Climate change is one of the most defining and urgent issues of this century, which requires immediate action from various stakeholders. Considering the multifaceted nature of climate change, effective public engagement will be critical to address this issue. Thus, increasing our understanding of how best to communicate with the public about climate change to increase support for addressing the issue is of particular importance. Based on various theoretical frameworks that have placed efficacy as a central motivator for human engagement, this dissertation examines the role of efficacy perceptions in climate change communication. Particularly, through a series of three empirical studies, this dissertation distinguishes between efficacy constructs that have often been conflated with each other (e.g., self-efficacy, personal outcome expectancy, collective efficacy, collective outcome expectancy) and examines their potentially differing roles in climate change communication and climate engagement.The first study uses a multi-national dataset from the European Social Survey to examine the associations between four different types of efficacy constructs and people's intentions to engage in support for climate policies and energy conservation efforts. The second study develops a valid and concise multi-construct scale of climate change efficacy perceptions in the general and political domains, respectively. The last study investigates the effects that exposure to climate change images have on efficacy perceptions, defensive avoidance responses, and, ultimately, support for climate policies through an online survey embedded experiment. This study integrates different theoretical propositions of fear control and examines a modified model of fear control.Through the three studies, this dissertation demonstrates the importance of distinguishing the different types of constructs from each other when seeking to understand the role of efficacy in climate engagement. Certain efficacy constructs tend to have a more central role than others. Beliefs in the effectiveness of collective and governmental actions (collective outcome expectancy and governmental outcome expectancy) tend to be more pivotal to increasing public support for climate policies, while visual communication efforts tend to mostly influence perceptions regarding the effectiveness of personal actions (personal outcome expectancy). By developing a concise scale that can measure the different efficacy constructs, this dissertation also offers a tool that enables future research to further investigate these topics in a systemic and reliable manner. Overall, this dissertation demonstrates the importance of distinguishing between efficacy constructs and helps identify the role that these distinct efficacy constructs play in effective climate change communication.
