未能通过采取政策、技术和改变生活方式来减少温室气体排放，已经将世界推向危机的边缘，甚至可能超越危机。在这里，我们通过网络调查来试图通过研究影响个人节能行为采用的因素以及为他人提出的节能目标的认可来了解这些失败。我们展示了自我目标和他人目标之间的不对称（“我做容易的事，你做难的事”），但我们表明，这种不对称部分是由行动者/观察者差异产生的：人们知道他们已经在做什么（通常不会把这些行动作为个人目标），也知道他们自己的情境限制是行动的障碍。然而，我们也表明，对保护目标的认可随着感知难度的增加而急剧下降；这表明动机认知的作用是保护的障碍：困难的事情被认为不太适用于一个人的情况。
Failures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by adopting policies, technologies, and lifestyle changes have led the world to the brink of crisis, or likely beyond. Here we use Internet surveys to attempt to understand these failures by studying factors that affect the adoption of personal energy conservation behaviors and also endorsement of energy conservation goals proposed for others. We demonstrate an asymmetry between goals for self and others (“I’ll do the easy thing, you do the hard thing”), but we show that this asymmetry is partly produced by actor/observer differences: people know what they do already (and generally do not propose those actions as personal goals) and also know their own situational constraints that are barriers to action. We also show, however, that endorsement of conservation goals decreases steeply as a function of perceived difficulty; this suggests a role for motivated cognition as a barrier to conservation: difficult things are perceived as less applicable to one’s situation.
