Protest Emergence
While many explanations in the literature propose socioeconomic and structural explanations for the rise of protest activity, historical dimensions are often overlooked. Less work undertakes quantitative analysis of these explanations in relation to what has been described by some as the biggest U.S. movement in history, Black Lives Matter (BLM). First, we determine whether socioeconomic and organizational factors, which researchers have used to …
Is artificial intelligence revolutionizing climate change education? An exploratory study of climate change ChatGPT output
Educators and students are increasingly using a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT to learn about climate change. Others speculate that learning will be revolutionized forever with the mainstreaming of AI-based sites like ChatGPT. Less is known about the quality of AI prompt responses about climate change. This study examines 100 ChatGPT climate change prompts to examine what exploratory themes emerge…

Exploring Virtual Reality as a Potential Care Technology
Virtual reality or VR is a technology that uses computers to generate simulated worlds. It has been attracting attention lately as, for some, it represents a new frontier in communication, while others are far from convinced. This paper proposes a recasting of VR as a technology for “care ethics.” It draws on some examples of work in environmental communication and sister disciplines that show that VR has activated empathy and enabled novel persp…
An Experimental Study of Climate Change Messages
There is some evidence to suggest an absence of emotional activation about climate change, partly due to the perception of it as a distant phenomenon. Little research to date has also examined whether individual portrayals are best within the context of psychological distance. There is also a lack of studies that experimentally evaluate human and animal messaging using a causal research design. We examine human and animal effects and individual a…
A Qualitative Exploration of Individual Experiences of Environmental Virtual Reality Through the Lens of Psychological Distance
How to increase public engagement in environmental issues is a central question in environmental communication and environmental psychology literatures. Psychological distance (PD) is one potential barrier to public engagement. PD describes the perceptual distance between a person’s experience and an external target. Immersive technologies such as virtual reality (VR) have the potential to shrink PD. Yet, we know little about how people perceive …
