Abstract Climate change is one of the greatest threats to humanity and requires immediate action. Schuldt, Konrath, and Schwarz (2011) suggested that beliefs in environmental phenomena can be influenced by the terminology used to describe it: changing question wording from global warming to climate change resulted in a 6.3 percentage point increase in belief in environmental phenomena. This association was moderated by political self-identification, with Republicans being 16.2 percentage points more likely to believe in climate change than in global warming, with Democrats showing no difference. The potential for connotative meanings to shift over time and the sociopolitical changes since the original study, potential policy and environmental campaign implications, and an expansion of these findings to other countries, motivated an attempt to replicate this important finding. This pre-registered study repeated the original procedures in the United States of America and two other countries (United Kingdom and Australia; total N = 5,717). Although question wording no longer had a significant effect on beliefs in climate change/global warming, the association of political self-identification with beliefs in environmental phenomena replicated in all three countries, with Conservatives consistently believing less in climate change/global warming than Liberals. The potential impacts of temporal and methodological differences on the discrepancies between this study's and the original's findings are discussed.

“全球变暖”与“气候变化”:政治自我认同、问题措辞和环境信念之间关联的复制

摘要 气候变化是人类面临的最大威胁之一,需要立即采取行动。Schuldt、Konrath 和 Schwarz(2011 年)认为,对环境现象的信念会受到用于描述它的术语的影响:将问题措辞从全球变暖改为气候变化导致对环境现象的信念增加了 6.3 个百分点。这种关联受到政治自我认同的影响,共和党人相信气候变化的可能性比相信全球变暖的可能性高 16.2 个百分点,而民主党人则没有差异。内涵意义随着时间的推移而变化的可能性以及自原始研究以来的社会政治变化、潜在的政策和环境运动影响,以及将这些发现扩展到其他国家,激发了重复这一重要发现的尝试。这项预先注册的研究重复了美国和其他两个国家(英国和澳大利亚;总 N = 5,717)的原始程序。尽管问题措辞不再对气候变化/全球变暖的信念产生重大影响,但政治自我认同与环境现象信念的关联在所有三个国家都得到了复制,保守党始终比自由党更相信气候变化/全球变暖。讨论了时间和方法差异对本研究和原始结果之间差异的潜在影响。这项预先注册的研究重复了美国和其他两个国家(英国和澳大利亚;总 N = 5,717)的原始程序。尽管问题措辞不再对气候变化/全球变暖的信念产生显着影响,但政治自我认同与环境现象信念的关联在所有三个国家都得到了复制,保守党始终比自由党更相信气候变化/全球变暖。讨论了时间和方法差异对本研究和原始结果之间差异的潜在影响。这项预先注册的研究重复了美国和其他两个国家(英国和澳大利亚;总 N = 5,717)的原始程序。尽管问题措辞不再对气候变化/全球变暖的信念产生显着影响,但政治自我认同与环境现象信念的关联在所有三个国家都得到了复制,保守党始终比自由党更相信气候变化/全球变暖。讨论了时间和方法差异对本研究和原始结果之间差异的潜在影响。政治自我认同与对环境现象的信念的联系在所有三个国家都得到了复制,保守党始终比自由党更相信气候变化/全球变暖。讨论了时间和方法差异对本研究和原始结果之间差异的潜在影响。政治自我认同与对环境现象的信念的联系在所有三个国家都得到了复制,保守党始终比自由党更相信气候变化/全球变暖。讨论了时间和方法差异对本研究和原始结果之间差异的潜在影响。
