Abstract
Human-caused climate change is an international crisis that will affect the lives of everyone across the globe. Though the result of human activities, many people perform environmentally friendly behaviours in the form of collective action participation to reduce the impact of human-caused climate change. The aim of our paper is to examine what motivates people to engage in collective action participation in the context of climate change and whether the perception of hope may moderate the relationship between moral conviction and collective action. Our study was conducted online via Academic Prolific and recruited 249 Americans. The results demonstrated that moral conviction is positively associated with collective action participation and hope is also positively associated with collective action participation; however, there is no significant interaction effect between the two variables. These findings indicate that hope plays a role in the relationship between moral conviction and collective action participation, but more research is necessary to determine the extent of this relationship. Keywords: moral conviction, collective action participation, hope, climate change
