Social psychology provides a treasure‐trove of insights into adaptations that may limit the devastating effects of climate change. Vested Interest Theory may contribute to this knowledge base, suggesting that one's vested interest may significantly influence appropriate coping behaviors, as it is has been shown to enhance the relation between attitudes and self‐relevant behaviors. The theory's utility is investigated in an environmental risk context. Here, we replicate previous research findings showing that citizens in high‐risk areas perceived higher risk and stronger intentions to cope with it when vested interest perceptions were salient. Furthermore, the current studies investigate the behavioral effect of vested interest on coping with an environmental risk (flooding): results showed that vested interest significantly mediated the past experience–coping behaviors relationship. In Study 1’s mediation analysis (Rome and Vibo Valentia, Italy, N = 466), past experience of flood risk enhanced vested interest in flood risk, which in turn increased volunteering for flood prevention activities, thereby mitigating risk. In Study 2 (N = 391), the same mediation effect was replicated in the Timis region, a high flood risk area in western Romania. These results shed light on literature inconsistencies on this topic, providing insights for the theoretical understanding of the relationship between past experience of a given risk and related coping behaviors, possibly shedding light to the risk perception paradox. These insights may drive effective intervention strategies to enhance people's behavioral coping with environmental risks.

体验,关怀,应对:既得利益会调解过去经验对环境风险环境下应对行为的影响
社会心理学提供了对适应的见解的宝贵宝库,这些见解可能会限制气候变化的破坏性影响。既得利益理论可能有助于建立这一知识基础,表明一个人的既得利益可能会显着影响适当的应对行为,因为事实表明,这种既得利益关系可以增强态度与自我相关行为之间的关系。在环境风险的背景下研究了该理论的效用。在这里,我们重复了以前的研究结果,结果表明,当既得利益观念明显时,高风险地区的公民会感觉到较高的风险和较强的应对意愿。此外,当前的研究调查了既得利益对应对环境风险(洪水)的行为影响:结果表明,既得利益极大地介导了过去的经验和应对行为之间的关系。在研究1的中介分析中(意大利罗马和维博·瓦伦蒂亚,N = 466),过去的洪水风险经验增强了人们对洪水风险的既得利益,从而反过来增加了对防洪活动的自愿性,从而减轻了风险。在研究2中(N = 391),同样的调解作用在罗马尼亚西部西部高洪灾区蒂米什地区也得到了体现。这些结果揭示了有关该主题的文献不一致之处,为对给定风险的过去经验与相关应对行为之间的关系提供了理论上的见解,从而可能揭示了风险感知悖论。这些见解可能会推动有效的干预策略,以增强人们的行为应对环境风险。
