This study examined how chronic weather anomalies (i.e., temperature and precipitation deviations from long-term averages) and acute disasters (e.g., wildfires, hurricanes, floods) relate to individual pro-climate beliefs, postcode-level voting for climate-aligned parties, and solar panel installations (a proxy for pro-environmental behaviour) across Australia between 2013 and 2022. We found that long-term temperature deviations were positively associated with stronger climate change beliefs, whereas both above- and below-average rainfall showed small but positive associations with voting for the politically left-leaning parties and with solar panel installations. Acute disasters showed stronger associations, predicting greater belief in climate change, with significant effects observed when the disaster occurred further in the past. For voting, the pattern moved in the opposite direction, with the largest effects appearing when disasters happened closer to the election date and weakening as more time passed. In contrast, the association between acute disasters and solar panel installations was negligible, suggesting that disasters did not influence household adoption. Together, these findings suggest that while chronic weather deviations have small and inconsistent effects, acute one-off disasters show stronger associations with climate beliefs and voting. This pattern indicates that direct high-impact experiences can partly motivate climate awareness and action.

这项研究调查了2013年至2022年期间澳大利亚各地的慢性天气异常（即温度和降水与长期平均值的偏差）和急性灾害（例如野火、飓风、洪水）与个人的亲气候信念、对气候一致政党的邮政编码级投票和太阳能电池板安装（亲环境行为的代理）之间的关系。我们发现，长期的温度偏差与更强烈的气候变化信念呈正相关，而高于和低于平均水平的降雨量与政治上左倾政党的投票和太阳能电池板的安装都显示出虽小但正相关的关系。急性灾害表现出更强的关联，预示着人们更相信气候变化，当灾难发生在过去更远的地方时，就会观察到显著的影响。在选举方面，这种模式正好相反，当灾难发生在临近选举日期时，影响最大，随着时间的推移，影响减弱。相比之下，严重灾害与太阳能电池板安装之间的联系可以忽略不计，这表明灾害并不影响家庭的采用。总之，这些发现表明，虽然长期天气偏差的影响较小且不一致，但急性一次性灾害与气候信念和投票表现出更强的联系。这种模式表明，直接的高影响经验可以在一定程度上激发气候意识和行动。

The escalating threat of climate-related disasters is challenging vulnerable communities to adapt across the world. This study examined the relationship between people's sense of community (as assessed by perceived cohesion and identification) and their perceptions of adaptive capacity, along with the role that their willingness to include all stakeholders may play in moderating this relationship. Geo-targeted surveys were used to collect data from 363 participants affected by the 2019/2020 ‘Black Summer’ Bushfires in Australia. We found that increased community cohesion and identification were linked to greater perceived adaptive capacity, along with evidence that these relationships may depend upon attitudes towards accommodating diverse stakeholder interests, such that more positive attitudes strengthened some of these associations while less positive attitudes attenuated them. These findings highlight the fundamental social underpinnings of collective adaptative capacity for communities responding to the threat of future climate-related disasters.

与气候有关的灾害威胁不断升级，对世界各地脆弱社区的适应构成了挑战。本研究考察了人们的社区意识（通过感知凝聚力和认同来评估）与他们对适应能力的感知之间的关系，以及他们将所有利益相关者纳入其中的意愿可能在调节这种关系中发挥的作用。地理定位调查用于收集受2019/2020年澳大利亚“黑色夏季”森林大火影响的363名参与者的数据。我们发现，增加的社区凝聚力和认同与更大的感知适应能力有关，同时有证据表明，这些关系可能取决于对容纳不同利益相关者利益的态度，因此，更积极的态度加强了其中一些联系，而不那么积极的态度则减弱了它们。这些发现强调了社区应对未来气候相关灾害威胁的集体适应能力的基本社会基础。

