Documentary abstract — original language

Not-In-My-Backyard (NIMBY) facilities, often characterized by their negative externalities, are frequently opposed or resisted by the public. To examine the impact of information interventions on public acceptance of NIMBY facilities, a behavioral investigation experiment consisting of a survey of 100 college students before and after viewing negative videos of either environmentally polluting or psychologically excluding types of NIMBY facilities was conducted to assess the efficacy of these interventions in shaping public perceptions and attitudes. Differences in respondent's attitudes toward the types of NIMBY facilities demonstrated that the information intervention affected perceptions and attitudes toward NIMBY facilities. Changes in response variables for perceived risk, perceived benefits, self-efficacy, positive emotion label, social environment, and public acceptance showed that environmentally polluting NIMBY facilities elicited a more negative response than psychologically excluding NIMBY facilities. Postintervention, significant differences emerged across all six dimensions, and attitudes toward environmentally polluting NIMBY facilities became more negative than those toward psychologically excluding NIMBY facilities, with a significant increase in the perceived risk and a significant decrease in the perceived benefit. The study demonstrated that information interventions influenced attitudes toward NIMBY facilities, and that this influence differed between the two facility types.
