我们测试了当前有影响力的理论的两个后果，该理论基于将气候变化适应视为在更广泛的经济社会政治安排的约束下应对不断变化的条件的局部调整的概念。这个概念没有给个人对气候变化的信念强度和适应能力留下明确的作用。其后果是：（i）暴露于气候变化并对气候变化敏感的个人所采取的气候变化适应行动在很大程度上不受其对气候变化的信念强度的影响；（ii）暴露于气候变化并对气候变化敏感的个人所采取的气候变化适应行动在很大程度上不受其对适应能力的信念强度的影响。使用的数据来自 2004 年对 1950 名瑞典私人森林所有者进行的调查问卷，假设他们面临气候变化并对气候变化敏感。人们发现，对气候变化的信念强度和适应能力是解释瑞典森林所有者之间观察到的适应差异的关键因素。 (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
We tested two consequences of a currently influential theory based on the notion of seeing adaptations to climate change as local adjustments to deal with changing conditions within the constraints of the broader economic-social-political arrangements. The notion leaves no explicit role for the strength of personal beliefs in climate change and adaptive capacity. The consequences were: (i) adaptive action to climate change taken by an individual who is exposed to and sensitive to climate change is not influenced to a considerable degree by their strength of belief in climate change and (ii) adaptive action to climate change taken by an individual who is exposed to and sensitive to climate change is not influenced to a considerable degree by their strength of belief in an adaptive capacity. Data from a 2004 questionnaire of 1950 Swedish private individual forest owners, who were assumed exposed to and sensitive to climate change, were used. Strength of belief in climate change and adaptive capacities were found to be crucial factors for explaining observed differences in adaptation among Swedish forest owners. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
