Data Call - Utopian Thinking Effects on Collective Action
09.09.2025, by Media Account
Call for unpublished data for a meta-analysis on the effects of utopian thinking on collective action (intentions)
Dear EASP members,
For a meta-analysis, we are looking for unpublished data from experiments that investigated the effects of utopian thinking on collective action (intentions) in the context of climate change. Specifically, we are looking for studies in which participants in the intervention group were asked to think about a utopian future or read about a utopia, and effects were tested against one or more control groups. The following dependent variables would be particularly relevant for the meta-analysis: collective action (intentions), collective efficacy, cognitive alternatives, and hope.
If you have unpublished data from a relevant study, we would be very grateful if you could send us the following information:
1) Brief description of the intervention and control conditions
2) N in intervention and control conditions
3) SD of the dependent variable(s) in intervention and control conditions
4) M of the dependent variable(s) in intervention and control conditions
5) Correlations between the dependent variables
Many thanks in advance and best regards,
Helen Landmann (Helen.Landmann@aau.at)
