how climate friendly behavior relates to moral identity and identity protective cognition evidence from the european Social Surveys
Ecological Economics, 2021Co-Authors: Heinz WelschAbstract:Abstract The paper studies the role for climate-friendly behavior of individuals' moral identity, conceptualized in terms of the moral foundations identified by moral psychologists (Care, Fairness, Liberty, Loyalty, Authority, and Sanctity). Two relationships are distinguished: a direct relationship between moral identity and behavior at given cognitions of climate change impacts and effectiveness of individual action, and an indirect relationship through an association between moral identity and these cognitions. Using data from the European Social Surveys, the paper finds that endorsement of the individual-focused (universalist) moral foundations (Care, Fairness, Liberty) and endorsement of the group-focused (parochial) moral foundations (Loyalty, Authority, Sanctity) are both related to climate friendly behavior through the direct channel, the former 1.5 times stronger than the latter. In addition, individual-focused moral foundations are related to climate-friendly behavior through their association with the cognition of bad impacts of climate change and of effectiveness of own action. The indirect relationships amount to up to one third of the direct relationships. While being of a correlational nature, the findings are consistent with the idea that individuals' moral identity may influence climate-friendly behavior both directly and indirectly, by shaping behavior-relevant cognitions.

how climate friendly behavior relates to moral identity and identity protective cognition evidence from the european Social Surveys
2020Co-Authors: Heinz WelschAbstract:The paper studies the role for climate-friendly behavior of individuals’ moral identity, conceptualized in terms of the moral foundations identified by moral psychologists (Care, Fairness, Liberty, Loyalty, Authority, and Sanctity). Two channels of influence are distinguished: a direct influence of moral identity at given cognitions of climate change impacts and effectiveness of individual action, and an indirect influence through the effect of moral identity on these cognitions. Using data from the European Social Surveys, the paper finds that endorsement of the individual-focused (universalist) moral foundations (Care, Fairness, Liberty) and endorsement of the group-focused moral foundations (Loyalty, Authority, Sanctity) both foster climate friendly behavior through the direct channel, the former 1.5 times stronger than the latter. In addition, individual-focused moral foundations enhance climate-friendly behavior by fostering the cognition of bad impacts of climate change and of effectiveness of own action. The indirect effect amounts to up to one third of the direct effect. Results suggest that climate-friendly behavior is to a considerable extent a matter of moral factors rather than consequentialist (benefit-cost) considerations.

terrorism and political attitudes evidence from european Social Surveys
National Bureau of Economic Research, 2021Co-Authors: Giovanni Peri, Daniel I Rees, Brock SmithAbstract:Since the turn of the last century, nationalistic political parties have been gaining support in Europe. Over the same period, terror attacks have increased. Using data from European Social Surveys (ESS), we examine the effects of terror attacks involving at least one fatality on attitudes towards immigrants and government institutions. Comparing within-country responses to the ESS shortly before and after fatal terror attacks, we find little evidence of a shift in attitudes against immigrants. Consistent with “rally-around-the flag” effects documented by political scientists, ESS respondents living in the region that was attacked tend to express more trust in parliament and more satisfaction with the national government in the post- as compared to the pre-attack period. Similarly, we find evidence that particularly salient terror attacks can produce nationwide rally-around-the-flag effects.

external quality control for dried blood spot based c reactive protein assay experience from the indonesia family life survey and the longitudinal aging study in india
Biodemography and Social Biology, 2015Co-Authors: Elizabeth H Herningtyas, Varsha Kale, Arun Risbud, Jinkook Lee, David E Bloom, Eileen M Crimmins, Heather Mccreath, John Strauss, Jennifer C Obrien, Teresa E SeemanAbstract:Measurement of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation, in dried blood spots has been increasingly incorporated into community-based Social Surveys internationally. Although the dried blood spot-based CRP assay protocol has been validated in the United States, it remains unclear whether laboratories in other less-developed countries can generate CRP results of similar quality. We therefore conducted external quality monitoring for dried blood spot-based CRP measurement for the Indonesia Family Life Survey and the Longitudinal Aging Study in India. Our results show that dried blood spot-based CRP results in these two countries have excellent and consistent correlations with serum-based values and dried blood spot-based results from the reference laboratory in the United States. Even though the results from duplicate samples may have fluctuations in absolute values over time, the relative order of C-reactive protein levels remains similar, and the estimates are reasonably precise for population-based studies that investigate the association between socioeconomic factors and health.
