气候变化可以通过社会结构条件的变化（如资源稀缺、移民）增加社会的冲突倾向。我们提出了气候变化威胁的一个额外的、微妙的、普遍的影响，即专制态度的增加。德国和英国的三项研究支持了这一观点。提醒与会者气候变化可能对其国家造成的不利后果，增加了对可能威胁集体的社会群体（例如罪犯）的贬损以及普遍的专制态度。突出的气候变化威胁也导致那些对其国家高度认同的人的系统辩护和系统支持团体（如法官）的批准。我们讨论了这些发现对解释专制态度的影响，以及社会如何应对气候变化微妙的社会心理影响的问题。(C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Climate change can increase societies' propensity to conflict by changes in socio-structural conditions (e.g., resource scarcity, migration). We propose an additional, subtle, and general effect of climate change threat via increases in authoritarian attitudes. Three studies in Germany and the UK support this suggestion. Reminding participants of the adverse consequences climate change may have for their country increased the derogation of societal groups that may threaten the collective (e.g., criminals) as well as general authoritarian attitudes. Salient climate change threats also led to system justification and approval of system supporting groups (e.g., judges) in those people who were highly identified with their nation. We discuss the implications of these findings for the explanation of authoritarian attitudes and the question of how societies may cope with the subtle social psychological effects of climate change.
