Ibero-Romance languages, Castilian, Portuguese and Catalan. Several studies have been done on the respective languages: R. Men^ndez-Pidal, Manual de gram^tica hist6rica espanola, R. Lapesa, Historia de la lengua espafiola, A. Badfa Margarit, Gram^tica hist6rica catalana, and E. Williams, From Latin to Portuguese. A fe…
