Australian public opinions of responsible innovation
Perceived need for management interventions in the Great Barrier Reef
The health of coral reef ecosystems is critically threatened by global warming, a fact well-recognized by reef managers and conservation specialists. However, this awareness does not necessarily extend to the broader public, potentially creating an epistemological disparity between expert understanding of necessary environmental management interventions and public perceptions of the need to intervene. This study examines the Great Barrier Reef (G…
Public perceptions of responsible innovation
Today, boundaries between innovation, science, and technology have loosened, with innovation often driving technology built upon scientific discovery. This combination has brought us the internet, electric vehicles, and space exploration. But it has not all been good. The economization of innovation has contributed to social inequity, progressed autonomous weaponry, and put the ecological health of our planet at risk. For these reasons, the quest…
Responsible innovation for disruptive science and technology
As the world increasingly faces intersecting and complex environmental, social, and economic challenges, there are rising demands on emerging science and technology to produce innovative and potentially disruptive solutions. However, these solutions may also introduce different problems, uncertainties, and risks. Responsible innovation (RI) offers a way to identify and mitigate the social and ethical risks associated with new science and technolo…
Evaluating energy behavior change programs using randomized controlled trials
Governments and policymakers around the globe are becoming increasingly interested in how to effectively change the behavior of energy consumers. In the residential sector, numerous programs are attempting to shift the behavior of individuals and households in the public interest—for example toward more energy efficient practices, greater uptake of demand-side management technology, increased use of renewable energy, and better responsiveness to …
The Socio-Demographic and Psychological Predictors of Residential Energy Consumption
This article provides a comprehensive review of theory and research on the individual-level predictors of household energy usage. Drawing on literature from across the social sciences, we examine two broad categories of variables that have been identified as potentially important for explaining variability in energy consumption and conservation: socio-demographic factors (e.g., income, employment status, dwelling type/size, home ownership, househ…
Household energy use
Household energy conservation has emerged as a major challenge and opportunity for researchers, practitioners and policymakers. Consumers also seem to be gaining greater awareness of the value and need for sustainable energy practices, particularly amid growing public concerns over greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Yet even with adequate knowledge of how to save energy and a professed desire to do so, many consumers still fail to take …
Stasis and change
Ecologists have used the concept of resilience since the 1970s. Resilience also features in many of the social and economic sciences, though in a less central role and with a variety of interpretations. Developing a fuller understanding of the concept of social-ecological resilience promises advances in how science can contribute to achieving better environmental outcomes, locally and globally. Such a development requires articulation of differen…

Comparing different approach and avoidance models of learning and personality in the prediction of work, university, and leadership outcomes
Jackson (2005) developed a hybrid model of personality and learning, known as the learning styles profiler (LSP) which was designed to span biological, socio-cognitive, and experiential research foci of personality and learning research. The hybrid model argues that functional and dysfunctional learning outcomes can be best understood in terms of how cognitions and experiences control, discipline, and re-express the biologically based scale of se…
The Role of Team Identification in the Dissimilarity-Conflict Relationship
This study examined the role of team identification in the dissimilarity and conflict relationship. We tested competing predictions that team identification would either mediate or moderate the positive associations between visible (age, gender and ethnic background), professional (background) and value dissimilarity and task and relationship conflict. Data was collected from 27 MBA student teams twice during a semester. Multilevel modelling and …
