It would feel weird to not drive my car! Exploring the role of habits in public policy acceptance of carbon taxations.

This study aims to expand the understanding of public acceptance of carbon taxes by exploring the role of habits. Habits play a pivotal role in guiding our behaviors and reasoning and can even influence our self perception and identity but remain an underexplored variable in relation to public policy acceptance. We employed a large scale (N > 5200) national survey to measure public acceptance of higher carbon taxation in Sweden, also capturing car driving habits, car usage, and other relevant variables.

This review fills this gap by exploring the research about counteracting climate denial, the effectiveness and the intentions behind intervention.
