Greta Thunberg Effect

 

Greta Thunberg-Wikipedia

The Greta Thunberg Effect is a willingness to become an activist.

The concept is based on a survey of more than 1,300 US adults. Those familiar with activist Greta Thunberg were more confident of their ability to work with others for climate change and more willing to perform activist actions like signing petitions and making donations.

The researchers clarify that they are not referring to a cause-effect relationship.
