Psychological distance has long been regarded as a primary obstacle to driving pro-environmental changes. This study seeks to explore narrative attributes that can be strategically harnessed to solve the distal nature of climate change. By adopting a 2 (retrospective vs. prospective temporal perspective) × 2 (first-person vs. third-person narrator perspective) factorial experimental design, the findings suggested that climate change narratives in retrospective and first-person perspectives manifest superiority in reducing psychological distance, with narrative involvement as the explanatory mechanism. In addition, the two forms of narrative involvement, namely transportation and identification, play distinct roles in addressing various types of psychological distance.

识别气候变化叙事的活性成分：时间视角、叙述者视角和心理距离的模型

心理距离长期以来一直被认为是推动环保变革的主要障碍。本研究旨在探索可以战略性地利用的叙事属性来解决气候变化的远程性质。通过采用2（回顾性与前瞻性时间视角）×2（第一人称与第三人称叙述者视角）析因实验设计，研究结果表明，回顾性和第一人称视角的气候变化叙事在缩短心理距离方面表现出优越性，以叙事参与作为解释机制。此外，叙事参与的两种形式，即运输和认同，在解决各种类型的心理距离方面发挥着不同的作用。
