Fig. 3: Divine (vs. human) control reduces climate concern and demand for information.
From: Belief in divine (versus human) control of earth affects perceived threat of climate change
All outcomes (displayed in vertical text on the left side of each panel) recoded to range from 0 to 1. Panels (a) and (c) estimated via OLS regression; panels (b) and (d) estimated via logistic regression. Panel (a) shows that the experimental manipulation significantly reduced climate change concern. Panel (b) shows that the experimental manipulation significantly reduced the probability that a respondent would identify climate change as a major problem or crisis. Panel (c) shows that the experimental manipulation significantly reduced agreement that climate change is a major problem that requires “immediate action.” Panel (d) shows that the experimental manipulation significantly reduced the probability that a respondent would voluntarily request to be given climate-related information from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) at the end of the survey. CIs are 90 and 95%. Data = Lucid Theorem. N = 2685.