Normative messages are an established way to promote pro-environmental behaviour. However, research examining the conditions under which such messages are effective predominantly focus on social rather than personal norms. As personal norms have been identified as a much stronger predictor of pro-environmental behaviour, the present study examined the mechanisms through which personal rather than social normative messages enable people to act in line with these norms. In two experimental studies (N = 200 and N = 249), in which normative messages and self-consciousness were manipulated, findings reveal that personal normative messages positively impact intentions to re-use hotel towels indirectly through one's green preference on both studies, and directly as well in Study 2. Furthermore, these (in)direct effects are negatively moderated through one's self-consciousness. These mechanisms through which personal normative messages vary in their effectiveness in promoting re-using towels, advances our understanding of how personal rather than social normative messages can be used to promote pro-environmental behaviour change.

规范信息是促进环保行为的既定方式。然而，研究这些信息有效的条件主要集中在社会规范而不是个人规范上。由于个人规范已被确定为亲环境行为的一个更强的预测因素，本研究考察了个人而不是社会规范信息使人们按照这些规范行事的机制。在两项实验研究（N = 200和N = 249）中，规范信息和自我意识被操纵，研究结果表明，个人规范信息通过绿色偏好间接地积极影响酒店毛巾的重复使用意图，在研究2中也直接影响。此外，这些直接影响是通过一个人的自我意识负向调节的。通过这些机制，个人规范性信息在促进毛巾重复使用方面的有效性有所不同，这促进了我们对如何使用个人而不是社会规范性信息来促进亲环境行为改变的理解。

The perceptions of the state as corrupt or captured by ‘fossil fuel’ or ‘green’ interests influence climate action. Yet despite its importance, there is limited research on how such perceptions are linked to mobilisation for environmental action, general perceptions of climate change and politics, and climate action intentions. We test these relationships with two datasets of participants living in Queensland (Australia), sampled at two timepoints. In both samples (Ns = 941, 765), we found significant relationships between perceptions of state capture and corruption and (1) mobilisation for environmental collective action, assessed through the constructs central to the Social Identity Model of Collective Action (SIMCA); (2) perceptions of threat caused by climate change; and (3) intentions for environmental action. We found these associations even when controlling for political orientation and perceptions of anomie (that is, perceptions of societal decay). These findings have important implications for understanding how beliefs about state functioning relate to attitudes and actions in the climate change context.

对国家腐败或被“化石燃料”或“绿色”利益所俘获的看法影响着气候行动。然而，尽管它很重要，但关于这些观念如何与动员环境行动、对气候变化和政治的一般观念以及气候行动意图联系起来的研究有限。我们用生活在昆士兰（澳大利亚）的参与者的两个数据集来测试这些关系，在两个时间点取样。在这两个样本中（Ns = 941, 765），我们发现对国家捕获和腐败的感知之间存在显著关系，并且(1)通过集体行动社会认同模型（SIMCA）的核心结构来评估环境集体行动的动员；(2)对气候变化威胁的认知；(3)环境行动意图。即使在控制了政治取向和对社会反常的看法（即对社会衰败的看法）的情况下，我们也发现了这些联系。这些发现对于理解气候变化背景下关于国家功能的信念与态度和行动之间的关系具有重要意义。

The global push for sustainable energy and green technologies intensifies to achieve ecological and energy transitions. A key part of this challenge lies in ensuring society accepts both emerging and already available technologies. This study unravels the psychological drivers behind why people embrace or reject renewable and sustainable energy technologies for mitigation and geoengineering for adaptation, spotlighting the powerful interplay of personal (moral) and social norms as well as affective responses to risks and benefits. Using a multi-method approach combining path and psychometric network analyses, the research examines how these factors influence public attitudes (acceptability) and intentions (acceptance). Findings highlight personal and social norms directly and indirectly (through acceptability mediation) influence acceptance (intention to support, use, and pay for the technologies). In contrast, affective responses directly influence the intention to support and indirectly (through acceptability mediation) influence the intention to use and pay for the technologies. Moreover, results reveal that geoengineering technologies rely heavily on perceptions of necessity to garner acceptance, whereas renewable and sustainable energy technologies elicit more complex affective and evaluative reactions, reflecting their greater diffusion and the more sophisticated cognitive and emotional appraisals people have developed toward them. The results demonstrate the importance of leveraging normative influence (personal and social), fostering positive affective engagement, and considering necessity a key driver of acceptance. This research advances the understanding of societal acceptance dynamics, offering practical strategies to target key social-psychological variables to overcome individual's barriers and facilitate the transition to sustainable energy systems and innovative technologies.

