Social Dominance Orientation, Racial Attitudes, and Empathy Predict Climate Change Denial

Previous research has shown relationships among Climate Change Denial (CCD), empathy, and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO). In current study, CCD was predicted by empathy, SDO, and racial attitudes. Furthermore, racial attitudes may mediate the relationship between SDO and CCD. Gender differences in CCD and SDO were not replicated.
