Cultures of trust and trust in science 信任文化与科学信任
IF 6.9 2区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-10-30 DOI: 10.1016/j.copsyc.2025.102204

Cultures of trust are characterized by norms that promote trusting behaviors and by the expectation that others will act in trustworthy ways. Trust in science is embedded within cultures, as perceptions of the trustworthiness of science, and scientists, are shaped by cultural contexts. Organizations often serve as the visible “face” of science, such that the presence or absence of organizational or institutional cultures of trust within scientific institutions functions as a proxy through which public trust in science is evaluated. Thus, in addition to personal characteristics, understanding trust in science requires attention to the interplay of societal, organizational, and institutional cultures that collectively shape how science and its representatives are perceived.
信任文化的特点是促进信任行为的规范,并期望他人以值得信任的方式行事。对科学的信任根植于文化之中,因为对科学和科学家的可信度的看法受到文化背景的影响。组织经常充当科学的可见“面孔”,因此,科学机构内组织或机构信任文化的存在或缺失充当了评估公众对科学信任的代理。因此,除了个人特征之外,理解对科学的信任还需要关注社会、组织和制度文化的相互作用,这些文化共同塑造了人们对科学及其代表的看法。

Cultivating new ways to trust science amid the rise of questionable health practices 在有问题的医疗实践中培养信任科学的新方式
IF 6.9 2区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-10-30 DOI: 10.1016/j.copsyc.2025.102207

Questionable health behaviors, such as intentional non-adherence to medical recommendations and the use of traditional, complementary and alternative medicine pose a global threat to public health. These behaviors do not reflect a mere dismissal of scientific authority, but rather a specific reconfiguration of epistemic trust, where selective scepticism is applied, marked by exaggerated doubt towards evidence-based authority and simultaneous uncritical acceptance of pseudoscientific claims. We review key psychological drivers of these behaviors - i.e. irrational beliefs - and different ways they interact with science. We then examine communication strategies that divert trust from unreliable sources and encourage trust in reliable ones. Understanding and reshaping the way dialogue and trust is cultivated is essential in countering the rise of questionable health practices.
有问题的健康行为,如故意不遵守医疗建议和使用传统、补充和替代医学,对公共卫生构成全球性威胁。这些行为并不仅仅反映了对科学权威的蔑视,而是对认识论信任的具体重新配置,其中选择性怀疑主义被应用,其特征是对基于证据的权威的夸大怀疑,同时不加批判地接受伪科学主张。我们回顾了这些行为的主要心理驱动因素——即非理性信念——以及它们与科学相互作用的不同方式。然后,我们研究了从不可靠来源转移信任并鼓励对可靠来源信任的沟通策略。理解和重塑培养对话和信任的方式对于应对问题卫生做法的增加至关重要。

What is trust (in science and scientists) and is it in crisis? 什么是信任(对科学和科学家)?信任是否处于危机之中?
IF 6.9 2区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-10-30 DOI: 10.1016/j.copsyc.2025.102201

Public trust in science and scientists contributes to important social beliefs and behaviours. Yet it is sometimes believed to be in crisis. This article reviews what trust consists of and how it is typically measured. Drawing on national and international survey data, it shows there is little evidence of a public crisis of trust. While there is evidence of a polarisation of trust in certain countries, this picture does not apply more widely. Nonetheless, initiatives to maintain public trust are important; but these should focus on scientists’ wider social position and roles rather than simply emphasising their competence. If there is a problem, it lies in the limited influence of scientific messages rather than in public distrust of scientists.
公众对科学和科学家的信任有助于形成重要的社会信念和行为。然而,它有时被认为处于危机之中。本文回顾了信任是由什么组成的,以及通常如何衡量信任。根据国内和国际调查数据,报告显示,几乎没有证据表明存在公共信任危机。虽然有证据表明,在某些国家,信任出现了两极分化,但这种情况并不适用于更广泛的地区。尽管如此,维持公众信任的举措很重要;但是这些应该关注科学家更广泛的社会地位和角色,而不是简单地强调他们的能力。如果有问题的话,问题在于科学信息的影响力有限,而不是公众对科学家的不信任。

Utilizing a psychological network approach to improve insights into science attitudes 利用心理网络方法提高对科学态度的洞察力
IF 6.9 2区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-10-30 DOI: 10.1016/j.copsyc.2025.102205

Positive public attitudes towards science are of pivotal importance in combating societal and environmental challenges. To better understand these attitudes, an integration of different research lines is needed. We argue that adopting a psychological network approach presents one viable way towards such integration. In this paper, we present a brief summary of the field's current research lines, explain the psychological network approach towards attitudes and how it can improve our understanding of science attitudes, and finally present an empirical case study to exemplify this network approach and its added value. Adopting the psychological network approach will improve our understanding of science attitudes, which will help inform theory as well as strategies for improving public attitudes towards science.
公众对科学的积极态度对于应对社会和环境挑战至关重要。为了更好地理解这些态度,需要整合不同的研究方向。我们认为,采用心理网络方法是实现这种整合的一种可行方法。在本文中,我们简要总结了该领域目前的研究方向,解释了态度的心理网络方法以及它如何提高我们对科学态度的理解,最后提出了一个实证案例研究来说明这种网络方法及其附加价值。采用心理网络方法将提高我们对科学态度的理解,这将有助于为改善公众对科学的态度提供理论和策略。

