“The Intangible Became Tangible”
Research suggests that end-of-life experiences (ELEs) – unusual or unexplained phenomena around the time of death – can positively influence the dying process. Despite this, few studies have examined whether and how ELEs affect the experience of grief for bereaved loved ones. Using a qualitative approach, the study explored how ELEs shaped grief for eight bereaved individuals based in Aotearoa New Zealand. Interpretive phenomenological analysis w…
Communicating natural hazards science advice
How individuals perceive scientific processes impacts their interpretation of, trust in, and use of, science advice particularly when managing uncertain natural hazard risk. We explored a) how diverse stakeholders understand how science of natural hazards is produced, and b) how this relates to their ontological, epistemological, and philosophical views of science. Using inductive analysis of semi-structured interviews with 31 participants involv…
Extremism at the center
The midpoint of the left‐right self‐placement item is hiding important political diversity, and may be conflating moderate responders with populists and other political sub‐groups. Survey researchers should consider this problem when examining relationships between political orientation and political attitudes. We suggest testing for non‐linearity in these relationships, and measuring anti‐establishment and populist beliefs separately. Researcher…
Does Developing a Belief in One Conspiracy Theory Lead a Person to be More Likely to Believe in Others
The monological belief system model suggests that—for at least a subset of people—developing a belief in one conspiracy theory will cause them to be more likely to believe in others. This model has been influential in the literature, but its core causal hypothesis has never been credibly tested. We therefore tested it in two longitudinal studies. Study 1 used a sample from New Zealand and Australia ( N = 498), with 7 monthly waves. Study 2 (prere…
Differences in perceived sources of uncertainty in natural hazards science advice
Introduction We conducted mental model interviews in Aotearoa NZ to understand perspectives of uncertainty associated with natural hazards science. Such science contains many layers of interacting uncertainties, and varied understandings about what these are and where they come from creates communication challenges, impacting the trust in, and use of, science. To improve effective communication, it is thus crucial to understand the many diverse p…
Where does scientific uncertainty come from, and from whom? Mapping perspectives of natural hazards science advice
The science associated with assessing natural hazard phenomena and the risk they pose contains many layers of complex and interacting elements, resulting in diverse sources of uncertainty. This creates a challenge for effective communication, which must consider how people perceive that uncertainty. Thus, we conducted twenty-five mental model interviews in Aotearoa New Zealand with participants ranging from scientists to policy writers and emerge…
Eliciting mental models of science and risk for disaster communication
We present a scoping review of methods used to elicit individuals' mental models of science or risk. Developing a shared understanding of the science related to risk is crucial for diverse individuals to collaboratively manage disaster consequences. Mental models, or people's psychological representation of how the ‘world works’, present a valuable tool to achieve this. Potential applications range from developing effective risk communication for…
Democracy and belief in conspiracy theories in New Zealand
The COVID-19 pandemic supercharged the spread of fake news, misinformation, and conspiracy theories worldwide. Using a national probability sample of adults from the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study during 2020 (17–99 years old; M = 48.59, SD = 13.86; 63% women, 37% men; N = 41,487), we examined the associations between agreement with general conspiracy beliefs and political indicators of intention to vote and satisfaction with government, …
Broad consensus across the divide’
The links between science and policy are navigated prominently in the media. The internet provides a forum for discussion of climate change, allowing lay people to enter the debate. In this paper, rhetorical analysis was used to analyse online news articles and comments from the public following two major climate‐related decisions in New Zealand. This analysis demonstrates how arguments regarding climate change are built and defended. Identifying…
Assessing displays for supporting strategic emergency management
Purpose – Emergency management groups aiming to address community resilience work with complex systems which consist of multiple interacting dynamics. The purpose of this paper is to help ensure that information is displayed in a way which supports strategic performance, to address longer term challenges faced by these groups. Design/methodology/approach – Ten professional emergency managers completed an online simulation of complex, community re…
Non-Military Determinants of Military Budgets
A theory of military budgets should include the non-military purposes they may serve, and it should distinguish between the roles played by policy rules reflecting those purposes and rules reflecting norms for the budgetary process per se. For advanced industrialized countries whose international relations center on the U.S., the non-military purposes of particular relevance are those which emphasize macroeconomic performance, a security concepti…
