Abstract: Trust in credible sources predicted students’ information-seeking and emotional concern about climate change. Participants (N = 111) completed a 48-item survey; regression models tested predictors of cognitive and affective engagement. Findings support the Elaboration Likelihood Model and suggest source trust plays a greater role than factual knowledge in climate engagement.
