Area of Science:

  • Environmental psychology
  • Technology acceptance
  • Risk perception

Background:

  • Tampering with nature perception is a key factor in technology acceptance.
  • Understanding this construct is crucial for environmental technologies like geoengineering.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review research on the construct of "tampering with nature."
  • To identify factors related to tampering with nature perception.
  • To explore its influence on technology acceptance and risk perception.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review.
  • Analysis of existing research on tampering with nature.
  • Identification of related constructs.

Main Results:

  • Very limited systematic research exists on tampering with nature.
  • The construct is not clearly defined and lacks systematic operationalization.
  • Tampering with nature is often conflated with naturalness.
  • It appears related to naturalness, morality, and controllability.

Conclusions:

  • Future research should focus on defining and operationalizing "tampering with nature."
  • Understanding its relationship with naturalness, morality, and controllability is essential.
  • This knowledge is vital for assessing acceptance and risks of new technologies.
