Although global warming is a serious problem that influences numerous people worldwide, individuals are still reluctant to change their behaviours. The present research investigates how local hot temperatures affect climate action in non‐Western groups. In Study 1, an analysis of temperature and information acquisition by Shanghai residents in 122 days found that heat increased attention and awareness of climate change. In Study 2 and Study 3, participants who were primed with heat‐related perceptions were more likely to take climate action in private and public spheres. In Study 4, we further identified that people who experienced hot temperature events increased their beliefs and efficacy about climate change, which in turn motivated them to take more climate action. Importantly, the mediating effects were significant both in the manipulation of heat and real‐world settings. Consistent with our theoretical perspective, seeing is more than believing because personal experience increases climate action by fostering climate change beliefs and efficacy.

眼见为实:个人经验促进气候行动



尽管全球变暖是一个影响全世界无数人的严重问题,但人们仍然不愿意改变自己的行为。目前的研究调查了当地高温如何影响非西方群体的气候行动。研究一通过对上海居民122天内的气温和信息获取情况进行分析发现,高温增加了人们对气候变化的关注和认知。在研究 2 和研究 3 中,具有与热相关的认知的参与者更有可能在私人和公共领域采取气候行动。在研究4中,我们进一步发现,经历过高温事件的人增加了他们对气候变化的信念和功效,这反过来又促使他们采取更多的气候行动。重要的是,在热控制和现实世界环境中,中介效应都很显着。与我们的理论观点一致,眼见为实,因为个人经验通过培养气候变化信念和功效来增加气候行动。
