|a This article explores how affective image associations to global warming have changed over
time. Four nationally representative surveys of the American public were conducted between
2002 and 2010 to assess public global warming risk perceptions, policy preferences, and behavior.
Affective images (positive or negative feelings and cognitive representations) were
collected and content analyzed. The results demonstrate a large increase in “naysayer” associations,
indicating extreme skepticism about the issue of climate change. Multiple regression
analyses found that holistic affect and “naysayer” associations were more significant predictors
of global warming risk perceptions than cultural worldviews or sociodemographic variables,
including political party and ideology. The results demonstrate the important role affective
imagery plays in judgment and decision-making processes, how these variables change
over time, and how global warming is currently perceived by the American public. |
