Blueprint of a smokescreen: Introducing the validated climate disinformation corpus for behavioural research on combating climate disinformation

British Journal of Psychology, Volume 117, Issue S1, Page S65-S89, September 2026.
Abstract Behavioural science research has the potential to develop evidence‐based strategies to fight disinformation about climate science and climate mitigation action; however, this research has yet to be conducted systematically with validated sets of climate disinformation stimuli. Here, we present the Climate Disinformation Corpus, a collection of

Fighting fire with fire: Prebunking with the use of a plausible meta‐conspiracy framing

British Journal of Psychology, Volume 117, Issue S1, Page S113-S136, September 2026.
Abstract Prebunking can be used to pre‐emptively refute conspiracy narratives. We developed a new approach to prebunking – fighting fire with fire – which introduces a plausible ‘meta‐conspiracy’ suggesting that conspiracy theories are deliberately spread as part of a wider conspiracy.

Sampling and processing of climate change information and disinformation across three diverse countries

British Journal of Psychology, Volume 117, Issue S1, Page S90-S112, September 2026.

Not that different after all: Pro‐environmental social norms predict pro‐environmental behaviour (also) among those believing in conspiracy theories

British Journal of Psychology, Volume 117, Issue S1, Page S176-S200, September 2026.
Abstract Social norms are powerful predictors of pro‐environmental behaviour. At the same time, conspiracy beliefs are prevalent that can reduce individuals' efforts to act pro‐environmentally and might impede the influence of social norms. Across three cross‐sectional studies in three countries (Germany, UK, US; total N = 1037), we investigated the ...

British Journal of Psychology, Volume 117, Issue S1, Page S33-S64, September 2026.
Abstract In the current research, we use network analysis to examine the structure, ideological foundations and correlates of climate change conspiracy theories, distinguishing between denialist and warmist beliefs. Denialist beliefs, typically endorsed on the political right, claim that climate change is exaggerated, whereas warmist beliefs, more ...
