In addition to enabling us to see the world, light has potent impacts on a variety of brain and circadian functions. Whether the daytime pattern of this light exposure has an impact on these downstream functions is not well described. In the present study, we compared the effects of static and dynamic daytime lighting scenarios, matched for average illuminance but differing in temporal distribution, on the sleep, alertness, and cognitive performance of home-based workers residing in the Phoenix metro area, whose home office lighting levels were substantially below those recommended for non-visual responses. The static lighting scenario maintained constant light intensity and correlated color temperature (CCT), whereas the dynamic scenario mimicked daylight by varying light intensity and CCT levels throughout the working hours. In a five-week counterbalanced randomized crossover design, objective sleep, subjective alertness, and cognitive performance under the two lighting interventions were measured in 20 participants. While the different lighting scenarios did not lead to differences in most of the objective sleep outcomes, effects of both lighting conditions were observed on global cognitive scores and specific cognitive domains including working memory. This study provides preliminary evidence that enhancing light exposure in home-based office environments may support the well-being and productivity of remote workers, suggesting a promising area for further research and application.

除了使我们能够看到世界之外，光对各种大脑和昼夜节律功能也有强有力的影响。白天这种光照模式是否对这些下游功能有影响还没有很好的描述。在本研究中，我们比较了静态和动态日间照明场景的影响，这些场景的平均照度相同，但时间分布不同，对居住在凤凰城都会区的家庭办公员工的睡眠、警觉性和认知表现的影响，他们的家庭办公室照明水平大大低于非视觉反应的推荐水平。静态照明场景保持恒定的光强和相关色温（CCT），而动态场景通过在整个工作时间内改变光强和CCT水平来模拟日光。在为期五周的平衡随机交叉设计中，对20名参与者在两种照明干预下的客观睡眠、主观警觉性和认知表现进行了测量。虽然不同的照明场景不会导致大多数客观睡眠结果的差异，但两种照明条件对整体认知得分和特定认知领域（包括工作记忆）的影响都被观察到。这项研究提供了初步的证据，证明在家庭办公环境中增加光照可能有助于远程工作者的福祉和生产力，这表明了一个有前景的研究和应用领域。

A large-scale field experiment (N = 8948) tested psychological interventions to reduce engine idling at short-wait stops. Persuasive messages based on social influence, informational influence, and identity-based influence/community engagement were displayed at a busy intersection. This study extends previous research by (1) considering shorter waiting times (i.e., red light stops) and (2) investigating the effect of messaging over longer time periods, including post-intervention. Compared to pre-intervention baseline, all messages significantly reduced idling rates in the first phase of the experiment, by 6–16 %. The effect was retained two weeks after signs were removed. In the second phase of the experiment, the most effective message (informational influence) was displayed again over four weeks, revealing a sustained effect on engine idling reduction that persisted one week after the sign was removed. This field experiment supports the efficacy of theory-driven messaging interventions to trigger sustained pro-environmental behavioral changes. Future studies may investigate the generalizability of the present findings to other settings. We highlight implications for psychology-based pro-environmental interventions.

一项大规模现场试验（N = 8948）测试了心理干预措施在短时间停车时减少发动机空转的效果。在一个繁忙的十字路口展示了基于社会影响、信息影响和基于身份的影响/社区参与的说服性信息。这项研究扩展了以前的研究：(1)考虑了更短的等待时间（即红灯停止）和(2)调查了更长的时间内发送信息的影响，包括干预后。与干预前的基线相比，在实验的第一阶段，所有信息都显著降低了空转率，降低了6 - 16%。这种效果在去除标记两周后仍然有效。在实验的第二阶段，最有效的信息（信息影响）在四周内再次显示，显示在移除标志一周后对发动机空转减少的持续影响。本现场实验支持理论驱动的信息传递干预触发持续的亲环境行为改变的有效性。未来的研究可能会调查目前的发现在其他情况下的普遍性。我们强调了对基于心理学的亲环境干预的影响。

