“…The main argument for this gap is that behavior is only partially driven by attitudes and behavioral intensions but also by incentives and social feedback. If your own contribution is regarded by yourself and others as marginal and personal sacrifice will be quickly compensated by overconsumption by others it is unlikely that the behavior will follow the attitudinal direction 99,103. Preisendörfer and Franzen summarized the results of the studies on this subject as follows: ‘If there is a “quintessence of the debate so far” on the link between environmental awareness and environmental action, then it is that environmentally oriented attitudes and values have only a limited impact on actual environmental conduct … But on the whole, the effect of environmental awareness on environmental conduct can only be called moderate’104 (p. 243).…”

The social experience of risk is not confined to the technical definition of risk, that is, the product of probability and magnitude. What human beings perceive as threat to their well-being and how they evaluate probabilities and magnitudes of unwanted consequences is codetermined by values, attitudes, social influences, and cultural identity. This article introduces the social amplification of risk framework (SARF) and applies it to climate change. The SARF is based on the thesis that events pertaining to hazards interact with psychological, social, institutional, and cultural processes in ways that can heighten or attenuate individual and social perceptions of risk and shape risk behavior. Drawing upon the concept of social amplification of risk, this article investigates the mechanisms of amplification and attenuation in the climate change debate: it focuses first on the micro-sociological and psychological literature on amplification and attenuation of individual responses (including behavior) in relation to climate change; and second on the application of functional resonance and common pool concepts to the intensity of societal concern and action, interpreted in the light of the SARF. 
