This year's International Conference on Environmental Psychology was held under the theme “Addressing environmental crisis in the face of geopolitical challenges” and offered presentations, poster sessions and keynotes on current scientific developments in environmental psychology during the three-day program.
Dr. Fian's presentation introduced a study in which she and her colleagues investigated the effects of communicating scientific uncertainty on perceptions of health risks from microplastics and intentions to take countermeasures.
The results of the study show that communicating existing knowledge gaps in science is more conducive to perception and the intention to act than communicating a lack of consensus among experts.
The corresponding manuscript is currently in peer review.
Please note:
As in previous years, please be aware that there is another 2025 conference called the International Conference on Environmental Psychology (ICEP). It is scheduled for different dates and places. The conference is organized by WASET, an organization known for hosting “predatory conferences” (search in Google on “WASET scam”). We do not recommend it to anyone. The ICEP organized by WASET is not in any way connected to or endorsed by the IAAP, nor is it organized by any reputable environmental psychology group or international/European Association.
