We examine psychological mediating mechanisms to promote ocean health among the U.S. public. Ocean acidification (OA) was chosen as the focus, as experts consider it as important as climate change with the same cause of humanity’s excessive carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, but it is lesser known. Empathy is a multi-dimensional concept that includes cognitive and emotional aspects. Previous literature argues that environmental empathy can facilitate positive behaviors. We tested the hypothesis that empathy affects beliefs and behavioral intentions regarding ocean health using the Health Belief Model. We found that higher empathy toward ocean health led to higher perceived susceptibility and severity from OA, greater perceived benefits of CO2 emissions reduction, greater perceived barriers, and keener attention to the media. Beliefs and media attention positively influenced behavioral intentions (e.g., willingness to buy a fuel efficient car). Theoretical and practical implications regarding audience targeting and intervention design are discussed.

There is a growing area of research investigating the relationship between hearing impairment and deprivation; However, this has not been investigated in New Zealand. This study used the Health Belief Model as a framework to investigate if men of high relative deprivation had barriers to seeking hearing services. Twelve participants were recruited and semi-structured interviews were conducted using the Hearing Beliefs Questionnaire. Overall, participants thought they were susceptible to hearing impairment and the impact of hearing impairment could be severe. All participants identified barriers to help-seeking for hearing services and amplification. Most participants believed that amplification would be beneficial, but only under certain conditions.
