Psychological Drivers of Public Support for Water Quality Policies

Poster Session XI

Keyword: Climate Change

Abstract: In a mixed-methods study, we examined psychological drivers of water policy support. Study 1 (N=484) identified perceived environmental, social, and economic consequences of three policies from text data. These findings informed a quantitative scale in Study 2 (N=650). Perceived net positive social consequences were most strongly associated with policy support.
