“…Allerdings erweist es sich dabei als problematisch, dass die meisten Wahrnehmungsuntersuchungen nur Momentaufnahmen darstellen und nur sehr wenige konsistente Langzeitstudien vorliegen. So können sich vermeintlich ausgemachte rückläufige Trends bei genauerer Betrachtung auch als bloße Schwankung erweisen (Ratter et al 2012 (Balgar und Mahlkow 2013;Christmann et al 2012;Heimann und Christmann 2013;Heimann und Mahlkow 2012 (Christmann et al 2014). In dieser Studie konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass Wahrnehmungsunterschiede von Klimarisiken größer sind als angenommen und dass lokale Vorstellungen über den Klimawandel in spezifische städtische Traditionslinien bzw.…”

“…O fato de que a atual crise ecológica exige mudanças não apenas políticas e econômicas, mas também culturais, tem levado muitos pesquisadores a investigar temas como: percepções sobre o ambiente (Gonçalves & Gomes, 2014;Peterlin, Kross, & Kontic, 2008;Ratter, Philipp, & Von Storch, 2012), níveis de preocupação ambiental (Alibeli & White, 2011;Dunlap, 1994;Feinberg & Willer, 2013) e influência dos valores e crenças na adoção de comportamentos mais sustentáveis (Best & Mayerl, 2013;De Groot & Steg, 2010;Harder et al, 2014). No entanto, muitos pesquisadores têm percebido que valores ecológicos, consciência ambiental e percepções favoráveis não se traduzem diretamente em comportamento ambientalmente responsável (Ester, Vinken, & Simões, 2004;Rodríguez-Barreiro et al, 2013;Tanner, 1999).…”

O CORPO E A ADOÇÃO DE PRÁTICAS SUSTENTÁVEIS RESUMOEste artigo busca investigar o papel do corpo na adoção de práticas sociais sustentáveis. Apoiando-se nas Teorias das Práticas Sociais, aponta para o papel da rotinização na manutenção de estilos de vida insustentáveis. Com base em um estudo de caso realizado em uma ecovila brasileira, demonstra que a existência de valores ambientais não leva as pessoas a automaticamente modificarem os seus comportamentos. A mudança das práticas cotidianas exige a modificação de hábitos e automatismos incorporados pela socialização na sociedade de consumo. A incorporação intencional de novas práticas é um processo que demanda tempo e um trabalho de percepção consciente, sendo facilitada quando existe um esforço explícito e articulado de mudança, compartilhado por um grupo social.Palavras-chave: comportamento ambiental; teoria das práticas sociais; ambientalismo; sustentabilidade; psicologia ambiental.

AbSTRACTThis article investigates the role of the body in the adoption of sustainable social practices. Based on Social Practice Theories, it indicates the role of routinization in the maintenance of unsustainable lifestyles. Grounded in a case study carried out in a Brazilian ecovillage, it shows that the existence of environmental values does not automatically lead people to change their behaviors. The transformation of daily practices demands a change in habits and automatisms embodied through one's socialization in the consumer society. The intentional embodiment of new practices is a process that demands time and a work of conscious perception, facilitated when there is an explicit and articulated change effort, shared by a social group.

“…In the case of a climate change event, the perceived social distance is reduced to the minimum: the individual becomes able to directly experience the impact of climate change on his/her life and on the community. Nevertheless, social closeness to climate change still represents an exception: surveys indicate that most people do not perceive themselves as climate change victims (Ratter et al, 2012;Myers et al, 2013). It has furthermore been demonstrated that perceiving climate change as a socially distant phenomenon hinders preparedness to act against climate change in terms of adaptation and mitigation (Spence et al, 2012).…”

Article HistoryThe usefulness of Construal Level Theory to understand how people mentally represent climate change has been recognized by a number of authors in recent years. Yet, empirical studies that analyse both psychological distance and construal levels of climate change are still rare. We fill this gap by investigating the perceived geographical, temporal and social dimensions of climate change and by analyzing the construal levels employed by the participants of our research. Participants comprise two groups of university students (in Taiwan and in Germany) that carried out a 10 Statements Test on climate change. Results suggest that climate change is still perceived as distant. Nevertheless, we identified differences between the two groups in the construal levels employed. We reflect on the role of culture in the choice of different construal, on the potentials of Construal Level Theory to systematically analyse individuals´ understandings of climate change and we illustrate the implications of our results for future climate communication strategies. Contribution/ Originality:This study is one of very few studies which have investigated cultural differences in construal levels and psychological distances of climate change. To do so, it provides in depth empirical analysis of climate change perception based on Construal Level Theory.
