摘要本文阐述了心理如何支配个体对风险的反应，强调了心理框架在选择适应路径中的重要性。来自开普敦旱灾(2015-2018年)的学术研究提请注意旱灾对公众心态的影响及其对旱灾的反应、过渡治理安排和离网应对以确保供水。这篇文章关注的是，对于通过离网方式获得水的私人参与者来说，哪些心态和行为可能没有改变。这是对占主导地位的抗旱言论的一种相反观点，但对于理解和规划未来的治理安排至关重要。虽然人们承认，转型框架已经从干旱中脱颖而出，并使新的路径成为可能，但当考虑到与传统或未转型的观点和行为相联系的门控行动时，文章质疑这种转变的分布和转型效应，这些行为本身奠定了富人的替代反应路径。突出传统框架管理私人对风险的反应。心态决定了可用的响应技术的选择。所选路径的范围表明了多元和不同的观点。私密的离网和门控回应对转变后的观点或行为提出了质疑。
Abstract Illustrating how mentalities govern private responses to risk, this article highlights the importance of mental frames in the selection of adaptation pathways. Scholarship emanating out of the Cape Town drought (2015–2018) has drawn attention to the effect of the drought on public mentalities and their response to the drought, transitional governance arrangements and off-grid responses to secure water supply. This article focusses on what mentalities and behaviors may not have changed for private actors that secured water through off-grid means. This is a contrarian view to the dominant drought response discourse, yet critical for understanding and charting future governance arrangements. While it is acknowledged that transforming frames have emerged from the drought and are enabling novel pathways, the article questions the distributional and transition effect of such shifts when considering gated actions that link with conventional or untransformed views and behaviors which themselves entrench alternative response pathways for the affluent. Highlights Conventional frames govern private responses to risk. Mentalities drive the selection of available response technologies. Range of selected pathways indicate plural and differential views. Private off-grid and gated responses contest transformed views or behaviors.
