In a recent article, van der Linden, Maibach, and Leiserowitz ([2019]. Exposure to Scientific Consensus Does Not Cause Psychological Reactance.  Environmental Communication , 1–8) claim that exposure to a consensus message on climate change does not cause psychological reactance. In doing so, they provide a critique and “replication” of our recently published study which found evidence to the contrary (Ma, Dixon, &amp; Hmielowski, 2019. Psychological Reactance From Reading Basic Facts on Climate Change: The Role of Prior Views and Political Identification.  Environmental Communication ,  13 (1), 71–86). We address key shortcomings of their findings – the most significant of which is their study’s lack of an appropriate control group and problematic measure for psychological reactance – while also responding to their specific critiques of our study. When accounting for these shortcomings, their findings resemble ours: climate change skeptics and Republicans strongly believe that a consensus message about climate change is manipulative. We find their emphatic statement that “exposure to scientific consensus does not cause psychological reactance” to be directly challenged by their own findings and impossible to test given their study’s design.