可持续能源和绿色技术的全球推动力度加大，以实现生态和能源转型。这一挑战的一个关键部分在于确保社会接受新兴技术和现有技术。这项研究揭示了人们接受或拒绝可再生能源和可持续能源技术用于缓解和地球工程用于适应背后的心理驱动因素，突出了个人（道德）和社会规范以及对风险和利益的情感反应的强大相互作用。本研究采用路径分析和心理测量网络分析相结合的多方法方法，考察了这些因素如何影响公众态度（可接受性）和意图（接受性）。研究结果强调了个人和社会规范直接或间接（通过可接受性调解）影响接受度（支持、使用和支付技术的意愿）。相反，情感反应直接影响支持意愿，并间接（通过可接受性中介）影响使用和支付技术的意愿。此外，研究结果还表明，地球工程技术在很大程度上依赖于人们对必要性的认知，而可再生能源和可持续能源技术则会引发更复杂的情感和评价反应，这反映出它们的传播范围更广，人们对它们的认知和情感评价也更复杂。结果表明，利用规范影响（个人和社会），促进积极的情感参与，并将必要性视为接受的关键驱动因素的重要性。本研究促进了对社会接受动态的理解，提供了针对关键社会心理变量的实用策略，以克服个人障碍，促进向可持续能源系统和创新技术的过渡。

Discussions about environmental psychology's constituent research topics and future directions have persisted over several decades. In this bibliometric analysis we analysed author keywords from 4313 journal articles, published between 2004 and 2024, from two sources: 1) key environmental psychology journals (Journal of Environmental Psychology, Environment and Behavior, PsyEcology: Bilingual Journal of Environmental Psychology, Frontiers in Psychology: Environmental Psychology, and Global Environmental Psychology) and 2) other journals where authors explicitly provided ‘environmental psychology’ as an article keyword. Using VOSviewer software, we produced maps of a) co-authorship and country collaborations; and b) author keyword co-occurrences to visualise topic clusters overall (2004–2024) and in discrete time periods (2004–2008, 2009–2013, 2014–2018, and 2019–2024). Co-authorship networks tended to relate to specific topics, with limited evidence of collaboration across topics or between authors in the Global North and South. Keyword co-occurrence mapping revealed eight overarching topic clusters: human–nature relationships; children's experiences of environments; virtual environments; pro-environmental behaviour; neighbourhood and built environment; place attachment; stress and wellbeing; and climate change. We observed a significant expansion in research on pro-environmental behaviour and climate change within environmental psychology, and a decrease over time in the visibility of research on the built environment. We suggest that environmental psychology has the potential to make greater contributions to research on conflict, migration, ageing, the built environment, and considerations of cultural and individual differences in environmental experiences.

关于环境心理学的组成研究课题和未来发展方向的讨论已经持续了几十年。在这项文献计量分析中，我们分析了2004年至2024年间发表的4313篇期刊文章的作者关键词，这些文章来自两个来源：1)主要的环境心理学期刊（《环境心理学杂志》、《环境与行为》、《心理生态学》：《环境心理学双语期刊》、《心理学前沿：环境心理学》和《全球环境心理学》）和2)作者明确将“环境心理学”作为文章关键词的其他期刊。使用VOSviewer软件，我们制作了a)合作作者和国家合作的地图；b)作者关键词共现，以可视化整体（2004-2024）和离散时间段（2004-2008、2009-2013、2014-2018和2019-2024）的主题聚类。共同作者网络往往与特定主题有关，跨主题合作或全球南北作者之间合作的证据有限。关键词共现映射揭示了8个总体主题聚类：人与自然关系；儿童对环境的体验；虚拟环境;支持环保行为;邻里及建筑环境；地方依恋;压力和健康；还有气候变化。我们观察到，在环境心理学中，亲环境行为和气候变化的研究有了显著的扩展，而建筑环境研究的可见度随着时间的推移而下降。我们认为，环境心理学有潜力对冲突、迁移、老龄化、建筑环境以及环境经验中文化和个体差异的考虑做出更大的贡献。

