Description
Our meta-analysis examines the effect of information interventions on support for climate change mitigation policy. Invoking self-determination theory, we hypothesize that humans tend toward environmental preservation when their autonomy and relatedness needs are supported. We examine these needs as moderators of the information-policy support relationship.
