Das wird immer wieder weltweit bestätigt, hier aktuell bei uns in 🇩🇪: die Mehrheit der Menschen wünscht sich mehr Klimaschutz! Denn wir haben die Lösungen, aber wir verlieren gerade den Wettlauf gegen die Zeit für eine lebenswerte Zukunft. table.media/berlin/news/...

Mehrheit der Deutschen: Bund unternimmt bei Klimapolitik zu wenig

⭐ After quite some time in the making, I’m excited to share our new paper!🌿⭐ We examined people's climate-relevant behaviors (driving, air travel, public transport use, and meat consumption) and their perceptions of how feasible it would be to change them (+ expected wellbeing impacts). 🧵(1/4)

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Further robust evidence suggesting green nudges at the individual level are unlikely to make a difference. As we recently suggested, it is time to abandon the prevailing success focus and rather think of this body of evidence as pointing to the many structural constraints people are facing, and

What a great end of a fantastic #FGSP2025 conference @ruhr-uni-bochum.de organized by @hansalves.bsky.social and @wilhelmhofmann.bsky.social. We will give our best to organize a similarly good #FGSP3027 conference in Lüneburg @leuphana.bsky.social in 2 years.

Welcome to Bochum everyone! 🩷 We’re thrilled to see so many of you at the 19th conference of the Social Psychology Section — ready to share ideas, connect, and maybe even fall in love with a little brutalist concrete charm 🧱✨ #FGSP2025

We always get asked, "What can I *personally* do to help address climate change?" Sadly, there hasn't been a very good answer to this question. Previous guides often treated people as monoliths, giving them a one-size-fits-all answer. But that's changed now. Enter SHIFT. jointheshift.earth

📢 New commentary out today in Nature Human Behaviour! We argue that behavior change interventions often suffer from a one-sided success focus. But failures may reveal structural barriers people face. 🔗 rdcu.be/ex8hR #BehavioralScience #PublicPolicy

Am 14. September gibt es in Bochum eine Abendrevue zu Verschwörungserzählungen, die ich mit @pialamberty.bsky.social und @lpummerer.bsky.social gestalte unter Mitwirkung von @tobiasrothmund.bsky.social und sekten-info-nrw.de. Tickets sind begrenzt und unter dem Link bestellbar.

🪧New Preprint led by @saschakuhn.bsky.social on the connection between climate policy support and macro- (country-level) variation in e.g., economic freedom, per capita emissions, income inequality, and climate vulnerability, building on data from the Many Labs Climate Project!

Sascha Kuhn@saschakuhn.bsky.social · last yr.

🧵New preprint out: How do macro-level structures shape public acceptance of climate policies? We explore this question using the ICPC #ManyLabs data across 63 countries. Beyond individual beliefs, how do structural conditions like inequality, fossil dependence, or neoliberalism shape support? [1/]

Schade, dass wir uns mehr Klimaschutz nicht leisten können, weil dafür muss erst die Wirtschaft laufen, und die läuft halt nicht so gut, unter anderem, weil es mit dem Klima nicht so läuft.

Das Deutschlandticket ist für viele junge Menschen zu teuer geworden – das zeigt der deutliche Rückgang bei den Abo-Zahlen. Dabei war das Ticket ein großer Erfolg: Es hat Bus und Bahn auch für Auszubildende, Studierende und Menschen mit geringem Einkommen bezahlbar gemacht. (1/3)

🪧New preprint out: "Politicians underestimate support for climate action even more than the general public" osf.io/preprints/os... Pluralistic ignorance - citizens underestimating others' climate concerns - is well documented. But what about policymakers in office?🏛️🤔 A short thread 🧵

Wir haben 1.014 Bürgergeldbeziehende befragt – als Gegengewicht zu einer Politik, die lieber über statt mit Menschen spricht. Die Ergebnisse haben wir heute auf der BPK vorgestellt. Hier geht es zur Aufzeichnungen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck_t...