Mapping patterns of trust in science and scientists 科学与科学家信任的映射模式

Public trust in science and in scientists is often conflated, yet these are distinct concepts shaped by different factors. This review synthesizes recent scholarship to highlight three insights. First, separating trust in science (confidence in scientific claims) from trust in scientists (judgments of credibility and motives) can help resolve persistent inconsistencies across disciplines. Second, sociocultural and political environments exert stronger influences on trust than commonly acknowledged, explaining cross-national variation. Third, science is not monolithic: trust levels differ across domains and issues, partly due to politicization. The review identifies important gaps, including the need for multi-dimensional measures, globally comparative research, and strategies to convey uncertainty without eroding credibility. Addressing these challenges can help advance both theory and practice.
公众对科学和科学家的信任经常被混为一谈,但这是由不同因素形成的截然不同的概念。这篇综述综合了最近的学术研究,突出了三个观点。首先,将对科学的信任(对科学主张的信心)与对科学家的信任(对可信度和动机的判断)分开,可以帮助解决学科间持续存在的不一致。其次,社会文化和政治环境对信任的影响比通常认为的更大,这解释了跨国差异。第三,科学不是单一的:不同领域和问题的信任程度不同,部分原因是政治化。该审查确定了重要的差距,包括需要多维措施、全球比较研究以及在不损害可信度的情况下传达不确定性的战略。解决这些挑战有助于推进理论和实践。

Children's environmental subjective well-being: Considering the intersecting role of nature, inequalities, and community 儿童的环境主观幸福感:考虑自然、不平等和社区的交叉作用
IF 6.9 2区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-10-27 DOI: 10.1016/j.copsyc.2025.102200

Children's engagement with nature enhances their well-being at both individual and community levels, yet systemic inequalities within local contexts shape children's access, proximity, quality, and safety in natural spaces. Research shows that children's understandings of nature and community are formed through their access to these spaces during their formative years. This article examines environmental subjective well-being (ESWB), an emerging interdisciplinary focus that captures the benefits of children's interactions with the natural environment and their influence on subjective well-being from a child-centred perspective. Understanding ESWB requires a nuanced contextualisation of place and inequality. We synthesise current evidence on children's engagement with nature in community settings and identify priorities for future research. We position children's engagement with nature as a social justice and children's rights imperative, with implications for policy and practice globally, particularly for the Global South.
儿童与自然的接触提高了他们在个人和社区层面的福祉,但当地环境中的系统性不平等影响了儿童在自然空间中的可及性、接近性、质量和安全性。研究表明,儿童对自然和社区的理解是通过他们在成长时期进入这些空间而形成的。本文探讨了环境主观幸福感(ESWB),这是一个新兴的跨学科焦点,从以儿童为中心的角度捕捉儿童与自然环境互动的好处及其对主观幸福感的影响。理解ESWB需要对地点和不平等进行细致入微的语境化。我们综合了目前关于儿童在社区环境中与自然接触的证据,并确定了未来研究的优先事项。我们将儿童与自然的接触定位为社会正义和儿童权利的必要条件,对全球,特别是对全球南方国家的政策和实践具有影响。

Nature connectedness, which refers to the subjective sense of one's relationship with the natural world, is a multidimensional construct encompassing emotional, cognitive, and experiential ties, closely linked to personal and collective well-being. Strengthening this connection, especially among children and young people, requires active involvement in the places where they live and act. This article reviews evidence on two main areas: (1) immersive and regenerative experiences in natural contexts, and (2) nature contact in urban contexts. Across both domains, participatory methods, such as Youth Participatory Action Research and Photovoice, emerge as a transversal approach that transforms individual experiences into shared responsibilities, fostering ecological citizenship, community belonging, and sustainable, locally rooted relationships with nature.
自然连通性,指的是一个人与自然世界关系的主观感觉,是一个多维的结构,包括情感、认知和经验联系,与个人和集体福祉密切相关。加强这种联系,特别是在儿童和青年之间,需要在他们生活和行动的地方积极参与。本文回顾了两个主要领域的证据:(1)自然环境中的沉浸式和再生体验;(2)城市环境中的自然接触。在这两个领域,参与式方法,如青年参与式行动研究和Photovoice,作为一种横向方法出现,将个人经验转化为共同的责任,促进生态公民,社区归属感和可持续的,根植于当地的与自然的关系。

Beyond serenity: Adverse effects of meditation and mindfulness in clinical practice 超越宁静:冥想和正念在临床实践中的不利影响
IF 6.9 2区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-10-17 DOI: 10.1016/j.copsyc.2025.102197

