Pearson Exploring Science 9 Pdf

[Ping Weafer]

AdamPearson, PhD, is an associate professor of psychological science and a member of the graduate faculty in the School of Social Science, Policy, and Evaluation at Claremont Graduate University. His research explores how group processes impact environmental decision making and collective action.

Sustainability challenges like climate change are often characterized as collective action problems, however, beyond political influences, we know surprisingly little about how group dynamics influence how people think about these issues. Work in Professor Pearson's lab seeks to understand factors that make intergroup cooperation challenging for majority and minority groups, and the implications of these dynamics for addressing local and global sustainability challenges.

Current projects are exploring how race, ethnicity and social class influence political polarization around the issue of climate change, the impact of stereotypes and perceived norms on environmental decision making, public understanding of environmental inequities, and factors shaping public engagement with environmental organizations.

At Pomona, Professor Pearson teaches Social Psychology, Research Design and Methodology, and Climate of Change, a cross-disciplinary seminar on climate change and human behavior, co-taught with Professor Lelia Hawkins, a climate scientist at Harvey Mudd College.

He is a fellow of the Society of Experimental Social Psychology and the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues, an associate editor at Group Processes and Intergroup Relations, and has received early career awards from the American Psychological Association and the Society for Environmental, Population, and Conservation Psychology. In 2019, he was a member of a Nature Sustainability expert panel that explored the role of behavioral scientists, architects and engineers in sustainable design, co-organized by the Center for Convergent Behavioral Science Initiative at UVA. His work has appeared in outlets such as TIME, The Boston Globe, Salon, New York Magazine, Huffington Post, NPR, and The Atlantic.

Married to a pediatrician, their pets are their kids. A mix of dogs, cats and birds rounds out their household and keeps them busy and entertained. They both enjoy traveling, especially to natural areas such as hiking in the White Mountains or exploring the jungles of Costa Rica. Dr. Pearson has always been interested in animals and science, and veterinary medicine allows her to be both a scientist and a teacher while spending every day with wonderful animals.

Sustainability challenges like climate change are often characterized as collective action problems, however, beyond partisan influences, we know little about how group dynamics impact how people think about these issues. Work in our lab is currently exploring how social identities, inequalities, and intergroup biases shape how people perceive and respond to environmental problems.

Race and income in the US predict exposure to a wide range of environmental hazards linked to persistent health disparities; yet, low-income communities and many communities of color remain underrepresented in environmental sciences, advocacy organizations, federal agencies, and other key decision-making bodies. With collaborators at Cornell and the Environmental Defense Fund, we are currently exploring psychological factors that may contribute to these disparities, such as pervasive racial, ethnic, and class stereotypes that may fuel misperceptions of who is concerned about the environment and may lead organizations to overlook minority and low-income groups in their advocacy, outreach, and policymaking (see here, here, and here).

In work with collaborators at the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, we have explored implications of these divergent perceptions for the U.S. political divide. Aggregating over a decade of nationally representative survey data, we have found that political polarization around climate change is weaker among low-income communities and communities of color, who are more likely to view climate change as a threat to themselves and their communities (e.g., Ballew et al., 2020; Ballew et al., 2021, Pearson et al., 2021; Schuldt & Pearson, 2016; Pearson et al., 2017).

We have developed a conceptual framework for understanding how both individual (e.g., cognitive biases) and group-level (intra- and inter-group) processes shape how people perceive and respond to climate change which is guiding new empirical work in this area (Pearson et al., 2016).
