I can't compromise the quality of my life I'm sorry”
Changing high‐carbon lifestyles of individuals with high socioeconomic status (SES) is an important step toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions and ensuring social justice within climate change mitigation. However, shifting high‐carbon lifestyles may present a challenge, especially when many high‐carbon behaviours (such as frequent flying and car ownership) are used to signal status within individuals' social networks. Here, we report the findi…
We are what ‘we’ eat
No agency and responsibility for the privileged? Perceptions of climate action among high socioeconomic status citizens in the United Kingdom
Addressing climate change requires significant individual behaviour change, as well as deep societal transformations to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Individuals with high socioeconomic status (SES; i.e., with relatively higher levels of wealth, income, and education) have an important part to play to deliver these changes. This is because they often have carbon-intense consumer lifestyles, but they also have increased power to ad…
To stand out or to conform
What factors hinder the reduction of meat and/or dairy intake? In this study, we explored the perceived barriers that meat and/or dairy reducers experienced when shifting their diets. We particularly focused on how meat and/or dairy reducers were affected by their beliefs about how omnivores stereotype vegans (i.e., meta-stereotypes), as meta-stereotypes have not been previously explored in this context. Through open-ended questions in an online …
Differential effects of film genre on viewers’ absorption, identification, and enjoyment
Marketers, filmmakers, and cinema-goers assume that genre has a large effect on how the audience responds to and engages with a film. However, trait measures such as transportability suggest that, in some cases, individual differences may shape audience engagement more than genre does. To investigate this disparity, we compared viewers’ enjoyment, identification with characters, and story world absorption (including three subscales: Transportatio…
Judi Dench and Shakespearean Personas in the Twenty First Century
Dame Judi Dench’s twenty-first-century theatrical career has defied the expectation that her performance as the Countess in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s 2003 All’s Well That Ends Well would signal the culmination and conclusion of her stage acting career. This article draws on scholarship on the use of retrospection and persona-building to redirect attention from Dench’s conspicuously ‘late’ success in film to map how Dench has led, collaborat…
Shakespeare and vampires at the fin de siècle
This article illuminates Henry Irving's production of Shakespeare's Cymbeline (1896) as a major contribution to fin-de-siècle Gothic culture. Cymbeline (1896) was one of the most popular Victorian Shakespeare productions, running to wild acclaim for more than seventy-two performances. In Cymbeline's sexually-charged bedroom scene, Imogen, played by beloved Victorian actress Ellen Terry, was preyed upon by Henry Irving's villainous Iachimo. Terry …
