The Climate Change Denial Scale was adapted to
Turkish. Moreover, group differences in climate change denial regarding gender
and educational level were investigated. Further, it was aimed to examine the
relationships between climate change denial, ecological belief in a just world
(EBJW), and social dominance orientation (SDO). The sample consisted of 275
participants aged from 18 to 78 years old (M =28.57, SD =10.36; 70.5% women).
The results revealed that there was a significant effect of education in
climate change denial scores. Participants with a postgraduate degree were less
likely to deny climate change than the participants who had a two-year degree
and were undergraduates. Further, results showed that climate change denial was
positively associated with both EBJW and SDO and SDO mediated the relationship
between EBJW and SDO. Implications are discussed.

Bu çalışmada, İklim Değişikliği İnkârı Ölçeği Türkçe
alanyazına kazandırılmış olup iklim değişikliği inkârının cinsiyete ve eğitim
düzeyine göre değişip değişmediği araştırılmıştır. Ayrıca, iklim değişikliği
inkârının ekolojik adil dünya inancı ve sosyal baskınlık yönelimiyle ilişkisi
incelenmiştir. Araştırmaya yaşları 18 ile 78 arasında değişen (Ortalama =
28.57, SS = 10.36; % 70,5’i kadın) toplam 275 kişi katılmıştır. Bulgular, iklim
değişikliği inkârının eğitim düzeyine göre değiştiğini göstermiştir. Lisansüstü
eğitim düzeyindeki katılımcıların iklim değişikliğini inkâr etme eğilimlerinin
önlisans öğrencisi, önlisans mezunu ve lisans öğrencisi katılımcıların
bulunduğu gruba oranla daha az olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca, iklim değişikliği
inkârının ekolojik adil dünya inancı ve sosyal baskınlık yönelimi ile pozitif
yönde ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür. Son olarak, sosyal baskınlık yöneliminin
ekolojik adil dünya inancı ve iklim değişikliği inkârı arasındaki ilişkide
aracı bir role sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Elde edilen bulgular alanyazın
ışığında tartışılmıştır.