Floods have large societal impacts worldwide, causing both tangible and intangible damage resulting in loss of subjective wellbeing. The adaptive behavior of households can play an important role in minimizing these damages. To understand these dynamics, this study examines the effect of floods on life satisfaction and explores how flood adaptation can mitigate the negative impacts of floods on life satisfaction. Data was collected following the 2021 summer floods in the south of the Netherlands from approximately 1500 Dutch households who lived in flooded areas or faced the threat of the flood. The results reveal a negative effect of flood experiences on life satisfaction. Implementing structural adaptation measures was found to moderate this relationship. When structural measures are implemented, the negative impact of flood damage on life satisfaction is partially mitigated. In addition, we observe a drop in life satisfaction for low-income individuals who were not reimbursed for flood damages. These findings highlight the potential of flood adaptation in mitigating the loss of life satisfaction during a flood event and enhancing post-flood recovery.

洪水在世界范围内具有巨大的社会影响，造成有形和无形的损害，导致主观幸福感的丧失。家庭的适应性行为可以在减少这些损害方面发挥重要作用。为了了解这些动态，本研究考察了洪水对生活满意度的影响，并探讨了洪水适应如何减轻洪水对生活满意度的负面影响。在荷兰南部2021年夏季洪水之后，从大约1500个居住在洪水地区或面临洪水威胁的荷兰家庭中收集了数据。结果显示洪水经历对生活满意度有负面影响。实施结构适应措施可以缓和这种关系。当采取结构性措施时，洪水灾害对生活满意度的负面影响部分减轻。此外，我们还观察到，没有得到洪水赔偿的低收入人群的生活满意度有所下降。这些发现强调了洪水适应在减轻洪水事件期间生活满意度损失和加强灾后恢复方面的潜力。

The increasing frequency and spatial-temporal expansion of hot weather driven by climate change pose significant challenges to restorative environments in urban settings, negatively impacting stress relief and cognitive improvement. Therefore, it is crucial to enhance adaptation to dynamic outdoor thermal variations and improving health benefits. This study extracts thermal environmental trends, fluctuations, and lag features along park walking routes using time series analysis to analyze the impact of thermal changes on perceived restoration. Additionally, the deep learning models are used to identify visual factors, exploring how these elements mitigate thermal discomfort in dynamic thermal environments and enhance perceived restoration. The findings reveal that ground interface richness is a key factor in reducing the negative effects of rising air temperature and solar radiation trends. The incorporation of colorfulness, leisure facilities, plant community complexity, and an orderly spatial structure can buffer the impact of sharp thermal environmental fluctuations, enabling individuals to maintain a relatively stable perception of restoration. Moreover, low transparency—indicating reduced visual permeability and a higher sense of enclosure—effectively reduces the lagged effects of high temperatures and intense solar radiation. Compared to conventional physical adaptation pathways that adjust thermal parameters, this study proposes a sensory-mediated adaptation strategy as a flexible and cost-effective complementary approach for shaping thermally resilient communities.

