Happy to share my new study w/ Sol Hart in @ClimaticChange_. We experimentally tested the effects of news tweets that referred to either climate change, climate emergency, or climate crisis. link.springer.com/article/10…

Very proud of this new paper led by my advisee @afroozmsl. It tests how audiences react when the text and visuals in climate change news stories are incongruent (e.g., the text emphasizes the severe effects of heatwaves, but the visuals emphasize “fun-in-the-sun” beachgoing).

🌎 Our new paper on the image-text congruency of online climate change news and its effects is out by @jmcquarterly! @lfeldman17 and I introduce "perceived congruency" and argue that congruency is partially in the eyes of the beholder and may not be treated as a uniform concept.

We find that manipulated congruency has limited effects on people's attitudes and that *perceptions* of image-text congruency may matter more than actual congruency in shaping audiences’ understanding of and engagement with climate change news.

The latest peer-reviewed research, via @ClimaticChange_, indicating that (a) fear messaging on climate can backfire, and (b) urgency--as I always say--must be paired with agency.

We found that this terminology didn’t make much of a difference across various indicators of climate engagement. We found more consistent (but small) effects of whether news focused on climate impacts or actions. Full text access: rdcu.be/cBtSu @SpringerNature #scicomm

All the News That’s Fit to Click is officially OUT and in the world! There are many anticlimactic moments in academia, but I can now say that holding your own book in your hands isn’t one of them. 1/x press.princeton.edu/books/ha…
