| Abstract | Previous scholarship on climate change beliefs has surfaced how they relate to communication networks about climate change. However, research on how these beliefs affect network characteristics is limited. This thesis examines the relationships among Metro Manila residents’ climate change communication networks and their exposure to information sources, social media use, and climate change positions. An online survey was administered (N = 316) along with 11 online interviews. Bivariate and multivariate tests revealed that exposure to information sources was associated with climate change positions and some network characteristics. Lastly, modelling results revealed that a wicked problem orientation was significantly and positively related to the likelihood of discussing climate change with their network, and a holist solution orientation was significantly and negatively related to network heterophily. Overall, the findings suggest the importance of exploring information sources and climate change beliefs in contextualizing climate change communication networks. |
