摘 要: |
Public climate change awareness is indispensable to dealing with climate change threats. Understanding whether and how the COVID-19 pandemic impacts on individuals' climate change risk perception would thus be critical to green economic recovery. We conducted a longitudinal survey study in China when the pandemic was at its height and when it was mitigated. The cross-lagged analysis confirmed our assumed arousal effect of perceived COVID-19 risks on climate change risk awareness. We further tested and verified the proposed dual-pathway mechanisms of affective generalization (i.e., negative affective states aroused by COVID-19 spillover to the assessment of climate change risk) and cognitive as-sociation (i.e., the outbreak of COVID-19 awakens people's recognition of the human-nature-climate issues) via multiple mediation analyses. Our results implied that climate policies could be integrated into pandemic control, and that the public should be more awakened to confront multiple crises with proper guidance. |
