This review delves into the nuanced boundary conditions of social norms in fostering behavior change within the realm of climate action. Current research is examined within a “Sender - Message - Receiver (SMeR)" framework, which investigates factors such as group identification and group size that influence the effectiveness of social norms. Furthermore, it explores how cultural context, personal norms, emotions, and ambiguity shape individuals' responses to social norms-based messages. By illuminating these boundary conditions, the review provides insights into the complexities of social normative influence and offers guidance for designing more effective intervention techniques to promote behavioral change. Understanding these nuances is crucial for developing targeted strategies that resonate with diverse audiences and facilitate meaningful shifts toward a more environmentally sustainable future.

Why do individuals tend to discount bad news when making judgements about the likelihood of future events? In this short review, we explore recent research findings regarding this frequently observed and replicated phenomenon – optimism bias – with particular attention on how this bias affects the way individuals update or revise their beliefs. We begin by highlighting five interrelated frameworks for understanding optimism bias (utility maximization, active inference, dual systems, cognitive immunity, predictive processing). We then examine findings from affective and clinical domains that indicate that people with depression and other psychiatric disorders, as well as acutely sad or anxious individuals, have dampened optimistic bias when updating beliefs in response to good news. Finally, we consider the neural underpinnings of these phenomena through the free energy principle and discuss implications for clinical interventions and future research.

Hoarding disorder (HD) represents a growing public health burden. Although excessive saving is the cardinal feature of this disorder, hoarding is also typically characterised by excessive acquisition of objects, either passively or actively. HD and a related clinical condition, compulsive buying-shopping disorder, are particularly challenging to prevent and treat within the context of consumer society, which is marked by growing acquiring tendencies. Implicit approaches, including nudges, present an intriguing and potentially fruitful avenue to help address impulsive and excessive acquisition of possessions. In this brief review, we provide an overview of research on using nudges, boosts, and other implicit approaches to influence decision-making about possessions. We consider both general population-level approaches, as well as more targeted nudge strategies. We conclude by proposing opportunities for future research to address impulsive acquiring. General and targeted approaches may help to reduce societal and environmental impacts of consumerism, while simultaneously making a small but meaningful impact in the lives of HD patients and those at risk for developing the disorder.
囤积症（HD）对公共健康造成的负担越来越大。虽然过度储蓄是这种疾病的主要特征，但囤积症的典型特征也是被动或主动地过度获取物品。在消费社会的背景下，囤积症和与之相关的临床症状--强迫性购买-购物症--的预防和治疗尤其具有挑战性，因为消费社会的特点是购买倾向日益增长。包括 "暗示"（nudges）在内的隐性方法为帮助解决冲动性和过度购置物品的问题提供了一个有趣且可能富有成效的途径。在这篇简短的综述中，我们将概述有关使用暗示、激励和其他隐性方法来影响财产决策的研究。我们既考虑了一般人群层面的方法，也考虑了更有针对性的暗示策略。最后，我们提出了未来研究解决冲动性购置问题的机会。一般方法和有针对性的方法可能有助于减少消费主义对社会和环境的影响，同时对 HD 患者和有可能患上这种疾病的人的生活产生微小但有意义的影响。

Nudges are a cost-effective and scalable tool used to promote certain choices and have been applied across several domains, such as public health and policy and, more recently, mental health-related behaviors. The likelihood of individuals responding to a nudge (“nudgeability”) is affected by individual traits such as personality and gender. This review synthesizes the effects of personality traits and gender on decision-making and nudgeability. We provide future directions, which consider these effects when evaluating mental health-related nudging. The specific type of nudge and the behavior being nudged may be more important to consider when designing nudges, rather than general trends in how certain personality traits or genders respond to nudges.

A central challenge in mental healthcare is effectively disseminating accurate, evidence-based information to encourage behaviors that improve well-being. Nudges, though widely used, often yield small, short-lived effects in changing behaviors. An alternative approach, meta-nudging, uses social influencers to indirectly change beliefs and behaviors by shifting norms within a social group. Meta-nudging may hold promise as a less paternalistic and longer lasting method for promoting positive mental health behaviors. Though, the use of social influencers raises ethical considerations and measurement challenges. Future research should explore AI-generated influencers to enhance personalization and efficacy in promoting mental health.

This review discusses findings on the use of behavioral nudges in both the Canadian and U.S. military. To date, most of this research has focused on improving recruitment and healthy eating behaviors in military personnel. The current review also highlights important areas of future research, focusing on the role behavioral nudges could potentially play in curbing three pressing issues in the U.S. military: 1) recruitment, 2) health-related readiness of the military, and 3) suicide prevention. The review concludes with an overview of unique challenges this work may face in the military context as well as unique resources available for this research and implementation not likely accessible in civilian communities.

Individuals with substance misuse and substance use disorder (SUD) experience especially high rates of elevated anxiety, including anxiety disorders, and the co-occurrence of these conditions is related to worse treatment outcomes. Given that these patients may have little motivation to change their substance misuse if they use substances to cope with their chronically elevated anxiety, interventions that include components that target motivation may be especially useful. Thus, this paper reviews the recent extant literature on treatments developed specifically for these high-risk patients that include motivational interviewing (MI) techniques to increase motivation for behavioral change. Results indicate that two modalities have been tested – in-person therapies and online interventions. The majority use MI techniques to change substance use and some to change anxiety-related behaviors. The majority also incorporate cognitive-behavioral skills to manage substance use and anxiety. Data indicate that MI techniques can be administered in-person and online to decrease substance misuse and anxiety among patients with elevated anxiety and substance misuse.

This article selects recent developments within the research domain of disability in organizations, exemplified through rigorous and innovative studies. First, the interest in invisible disability types and intersectional approaches to disability is noted. Second, the expansion to stakeholders outside the firm is appraised and personal, organizational and societal aspects of managing disability at work are reviewed. Third, the growing critical analysis of segregated labor market systems and the continued focus on reasonable accommodations and ableist organizing within the integrated labor market are considered. Finally, a continued underrepresentation of research from the Global South and an increasing demand for researchers’ reflexivity with regard to their own positionality and disability status are discussed.
