Who Wants to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Objective . We examine cognitive, economic, and partisan heuristic theories of why some people express support for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Methods . Data come from a mail survey of 623 residents of central Pennsylvania, a region in which mitigation costs exceed potential benefits from slowing the rate of global warming. Results . Ordinary least squares analysis shows that people who can accurately identify the causes of climate change …
In what sense does the public need to understand global climate change
In a survey of 1,218 Americans, the key determinant of behavioral intentions to address global warming is a correct understanding of the causes of global warming. Knowing what causes climate change, and what does not, is the most powerful predictor of both stated intentions to take voluntary actions and to vote on hypothetical referenda to enact new government policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Identifying bogus causes (e.g., insecticid…
How information about likely accomplishments affects willingness to sacrifice to reduce global warming
Does information on what a proposed tax or regulation is likely to accomplish affect willingness to sacrifice? The economists' perspective is that having information about what a sacrifice is 'buying' is likely to influence choices. A different perspective is that vote choices in referenda are more of a symbolic exercise, with voters adopting a heuristic toward an issue domain and the heuristic guiding the vote. This research examines the impact …

The Real Disaster is Above Ground: A Mine Fire and Social Conflict
In the 1950s Centralia was a small town, like many others, in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania. But since the 1960s, it has been consumed, outwardly and inwardly, by a fire that has inexorably spread in the abandoned mines beneath it. The earth smokes, subsides, and breathes poisonous gases. No less destructive has been the spread of dissension and enmity among the townspeople. This is a book about that disaster and about the tragic failure …

Impact of Dogmatism on Reactions to Unvalidated Authority and Anti-Authority
Studies establishing a positive relationship between dogmatism and reverence for authority have generally dealt with sources of authority which were both untested and unquestionable. This research demonstrated that designated authorities who failed to behave in an authoritative manner were evaluated less favorably by 68 high than by 68 low dogmatics. In addition, “anti-authorities” who behaved in a socially acceptable manner were evaluated more f…
The Impact of Imputed Deviant Identities in Structuring Evaluations and Reactions
Societal reaction theory has overemphasized formal and public labeling as determinants of career deviance. Subtle social definition processes can reinforce behavior patterns in the total absence of explicitly applied labels. In this study both positive and negative deviant identities are imputed to normal actors. The stability of the imputations, the ability of the imputations to structure reactions toward the other, and the behavioral transmissi…
Toward a Social-Psychological Theory of Charismatic Social Influence Processes
The concept “charisma” is generally applied in an unsystematic fashion, to noncomparable events, using post hoc analysis. An effort is made to construct a testable model of certain social influence processes included under the “charismatic” influence rubric. Charismatic social influence is viewed as an attribution process influenced by a number of intrapersonal, interpersonal, and social system factors which limit and direct audience members' con…
