Abstract in brief

The study explored how different types and tones of efficacy messages in climate change news stories influence people's beliefs about their ability to make a difference and their intentions to participate politically.
Findings showed that positive internal efficacy messages boosted people's confidence in their own abilities, while negative external efficacy messages decreased their belief in external systems' effectiveness.
Overall, beliefs about internal, external, and response efficacy were all positively linked to intentions to take political action on climate change, with positive internal efficacy messages especially effective in encouraging public engagement.]
