Online climate change polarization has increasingly received academic interest over time. Online media facilitate and accelerate processes of climate change polarization. Yet, throughout the years, online climate change polarization became a fuzzy concept, holding different meanings in different academic contexts. By reviewing the available evidence, the current article identified three ontological distinctions in online climate change polarization research: (1) focus on different groups that polarize; (2) either investigate the positions, relations, or emotions of actors; and (3) states or processes of polarization. Based on the latter two ontological distinctions, the article reconceptualizes online climate change polarization as a multidimensional phenomenon, by introducing a framework comprising six dimensions of polarization. Accordingly, by identifying gaps in the literature, the article proposes a future research agenda.This article is categorized under: Perceptions, Behavior, and Communication of Climate Change > Communication Perceptions, Behavior, and Communication of Climate Change > Perceptions of Climate Change Perceptions, Behavior, and Communication of Climate Change > Behavior Change and Responses

对立立场、分裂互动和敌对影响：“在线气候变化极化”的系统回顾和概念化


随着时间的推移，在线气候变化两极分化越来越受到学术界的关注。在线媒体促进并加速了气候变化两极分化的进程。然而，多年来，在线气候变化两极分化成为一个模糊的概念，在不同的学术背景下具有不同的含义。通过回顾现有证据，本文确定了在线气候变化极化研究的三个本体论区别：（1）关注极化的不同群体； (2) 调查行为者的立场、关系或情绪； (3)极化状态或过程。基于后两个本体论区别，本文通过引入包含六个维度极化的框架，将在线气候变化极化重新概念化为多维现象。因此，通过找出文献中的空白，本文提出了未来的研究议程。本文分类为：气候变化的感知、行为和传播>气候变化的传播感知、行为和传播>气候变化的感知、气候变化的行为和传播 > 行为改变和应对
