Abstract

Considering the unprecedented threat that global warming poses, the independent research institution TNO, published under the title Climate Neutral Energy Scenario for the Netherlands proposed the TRANSFORM future energy scenario. The TRANSFORM scenario centers around envisioning a transition towards a sustainable and climate-neutral energy system. Public acceptability of this scenario could facilitate its implementation. This thesis investigated the acceptability of the TRANSFORM scenario via students’ ingroup identification and individual and group biospheric values. Additionally, the study explored the potential moderation effect (h4) of individual biospheric values on the relationship between ingroup biospheric values and acceptability. The results of our survey study (N = 323) support a positive association between ingroup identification among students and the acceptability of the TRANSFORM scenario. Furthermore, the acceptability of the TRANSFORM scenario was positively, however non significantly related to ingroup identification and ingroup biospheric values. Furthermore, the analysis revealed a negative and non-significant moderation effect, suggesting that individual biospheric values do not moderate the relationship between ingroup biospheric values and acceptability. Implications and limitations are discussed.
