摘要：
We evaluated the short-term effects of transportation on efficacy beliefs and risk perceptions after exposure to a climate change documentary. Data were collected in randomized laboratory (N= 624) and online (N= 1,391) experiments. Participants watched one episode ofYears of Living Dangerouslyor a control video. Regression analyses assessed whether narrative transportation and/or political affiliation were predictive of outcomes. Transportation and political affiliation were significantly associated with efficacy beliefs and risk perceptions (p <.001). A significant transportation by political party interaction for efficacy beliefs (p <.01) and risk perceptions(p <.01) indicated that cross-party differences could be mitigated by higher levels of transportation.
