Social norms vary both in terms of their contents (e.g. don't talk to strangers, help the needy) and their strength. While most research focuses on the former, increasing evidence points to the relevance of the latter for norm change. Despite this potential, existing knowledge about norm strength is siloed into “macro” and “micro” perspectives, with the former studying aggregations of norms and the latter focusing on particular, individual, social rules. We argue that both approaches provide valuable insights into social norm strength. Using this reorientation, we integrate existing research strands and discuss foundational questions about the causes of social norm strength and its consequences for norm change, highlighting limitations and potential future directions.

Although the evidence-base for psychological treatments for pediatric chronic pain (CP) is promising, the rigor and quality of existing studies remains variable and psychological treatments for pediatric CP are often inaccessible to youth that may benefit. Persistence in the rates and devastating impact of chronic pain for children and adolescents suggests a need to improve both the quality and availability of psychological treatments for pediatric CP. This brief review aims to provide an overview of the primary developmentally tailored, evidence-based, psychological treatments for pediatric CP (e.g. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). We also highlight two requisite directions for future research and program development efforts on psychological treatments for pediatric CP: 1) optimizing and tailoring treatments for real world treatment settings in partnership with end users (i.e. youth, providers) and 2) addressing barriers at multiple levels which impact both the availability and accessibility of evidence-based psychological treatments for CP.

The widespread disregard for plant behavior is gradually being overcome through more inclusive theoretical approaches and the development of appropriate and advanced technologies.
In this paper we review scientific evidence on recent contributions to the study of plants, such as movement and communication as well as potential forms of attention. Some of the most recent contributions to the study of plant abilities come from comparative studies on biocommunication and research on the accuracy of plants in responding to different environmental stimuli through electrophysiological and kinematical analyses in different context (e.g., individual and social). Furthermore, an underexplored area that warrants further investigation is plants’ multisensory perception and its potential link to multimodal communication capabilities.
Research into this set of abilities could help to clarify the degree of behavioral flexibility in sessile organisms without a nervous system and enhance discussions on interactive behavior as expressed in nature. This, in turn, will help to bridge the gap between studies on animal organisms and the rest of the living world.

A growing body of experimental research provides evidence that linguistic frames influence human behaviour in economic games, beyond the economic consequences of the available actions. This article proposes a novel framework that moves beyond traditional outcome-based preference models. According to the LENS model, the Linguistic description of the decision problem triggers Emotional responses and suggests potential Norms of behaviour, which then interact to shape an individual's Strategic choice. The article reviews experimental evidence that supports each path of the LENS model. Furthermore, it identifies several critical research questions that arise from this model, pointing towards avenues for future inquiry.

Engaging with nature has been found to have a range of benefits across the biopsychosocial and spiritual domains of well-being. Nature-focused livestreams (NFLs) offer an alternative to physically engaging with nature and serve as a window to nature as society has become more urbanized and has increasingly moved indoors. In this brief review, we examine the role of NFLs in connecting people with nature and connecting people with each other. Emerging evidence suggests that NFLs can be effective in doing so, and that feelings of connectedness can, in turn, provide similar benefits found with physical engagement with nature, most notably greater emotional well-being and a sense of community. Future research should rigorously explore the potential of this technology-enhanced platform.

Although children are influenced by social norms from birth, they only begin to understand social norms as such in the three to five year age period. It is at this age that they begin to enforce conformity to social norms on others, even using the normative language of should, must, and ought to. By the end of this age period, they are even capable of creating new social norms (i.e., game rules) themselves, and they automatically see these as binding on everyone concerned, suggesting an understanding that the force of social norms comes not just from adult authority but also from agreement. Although particular social norms differ among cultures, it seems that children in all cultures are born with the same basic norm psychology.

Psychologically Informed Practice (PiP) is best understood as enhanced physiotherapy in which identification and management of psychological factors is central to reactivation. The PiP approach has been investigated in trials of stratified care linking psychological screening with targeted treatment, but there have been challenges in its implementation in routine musculoskeletal care. The possible reasons for this have been carefully explored and raise questions about both the adequacy of training and the feasibility of implementation of PiP in clinical practice. Recommendations are made for the further development of PiP, the management of psychological obstacles to recovery, and the role of psychologists in this process.
