In two experimental studies we investigated the effect of beliefs about nature and purpose science (classical vs. Kuhnian models science) on responses to uncertainty in scientific messages climate change risk. The results revealed a significant interaction between both measured (Study 1) manipulated 2) level communicated willingness act line with message.

Increased soil erosion is one of the main drivers land degradation in East Africa's agricultural and pastoral landscapes. This wicked problem rooted historic disruptions to co-adapted agro-pastoral systems. Introduction growth policies by centralised governance resulted temporal spatial scale mismatches with complex dynamic African environment, which subsequently contributed exhaustion, declining fertility increased erosion. Coercive use, privatisation, sedentarisation, exclusion...
Despite governmental efforts and organizational initiatives, the number of disabled professionals in full‐time employment is small, those occupying leadership positions remains even smaller. Past research into disability has outlined a range barriers that people face seeking maintaining employment. Yet, not enough known about challenges they encounter top ranking appointments. This article extends Ryan's Haslam's notion glass cliff to help explain precariousness experienced by group...
The authors propose that the salience of a distant-future time perspective, compared to near-future should increase attitude-behaviour and attitude-intention consistency for future-oriented behaviours. To test this prediction, perspective was experimentally manipulated in three studies. Across studies, participants condition demonstrated strong positive relationship between attitudes towards behaviours (saving environmental protection) corresponding intentions, as well behaviour. In...
Self-categorization theory suggests that inter-group comparisons inform individual behaviour by affecting perceived in-group stereotypes are internalized group members. The present paper provides evidence for this chain of effects in the domain environmental behaviour. In two studies, comparative context was manipulated. Study 1 found stereotype, self-stereotype (as represented reported value centrality), and behavioural intentions shifted away from a comparison out-group (irrespective...
Implementation of socially acceptable and environmentally desirable solutions to soil erosion challenges is often limited by (1) fundamental gaps between the evidence bases different disciplines (2) an implementation gap science-based recommendations, policy makers practitioners.

Abstract The present paper adopts a social identity perspective to examine the relationship between community‐based identification and well‐being, resilience willingness pay back in context of urban regeneration. A sample 104 residents across five deprived areas southwest England that have recently undergone or are about undergo regeneration projects completed survey. results demonstrate where more community‐centred, bottom‐up, approach was taken (i.e., ‘culture‐led’) showed higher levels...
Abstract Shifting society to more sustainable modes of consumption poses significant challenges the way people live their lives. Many everyday practices commensurate with addressing sustainability goals are currently minority pursuits, especially in highly industrialized countries. Such often come form basis social identities (e.g., as “vegans” or “cyclists”). These moralized practice (MMPIs) represent focus this theoretical article. We theorize nature and genesis MMPIs, discuss how...
Abstract There is evidence that engagement with tangible heritage linked to improvements in well‐being. However, experimental tests of this association, as well theoretical accounts explaining relationship, are lacking. The present study aims compensate for gap by developing a framework based on the social identity approach explains effect community‐based well‐being, and testing quasi‐experimental field context community test pit archeological excavations. In line predictions, results...
We explored the effects of language-based stigma on relationship between native and nonnative speakers. In two studies, we found that stigmatized speakers experienced more negative interpersonal interactions, higher levels intergroup threat, reduced performance an English test compared with who did not experience stigma. These were mediated by anxiety moderated prevention-related goals. Furthermore, perceived (vs. not-stigmatized) speakers’ accents as stronger their commitment to living in...
We investigated the interplay between source of criticism and attributional content their message on behavioral responses to group-based criticism. Studies 1 2 revealed that outgroup critics were more effective when included internal attributions (to ingroup’s character) rather than external (the circumstances), whereas there was no effect for ingroup (a significant Source × Content interaction). Study 3 explored role audiences in The results indicated positive effects versus only evident an...
Soil erosion is a major environmental challenge that undermines economic development in many regions of the world. While much previous work explored physical processes behind this problem, less attention has been paid to social, cultural, and psychological parameters make significant impact on soil through land use practices they support. The present paper addresses gap by conducting qualitative exploration agro-pastoralist stakeholders' experiences northern Tanzania, using community...
In four experimental studies, we explored the moderating role of perceptions one's self as flexible vs. fixed on relationship between identity conflict, well-being, and self-esteem. Across different contexts, it was demonstrated that representations stable changeable moderated effect conflicting identities well-being Specifically, activation led to a decrease in self-esteem among those who construed their stable, but not adopted self. The results suggest net multiple depends only...

Abstract The present paper explores psychological processes that underpin the success of community change in context urban regeneration schemes. We adopt a social identity approach to develop an understanding ways which dynamics may impact upon peoples' experiences regeneration, and what influence these have on creation new communities. Qualitative interviews, using thematic analysis as analytic technique, were conducted with members ( n = 14) recently (2001–2011) regenerated area South‐West...
Does money buy happiness? Or is happiness derived from looking outwards towards our social networks? Many researchers have answered these questions by exploring whether the best predictor of well‐being either economic or (or some fixed combination two). This paper argues for a dynamic perspective on capacity and factors to predict well‐being. In two studies, we show that both (individual income) community (social capital) can be basis individual happiness. However, relative influence each...
Not all types of praise may be equally stimulating. Instead, positive feedback carries different meaning depending on the source that delivers it and attributions for success contains. In present study, (in‐group vs. out‐group) its content (attributing to internal external causes) were experimentally manipulated. The results revealed there was a significant interaction between performance in praise‐related task. As predicted, participants exposed out‐group motivated by rather than...
Achieving change to address soil erosion has been a global yet elusive goal for decades. Efforts implement effective solutions have often fallen short due lack of sustained, context-appropriate and multi-disciplinary engagement with the problem. Issues include prevalence short-term funding ‘quick-fix’ solutions; nuanced understandings institutional, socio-economic or cultural drivers problems; little community in design testing and, critically, traction integrating locally designed into...
We experimentally investigated the effect of superordinate (i.e. British) versus subordinate English) identity salience on willingness to contribute a resource shared at level (the British coast). Contrary what would be expected from straightforward application self-categorization theory, two studies demonstrated that this was higher when (rather than superordinate) activated. To explain effect, we suggest identities sometimes provide more meaningful basis for self-definition and, is case,...
