Climate Change Narrative Persuasion Experiment Data from Italy

143 Italian participants were randomly assigned to read first-person or third-person climate narratives in an online experiment. Measures of transport, identification, affect, eco-anxiety, empathy, and post-exposure climate attitudes were collected. The dataset likely contains the results of correlation and regression analyses showing identification as a key predictor of pro-climate attitudes.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between narrative voice and climate attitude change based on the experimental group assignment
• Model the predictive power of character identification on pro-climate attitudes based on the regression analysis results
• Study the moderating effects of eco-anxiety and empathy on persuasive outcomes based on the individual predisposition measures

Strengths

• Data from a controlled online experiment with 143 participants
• Includes measures for multiple psychological constructs: transport, identification, affect, eco-anxiety, empathy, and climate attitudes

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
