The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of attribution in climate change response behavior. A successful response to climate change requires the participation and cooperation of individuals. In order to participate and cooperate, individuals need to feel responsible for climate change issues, and this responsibility is related to the issue of attribution. Attribution is the question of who is responsible for a particular event. It is generally divided into internal and external attribution, which affects the behavior of individuals. This study is based on social survey data. In this study, individuals, prevate companies, governments and animals were set as the causes of climate change, the target of blame. Respnodents in survey were asked who is responsible for the climate change problem. These three attribution types were set as independent variables. The dependent variable is climate change response behavior, and the control variables are perceived risks and benefits, emotions, trust, and knowledge, which are components of the risk perception paradigm. In addition, attitudes, norms, and efficacy, which comprise the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), were set as control variables. This study will demonstrate your role in climate change action.
