“…Of particular importance for this paper is the recurrent finding that individuals with self-transcendent values engage more in climate-friendly behavior and policy support than people with self-enhancing values (Corner et al 2014;Nilsson et al 2004;Biel 2007, 2008;Poortinga et al 2004;Steg et al 2011; see also Leiserowitz 2006). Furthermore, research suggests that existing value orientations may interact with environmental information.…”

In the current research, we experimentally examined the effect of providing local or global information about the impacts of climate change on individuals' perceived importance of climate change and on their willingness to take action to address it, including policy support. We examined these relationships in the context of individuals' general value orientations. Our findings, from 99 US residents, suggest that different kinds of climate information (local, global, or none) interact with values vis-à-vis our dependent variables. Specifically, while self-transcendent values predict perceived importance and pro-environmental behavior across all three information conditions, the effect on policy support is less clear. Furthermore, we detected a Breactance effect^where individuals with self-enhancing values who read local information thought that climate change was less important and were less willing to engage in pro-environmental behavior and support policy than self-enhancing individuals in the other information conditions. These results suggest that policy makers and public communicators may want to be cognizant of their audience's general value orientation. Local information may not only be ineffective but may also prove counterproductive with individuals whose value orientations are more self-enhancing than self-transcendent.

“…Estas teorías han sido utilizadas ampliamente para abordar problemas claves de la dimensión humana con respecto al cambio climático: por ejemplo para entender la asi metría entre las intenciones de las acciones proambientales y su bajo impacto real (Whitmarsh, 2009), para explorar el rol de valores no ambientales (i.e., altruistas) en la adopción de estilos de vida más sustentables (Howell, 2013), o en el estudio de factores que incrementan la disposición para apoyar estra tegias para el cambio climático en general (Dietz, Dan & Shwom, 2007;Nilsson, von Borgstede & Biel, 2004). Es decir, se trata de modelos y conceptos que pueden contribuir sig nificativamente a mejorar el entendimiento de la compleja relación que las personas establecen con el problema incluyendo cómo lo perciben y el tipo de respuestas que implemen tan.…”

RESUMEnMúltiples estudios señalan que para abordar integralmente la problemática del cambio climá-tico es fundamental incorporar factores psicoló-gicos y sociales en el diseño, implementación y evaluación de estrategias de mitigación y adaptación. Estos factores resultan claves para incrementar la importancia del cambio climático en la agenda pública, favorecer un mayor involucramiento ciudadano y fortalecer la resiliencia individual, social e institucional, así como el im pacto de las políticas. No obstante, en Chile el estudio de los aspectos psicológicos del cambio climático es muy limitado.Por su extensión este trabajo se presenta en dos partes. En esta primera parte se pre senta una revisión bibliográfica que explora los principales ámbitos del cambio climático en los que la Psicología puede contribuir para comprender las complejidades del problema. Esto se organiza en cuatro grandes ejes: (1) la comunicación del cambio climático, (2) el estudio de cre encias, actitudes, valores y conductas relaciona das con el problema, (3) la identificación de facilitadores y barreras psicológicas para la implementación de prácticas de mitigación y adaptación y (4) los impactos del cambio climático en la salud mental. Estos ejes constituyen un marco de referencia para el posterior desarrollo de ámbi tos de acción que se apliquen específicamente al contexto chileno.Palabras clave: Cambio climático; Psicología, Chi le; Conductas pro-ambientales; Adaptación.

“…Both of these cars serve the same purpose; however, they appeal to consumers with different values, beliefs, and norms. Indeed, many studies have demonstrated the impacts of values, beliefs, and norms on various environmental behaviors (Stern and Dietz 1994;Stern et al 1999;Stern 2000;Nilsson et al 2004;Nordlund and Garvill 2002;Schultz et al 2005;Aguilar-Luzon et al 2012).…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the evolutionary development of green management. To do this, first, Kuhn's ''paradigm'' concept has been operationalized and the development stages of a movement of thought were determined. The green management is then scrutinized within the framework of each of these stages and the impacts of environmentalism in management research and practice are examined. It is concluded that the crises in normal science, existence of a scientific community, the presence of common beliefs, values and norms, and the increasing anomalousness are strengths of the green management. However, the core position of profit orientation in business strategies weakens the green management.