气候变化导致的高温天气频率的增加和时空的扩大对城市环境中的恢复性环境构成了重大挑战，对压力缓解和认知改善产生了负面影响。因此，加强对室外动态热变化的适应，提高健康效益至关重要。本研究利用时间序列分析方法提取公园步行路线的热环境趋势、波动和滞后特征，分析热变化对感知恢复的影响。此外，深度学习模型用于识别视觉因素，探索这些因素如何减轻动态热环境中的热不适并增强感知恢复。研究结果表明，地面界面丰富度是减少气温上升和太阳辐射趋势负面影响的关键因素。丰富的色彩、休闲设施、植物群落的复杂性和有序的空间结构的结合可以缓冲剧烈的热环境波动的影响，使个人保持相对稳定的恢复感知。此外，低透明度——表明降低了视觉渗透性和更高的封闭感——有效地减少了高温和强烈太阳辐射的滞后效应。与传统的调节热参数的物理适应途径相比，本研究提出了一种感官介导的适应策略，作为塑造热弹性群落的一种灵活且具有成本效益的补充方法。

Wood construction uses forest biomass effectively and stores carbon. As a biophilic material, wood provides wellbeing benefits; however, its sensory properties, particularly those of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), one of the most commonly used wood species in construction, remain under-researched. A study involving 50 participants examined the effects of wood scent and visual stimuli on wellbeing. Participants visited a control room and rooms featuring scent, virtual walls, or both, completing tests and questionnaires. The results indicated that virtual walls combined with wood scent significantly reduced stress and enhanced restoration, with a mean Restoration Outcome Scale (ROS) score 0.47 points higher than the control and 0.30 points higher than with scent alone. There is a 96 % and 92 % confidence that ROS values are greater with both stimuli. While no significant difference was found between single stimuli, there is a 92 % certainty that ROS is higher with virtual walls compared to the control. These findings suggest that wooden virtual environments and wood scent could support cognitive training and emotional regulation. However, further research is needed to explore long-term effects and optimal stimulus levels.

木结构建筑有效地利用了森林生物量并储存了碳。作为一种亲生物材料，木材提供健康益处；然而，它的感官特性，特别是苏格兰松（Pinus sylvestris），建筑中最常用的木材之一，仍未得到充分研究。一项涉及50名参与者的研究调查了木材气味和视觉刺激对幸福感的影响。参与者参观了一个控制室，以及有气味、虚拟墙壁或两者兼而有之的房间，完成测试和问卷。结果表明，虚拟墙结合木材气味显著降低了应激，促进了修复，恢复结果量表（ROS）平均得分比对照组高0.47分，比单独气味高0.30分。有96%和92%的信心认为两种刺激的ROS值都更大。虽然在单一刺激之间没有发现显著差异，但有92%的确定性，虚拟墙壁的ROS高于对照组。这些发现表明，木制虚拟环境和木材气味可以支持认知训练和情绪调节。然而，需要进一步的研究来探索长期效果和最佳刺激水平。

Wayfinding is an important everyday activity, which can be conceived as a dynamic process of spatial problem solving. Existing research has significantly increased our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of wayfinding but has necessarily minimised the importance of ecological factors. Therefore, in this study we conducted a thematic synthesis of 54 articles, investigating an important yet minimised factor: the experiences and perceptions of wayfinding in everyday settings. Our findings suggest that people's experiences and perceptions are an integral part of everyday wayfinding, which manifests most explicitly in how landmarks are selected and utilised, how individuals' wayfinding experiences and strategies are idiosyncratic, and how wayfinding can be conceived as a dynamic, collective and socially-situated activity. These findings, we suggest, can act as a catalyst for an expansion of wayfinding research towards more ecologically sound approaches with diverse methodologies.

寻路是一项重要的日常活动，它可以被看作是解决空间问题的动态过程。现有的研究大大增加了我们对寻路潜在机制的理解，但却必然降低了生态因素的重要性。因此，在本研究中，我们对54篇文章进行了主题综合，调查了一个重要但被最小化的因素：日常环境中的寻路体验和感知。我们的研究结果表明，人们的经验和感知是日常寻路的一个组成部分，这最明显地体现在如何选择和利用地标，个人的寻路经验和策略是如何独特的，以及如何将寻路视为一种动态的、集体的和社会情境的活动。我们认为，这些发现可以作为一种催化剂，促进寻路研究朝着更生态的方法发展。
