Extant theoretical and empirical work posits that perceptions of responsibility are crucial antecedents of pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors. However, the degree to which this association exists reliably, across nations, and across different proenvironmental outcomes (self-reports of attitudes, beliefs, behaviors and policy support), as well as the degree to which national-level factors influence variability in such perceptions, has received less attention. To shed light on this inquiry, we utilized data from the eighth round of the European Social Survey, collected across 23 countries (N = 44,387). Utilizing multilevel and meta-analytical regressions we find that perceived responsibility to address climate change relates to 10 different pro-environmental outcomes. This association was seemingly stronger and more consistent for climate change beliefs (i.e., anthropogenic causes, acceptance, concern), proenvironmental policy support, and behavioral intentions, but not for knowledge-specific beliefs, such as the use of (non-)renewable energy. Further, 12% of variance in perceived responsibility to address climate change was explained by national factors. We conclude that additional cross-national and experimental work is required to better understand the (causal) influence of perceptions of responsibility on proenvironmental behaviors and the degree to which national factors influence this association.

应对气候变化的感知责任始终与增加的环保态度、行为和政策支持相关:23 个国家的证据

现有的理论和实证研究认为,责任感是亲环境态度和行为的重要前提。然而,这种关联在不同国家和不同的亲环境结果(态度、信仰、行为和政策支持的自我报告)之间可靠存在的程度,以及国家层面因素影响这种看法的可变性的程度, 受到的关注较少。为了阐明这项调查,我们利用了第八轮欧洲社会调查的数据,收集了 23 个国家(N = 44,387)。利用多层次和元分析回归,我们发现应对气候变化的感知责任与 10 种不同的环保成果有关。对于气候变化信念(即,人为原因、接受度、关注)、环保政策支持和行为意图,这种关联似乎更强烈、更一致,但对于特定知识的信念,例如使用(非)可再生能源却不是. 此外,12% 的应对气候变化的感知责任差异是由国家因素解释的。我们得出结论,需要额外的跨国和实验工作来更好地理解责任感对环保行为的(因果)影响以及国家因素影响这种关联的程度。
