Abstract “Single action bias” (SAB) characterizes individuals’ inclination to undertake only one preventive measure against climate change, disregarding potentially more effective alternatives. This bias poses a significant obstacle comprehensive responses change. While dynamic simulators have been developed raise awareness of change and encourage pro-environmental behaviors, the prevalence SAB within these tools remains unexplored. study introduces Action Bias-Interactive Climate Change...
Stories from ancient Indian scriptures may demonstrate the retention in real-life situations. In virtual reality (VR), synthetic environments allow presentation of stories. However, little research has been done to compare VR with traditional reading regarding their ability cause retention. The current study aims evaluate effect stories on compared text reading. a lab experiment, 75 healthy participants are divided equally and randomly into three between-subject conditions: VR, text, control...
Introduction People worldwide have problems understanding the basic stock-flow principles (e.g., correlation heuristic), which govern many everyday tasks. Perhaps, teaching system dynamic concepts in classroom settings might reduce people’s dependence on heuristic. However, limited literature exists effectiveness of curricula reducing reliance The present research aims to bridge this gap and empirically understand effects programs heuristic improving ability concepts. By taking a case from...
Research indicates that people continue to exhibit “wait-and-see” preferences toward climate change, despite constant attempts raise awareness about its cataclysmic effects. Experiencing climatic catastrophes via simulation tools has been found affect the perception of regarding change and promote pro-environmental behaviors. However, not much is known how experiential feedback probability in a influence decisions people. We developed web-based tool called Interactive Climate Change...
Introduction The global rise in climatic calamities necessitates effective strategies for understanding and addressing Earth’s climate complexities. Although recent research underscores simulation tools’ effectiveness elucidating complex concepts related to climate, partner influence on decisions within studies has been overlooked. Methods Employing the Partner Interactive Climate Change Simulator (P-ICCS), we examined 180 participants across varied conditions. study manipulated nature...
Climate change and its resulting calamities posit a great threat to all the lives on Earth. Prior research indicates that simulation tools popular climate videos may have potential help increase people's knowledge cognizance of (CC). However, literature does not account for transference increased due relevant actual beliefs about change. The present aims study effectiveness climatic in increasing belief involved three between-subject condition: video (n=30), ICCS control (n=30). In...
Visual processing involves the human brain receiving, interpreting, and making sense of visual information in immediate environment. Conventional desktop interfaces have been main method interaction to date. But Virtual Reality (VR) has offered a novel alternative way perceive information. However, cognitive, perceptual, behavioral factors governing these less explored. This research investigates impact immersive VR compared conventional on performance transfer after longitudinal training....
