  • Group norm violations in an online environmental social network

    Open AccessHwanseok Song, Jonathon P Schuldt et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2017References: 3

    Much research has demonstrated the power of social norms to affect proenvironmental behavior and conservation-related attitudes and beliefs in traditional “offline” social contexts. With the emergence of social media and citizen science platforms that allow for socially coordinated conservation efforts at scale comes a need to better understand the influence of social norms in online contexts. The present experiment explored effects of norm viola…

  • The current state of citizen science as a tool for ecological research and public engagement

    Open AccessJanis L Dickinson, Jennifer Shirk et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Ecology and the…2012

    Approaches to citizen science – an indispensable means of combining ecological research with environmental education and natural history observation – range from community‐based monitoring to the use of the internet to “crowd‐source” various scientific tasks, from data collection to discovery. With new tools and mechanisms for engaging learners, citizen science pushes the envelope of what ecologists can achieve, both in expanding the potential fo…

  • Citizen Science as an Ecological Research Tool

    Janis L Dickinson, Benjamin Zuckerberg et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Ecology,…2010

    Citizen science, the involvement of volunteers in research, has increased the scale of ecological field studies with continent-wide, centralized monitoring efforts and, more rarely, tapping of volunteers to conduct large, coordinated, field experiments. The unique benefit for the field of ecology lies in understanding processes occurring at broad geographic scales and on private lands, which are impossible to sample extensively with traditional f…

  • Citizen Science

    Rick Bonney, Caren B Cooper et al.ARTICLEBioScience2009

    Citizen science enlists the public in collecting large quantities of data across an array of habitats and locations over long spans of time. Citizen science projects have been remarkably successful in advancing scientific knowledge, and contributions from citizen scientists now provide a vast quantity of data about species occurrence and distribution around the world. Most citizen science projects also strive to help participants learn about the …

  • The People Paradox

    Open AccessJanis L DickinsonARTICLEConservation Ecology2009Cited by: 7

    Becker, a cultural anthropologist cross-trained in philosophy, sociology, and psychiatry, invoked consciousness of self and the inevitability of death as the primary sources of human anxiety and repression. He proposed that the psychological basis of cooperation, competition, and emotional and mental health is a tendency to hold tightly to anxiety-buffering cultural world views or "immortality projects" that serve as the basis for self-esteem and…
