Green as the gospel: The power of stewardship messages to improve climate change attitudes.

Three studies (N = 1,389) investigate how attitudes toward the environment and climate change may be informed by stewardship beliefs (care for the Earth as a sacred religious duty) or dominion beliefs (God-given dominance over nature). Pro-environmental measures were positively associated with stewardship belief and negatively associated with dominion belief, moderated by religiosity (Study 1). When religious participants read passages from the Bible supporting stewardship, they expressed greater concern for climate change, compared with those who read dominion messages or a control passage (Study 2). Reading the Pro-environmental encyclical by Pope Francis increased participants’ belief in and moralization of climate change, but this was moderated by favorable attitudes toward the Pope. These findings suggest that environmental attitudes can be shaped by views of religious authorities and present an optimistic view that environmental stewardship can be used to improve concern for climate change among religious believers.

绿色作为福音:管理信息改善气候变化态度的力量。

三项研究 (N = 1,389) 调查了对环境和气候变化的态度如何受到管理信仰(作为神圣的宗教义务爱护地球)或统治信仰(上帝赋予对自然的统治权)的影响。亲环境措施与管理信念呈正相关,与统治信念呈负相关,受宗教信仰的影响(研究 1)。当宗教参与者阅读圣经中支持管理的段落时,与阅读统治信息或控制段落的人相比,他们表达了对气候变化的更大关注(研究 2)。阅读教皇方济各的环保通谕增加了参与者对气候变化的信念和道德化,但这被对教皇的有利态度所缓和。
