This paper reviews motivations people experience about climate change and integrates recent findings into the BUCkET model of core social goals. We argue that environmentalism is not the main cause of thoughts or behaviors about climate change. Rather, the evolved social needs for Belongingness, Understanding, Control, self-Enhancement, and Trust are more practical intervention targets than the attempt to create environmentalist beliefs or identities. We used database searches to identify the key research areas on motivation and climate change and synthesized articles into the BUCkET model. This reveals some limiting assumptions of previous approaches and suggests the effectiveness of targeting existing motives rather than fostering new values or worldviews.
本文回顾了人们对气候变化所产生的动机，并将近期研究结果整合到核心社会目标的BUCkET模型中。我们认为，环保主义并非人们思考气候变化或采取相关行为的主要原因。相反，归属感、理解、掌控、自我提升和信任等进化而来的社会需求，比试图塑造环保主义信念或身份认同，是更具实际意义的干预目标。我们通过数据库检索来确定动机与气候变化方面的关键研究领域，并将文章综合纳入BUCkET模型。这揭示了先前方法的一些局限性假设，并表明针对现有动机而非培育新价值观或世界观的有效性。
