After environmental framing they also indicated higher acceptability compared to the monetary framing or control group.
On the other hand, the determination of high concentrations is of particular importance in industrial and environmental frames.
We propose social representations theory as a novel way of understanding this cultural resonance of spatial and environmental frames.
Environmental framing of private-sphere behaviour can increase the disposition for further pro-environmental behaviour in the public sphere, e.g. policy acceptability.
In contrast, we find that media and key stakeholders in British Columbia focus more on economic frames of smart grid deployment (e.g. reducing electricity costs) than environmental frames (e.g. climate abatement).
Clients of a German energy provider were randomly assigned to continuously receive electricity saving tips with either monetary framing (saving potential in €) or environmental framing (saving potential in CO2).
This study reviews and explores the role of environmental framing in the socio-political acceptance of smart grid technologies by citizens, media, and key stakeholders, using the case study of British Columbia, Canada a low carbon electricity-based region where smart grid deployment has been mandated as part of climate change legislation.
In this sense, it is reductive to consider the importance of the studied single nucleotide polymorphism on SSc susceptibility only for its main independent effect, but it should more appropriately be viewed in the context of a broader gene-gene or gene-environmental frame.
By comparing these different aspects of socio-political acceptance, we suggest that key stakeholders seeking to deploy smart grid technology could better stimulate citizen support in certain jurisdictions by more actively using positive, pro-environmental frames and by better engaging with citizens earlier in the technology and policy design and deployment process.
We found evidence of environmental reference frame effects only when visual and vestibular cues were aligned.
When environmental programs frame their activities as being in the service of human wellbeing, social variables need to be integrated into monitoring and evaluation (M&E) frameworks.