Despite the growing popularity of mindfulness, mindfulness-based programs (MBPs), and meditation, potential harms have largely been overlooked. Recent studies reveal that 25–87 % of those who engage in meditation report adverse effects (AEs), with 3–37 % experiencing functional impairment (e.g., inability to work). It remains unclear to what extent AEs reflect transitory discomfort vs. lasting harm. Common AEs include anxiety, depression, and traumatic re-experiencing. Factors such as retreat attendance and pre-existing mental health conditions may increase the risk of AEs, though causality remains unclear. The review emphasises the need for thorough screening, informed consent, and ongoing monitoring in clinical practice. Recommendations include setting clear expectations, offering psychoeducational support, and adapting interventions when necessary and where appropriate. By addressing these concerns, clinicians can better balance the potential benefits with the potential risks, ensuring more responsible implementation of mindfulness and meditation in mental health care and beyond.
尽管正念、正念课程(MBPs)和冥想越来越受欢迎,但潜在的危害在很大程度上被忽视了。最近的研究表明,参与冥想的人中有25 - 87%的人报告了不良影响(ae), 3 - 37%的人经历了功能障碍(例如,无法工作)。目前尚不清楚ae在多大程度上反映了短暂的不适和持久的伤害。常见的ae包括焦虑、抑郁和创伤性再体验。诸如参加静修和先前存在的精神健康状况等因素可能会增加ae的风险,但因果关系尚不清楚。该综述强调了在临床实践中进行彻底筛查、知情同意和持续监测的必要性。建议包括设定明确的期望,提供心理教育支持,并在必要和适当的时候调整干预措施。通过解决这些问题,临床医生可以更好地平衡潜在的利益与潜在的风险,确保在精神卫生保健和其他领域更负责任地实施正念和冥想。

Nuances in the memory undermining effects of EMDR and imagery rescripting EMDR和图像重写的记忆破坏效应的细微差别。

We reviewed the evidence on the memory undermining effects of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and imagery rescripting. Both therapies appear to undermine memory quality by making memories less vivid and emotionally-negative. Also, while eye movements used in EMDR seem to increase spontaneous false memories, they do not increase the susceptibility to suggestion. Inconsistent findings have emerged on the effects of imagery rescripting on false memory generation. Furthermore, a substantial number of clinicians who use EMDR strongly believe in the notion of repressed memory and EMDR has been associated with the occurrence of recovered memories. The belief in repressed memory might encourage suggestive therapeutic techniques, thereby increasing the risk of false memory creation. Overall, nuance is required on potential memory undermining effects of EMDR and imagery rescripting.
本文综述了眼动脱敏与再加工(EMDR)和图像改写对记忆破坏作用的研究进展。这两种疗法似乎都通过使记忆不那么生动和情绪消极来破坏记忆质量。此外,虽然EMDR中使用的眼球运动似乎增加了自发的错误记忆,但它们并没有增加对暗示的敏感性。关于意象重写对错误记忆产生的影响,已经出现了不一致的研究结果。此外,大量使用EMDR的临床医生坚信压抑记忆的概念,并且EMDR与恢复记忆的发生有关。相信被压抑的记忆可能会鼓励暗示性治疗技术,从而增加虚假记忆产生的风险。总的来说,EMDR和图像重写的潜在记忆破坏效应需要细微差别。

Universal school-based mental health interventions involve lessons delivered to whole classes of young people irrespective of need, with the overall aim of improving mental health literacy, preventing mental health problems and/or reducing those that have already started. A number of high-quality trials show that universal interventions can have a range of negative effects, with participants in the intervention group experiencing worsening mental health or other negative outcomes. In this review, we summarise what we know so far about these negative effects, which we refer to as ‘potential harm’. Two important questions remain poorly understood. First, the mechanisms driving potential harm are unknown, including whether negative effects are driven by reporting phenomena, the content of the intervention itself, or both. Second, individual differences in susceptibility to these effects is unclear. In the second half of the paper, we explore whether further universal trials should be run and argue that, if they are, the crucial issue of negative effects must be considered at all stages. In particular, we recommend that trials be designed in such a way to test mechanisms and individual differences in response. Information can then be provided to schools and policymakers about why young people might respond in different ways to an intervention, and how to support vulnerable students. Ultimately, this will lead to more effective and less harmful interventions for everyone.
普遍的以学校为基础的心理健康干预措施包括向整个班级的年轻人提供课程,无论他们是否需要,其总体目标是提高心理健康素养,预防心理健康问题和/或减少已经开始出现的问题。一些高质量的试验表明,普遍干预可能产生一系列负面影响,干预组的参与者会出现精神健康恶化或其他负面结果。在这篇综述中,我们总结了迄今为止我们所知道的这些负面影响,我们称之为“潜在危害”。两个重要的问题仍未得到充分理解。首先,造成潜在危害的机制尚不清楚,包括负面影响是由报告现象、干预本身的内容还是两者兼而有之。其次,对这些影响的易感性的个体差异尚不清楚。在本文的后半部分,我们探讨了是否应该进行进一步的普遍试验,并认为,如果是这样,那么在所有阶段都必须考虑负面影响的关键问题。特别是,我们建议以这种方式设计试验,以测试反应的机制和个体差异。然后可以向学校和政策制定者提供信息,说明为什么年轻人可能以不同的方式对干预作出反应,以及如何支持弱势学生。最终,这将为每个人带来更有效、危害更小的干预措施。
