Abstract

Ideally, people are objective when they perceive risks and make decisions in climate and other domains. But psychological research suggests that this is not always how the human mind works. Examples in climate change and other politically charged domains will be considered along with evidence-based strategies that may help.

This event was part of the Climate Explorations series of events held during Fall 2014 and Spring 2015 to communicate the science of climate change and its impacts on the Central Ohio community.
