Rezultati projekta DISINFO klima predstavljeni na International Psychological Applications Conference and Trends; Madeira, Portugal, 18.-20. 4. 2026.
Voditeljica projekta DISINFO klima (Institut Pilar NextGeneration EU) dr. sc. Renata Franc predstavila je poster-prezentacijom „Hierarchy over nature? Ecological dominance orientation and climate change“ (Franc, R., Neralić, M., Pavlović, T.) rezultate o odnosu sklonosti ekološkoj dominaciji (hijerarhijskom shvaćanju odnosa ljudi nad prirodom) sa stavovima o klimatskim promjenama (KP)
– InPACT 2026: International Psychological Applications Conference and Trends
Anketno pilot-istraživanje provedeno potkraj 2025. godine pokazuje da osobe sklonije ekološkoj dominaciji (i uz kontrolu efekata spola, dobi, političke orijentacije i religioznosti) pridaju manju važnost klimatskim promjenama, manje prihvaćaju realnost KP-a te su manje skloni promjeni ponašanja radi ublažavanja efekata KP-a odnosno prilagodbi promjenama. Sukladno tome, češće smatraju da osobno ne mogu učiniti ništa kako bih utjecale na klimatske promjene.
Navedeni rezultati ukazuju na važnost specifičnih ideoloških orijentacija, kao što je sklonost ekološkoj dominaciji, pri osmišljavanju intervencija i javnih politika s ciljem poticanja ponašanja za ublažavanje efekata klimatskih promjena i prilagodbe klimatskim promjenama.
Results of the DISINFO Climate Project Presented at the International Conference InPACT 2026 – International Psychological Applications Conference and Trends; Madeira, Portugal, 18-20/04/2026
Renata Franc, PhD, Principal Investigator of the DISINFO Climate project (Pilar Institute, NextGenerationEU) presented findings through a poster titled “Hierarchy over Nature? Ecological Dominance Orientation and Climate Change” (Franc, R., Neralić, M., Pavlović, T.). The study examined the relationship between ecological dominance orientation (i.e., a hierarchical view of humans over nature) and attitudes toward climate change.
A pilot survey conducted in late 2025 showed that individuals higher in ecological dominance orientation – controlling for gender, age, political orientation, and religiosity – attribute less importance to climate change, are less likely to accept the reality of climate change, and are less willing to change their behaviour in order to mitigate its effects or adapt to its consequences. Accordingly, they are also more likely to believe that they personally cannot do anything to influence climate change.
These findings highlight the importance of specific ideological orientations, such as ecological dominance orientation, in designing interventions and public policies aimed at promoting climate change mitigation and adaptation behaviours.
