The purpose of this study is to analyse social perceptions of CC in two natural areas of Spain (Garajonay and Sierra Espuña). Participants (N = 334) showed high levels of concern and low levels of scepticism about CC. A factorial model was developed to explain the relationships between variables that affect concern about CC: scepticism, technological optimism, negative self-efficacy, political ideology and perceived signs of CC. The SEM model (R2 = .65; χ2(df) = 223.65 (131); CFI = .968; RMSEA = .057) shows the strategic importance of considering the variables included (such as CC scepticism and technological optimism) so as to better understand the complex phenomenon of concern about CC. 000162376 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PGC2018-095502-B-I00 000162376 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000162376 592__ $$a0.291$$b2024 000162376 593__ $$aApplied Psychology$$c2024$$dQ3 000162376 593__ $$aEnvironmental Science (miscellaneous)$$c2024$$dQ3 000162376 593__ $$aExperimental and Cognitive Psychology$$c2024$$dQ4 000162376 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000162376 700__ $$aMoll, Adrián 000162376 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-3580-5947$$aCollado, Silvia$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000162376 700__ $$aSevillano, Verónica 000162376 700__ $$aMúgica, Marta 000162376 7102_ $$14009$$2740$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
