Perceptions of the Belgian Coast through time
Purpose Opposition to change is a critical barrier for coastal transitions. It is recently argued that such opposition may arise from “climax thinking”, the belief that current landscapes have reached an ideal state and should remain as they are. However, people’s evaluations of place over time (past, present and future) remain understudied, leaving it unknown whether climax thinking is common, whether other evaluations prevail, and what impact t…

Sustainable energy technology adoption for a low-carbon future
Sustainable energy technologies are essential to achieving global climate goals, yet adoption rates remain below the levels required to realise net-zero emissions. To clarify which psychological factors can accelerate or hinder uptake, we performed the most comprehensive quantitative synthesis of psychological determinants of sustainable energy-technology adoption to date. We synthesised 1341 zero-order correlations from 206 peer-reviewed studies…
Accelerating social tipping points in sustainable behaviors
To address the climate crisis, it is important to accelerate social tipping points in the adoption of sustainable behaviors. Social tipping points describe the process whereby small changes trigger self-perpetuating feedback loops and produce a fundamental transformation in the social system. The current literature does not adequately address how the moralized nature of sustainable behaviors could lead to unique tipping trajectories. In this Pers…
Worrying about the Consequences of Covid-19 for Distant Others Relates to Mitigative Actions
To mitigate the impacts and spread of COVID-19, drastic mitigative actions are demanded from individuals worldwide, including social distancing, health behaviors, and self-quarantining. A key question is what motivates individuals to take and support such actions. Early in the COVID-19 crisis, we hypothesized and found in two studies (in the Netherlands and United States) that stronger worries about potential consequences of COVID-19 for oneself …
Gendered geography of energy consumption in the Netherlands
Household energy consumption (HEC) significantly impacts global greenhouse gas emissions and can trigger fuel and energy poverty among vulnerable households. Due to environmental policies and geopolitical turmoil limiting the energy supply, HEC needs to be curbed. This urges the identification of most energy-dependent consumers at different locations and the particular life circumstances that trigger such a high level of dependency. A gender pers…
Engaging City Residents in Climate Action
Cities can play a pivotal role in accelerating climate action, that is, climate mitigation and adaption. Yet, the success of cities’ climate strategies strongly depends on the cities’ residents, who often have to accept, adopt, undertake and participate in climate actions. This article discusses how a better understanding of city residents’ motives—particularly the personal and group values that underlie their climate actions—could foster climate…

The more public influence, the better? The effects of full versus shared influence on public acceptability of energy projects in the Netherlands and China
Public participation in decision making is considered an important factor that could enhance public acceptability of decision-making process and resulting decisions on renewable energy projects. Yet, little is known about when and how public participation can enhance public acceptability. In two experimental studies where no real decisions were taken, we compare the effect of shared influence versus full influence (either with or without expert s…
De waarden achter klimaatgedrag
The values behind climate action: How personal values and perceived group values can motivate and promote climate action To reach global climate targets, it is key that individuals support and undertake climate action. What motivates such actions? We discuss how climate actions are rooted in – and motivated by – values, which reflect stable and general life goals that guide individuals’ behaviours. We focus on the often-studied personal values, a…
Meta-analytic evidence for a robust and positive association between individuals’ pro-environmental behaviors and their subjective wellbeing
While it is often suggested that individuals’ pro-environmental behaviors may be linked with their subjective wellbeing, the strength and direction (e.g. positive or negative) of this relation is unclear. Because pro-environmental behaviors impact peoples’ everyday lives, understanding this relation is critical for promoting long-term environmental solutions. Using a series of meta-analyses, we systematically reviewed the literature on the associ…

Motivating Society-wide Pro-environmental Change
Effects of trust and public participation on acceptability of renewable energy projects in the Netherlands and China
Measuring Values in Environmental Research
Four human values are considered to underlie individuals' environmental beliefs and behaviors: biospheric (i.e., concern for environment), altruistic (i.e., concern for others), egoistic (i.e., concern for personal resources) and hedonic values (i.e., concern for pleasure and comfort). These values are typically measured with an adapted and shortened version of the Schwartz Value Survey (SVS), to which we refer as the Environmental-SVS (E-SVS). D…
