Abstract

People’s perception of control can vary under different cultural contexts. Individuals with adjustment mindsets compared to influence mindsets are more likely to engage in pro-environmental behaviors and are more likely to accept climate science. We’re investigating the causal relationship between these mindsets and attitudes towards climate change.