The Gateway Belief Model offers an elegant solution for shifting public support for climate change (and other) policy. “Gateway” beliefs have direct effects on support for the policy goal and influence other beliefs and attitudes that affect policy support, leading to an impact on policy support that is amplified by the inclusion of both direct and indirect effects. Central to the effectiveness of using the Gateway Belief Model is selecting the correct gateway belief, as well as identifying appropriate mediating variables. Using a sample of 2278 respondents, we proposed and compared three different GBM-inspired models to map public support for climate action. Specifically, we compared the role of confidence in climate science prediction and personal experience of climate change as alternative gateway beliefs, and the role of belief in climate change and perceived threat as mediating variables. We found that experience of climate change is a similarly effective GBM-inspired gateway belief as confidence in scientific prediction, while the perceived threat from climate change is a superior mediating variable. Using mediation analysis, we further analysed the effects from two variables in our revised model and demonstrated that cognitive beliefs (such as perceived threat of climate change) are a much stronger driver of policy support than emotional drivers (i.e., worry about climate change). This is important evidence given that negative emotionally-based climate drivers can produce significant negative effects on community mental health. We also examined whether our findings are robust across gender and political persuasion. While there are significant differences in beliefs and attitudes across these groups, the gateway path effects are consistent across most groups. Our findings highlight the importance in marketing communications of helping people to understand and interpret changes in climate and its consequences (as well as possible adaptation solutions).

门户信念模型为改变公众对气候变化（和其他）政策的支持提供了一个优雅的解决方案。“门户”信念直接影响对政策目标的支持，并影响影响政策支持的其他信念和态度，从而导致对政策支持的影响，这种影响因纳入直接和间接影响而被放大。使用网关信念模型的有效性的核心是选择正确的网关信念，以及确定适当的中介变量。利用2278名受访者的样本，我们提出并比较了三种不同的受gbm启发的模型，以绘制公众对气候行动的支持情况。具体而言，我们比较了气候科学预测信心和个人气候变化经验作为替代门户信念的作用，以及气候变化信念和感知威胁作为中介变量的作用。研究发现，对气候变化的体验与对科学预测的信心一样，是一种有效的由gbm激发的门户信念，而对气候变化威胁的感知是一种更好的中介变量。利用中介分析，我们进一步分析了修正模型中两个变量的影响，并证明认知信念（如感知到的气候变化威胁）比情感驱动因素（即对气候变化的担忧）更能驱动政策支持。这是一个重要的证据，因为基于情绪的负面气候驱动因素会对社区心理健康产生重大的负面影响。我们还检查了我们的发现是否在性别和政治信仰方面都是可靠的。虽然这些群体在信仰和态度上存在显著差异，但通道效应在大多数群体中是一致的。我们的研究结果强调了帮助人们理解和解释气候变化及其后果（以及可能的适应解决方案）在营销传播中的重要性。

Impact of eye-level roadside landscapes on urban drivers' emotion states has not been extensively studied, particularly through real-world driving experiments. In this study, each of 34 nonprofessional and local urban drivers were assigned to complete seven 1-h driving tasks on seven routes with seven different levels of greenness in a random order. The range of eye-level greenness is from 25.16 % to 39.21 %. In total, 238 driving sessions were recorded. Immediately before, halfway, and immediately after each drive, participants reported their emotion states, including boredom, anger, frustration, anxiety, and avoidance by answering Visual Analog Scales questionnaires. A multi-factor ANOVA indicated that eye-level green landscapes had a significant effect on drivers' emotion states across the routes after 1 h of driving (F = 2.39, p < .05). The influence of green landscapes followed a pattern of initial stability followed by a marked increase, becoming particularly distinct when the eye-level greenness reached around 39.21 %. Moreover, positive effects of green landscapes were more substantial during longer (60-min) drives than shorter (30-min) ones. These three results suggest curbside green landscapes can significantly slow the decline of positive emotion states caused by the urban road driving and providing a moderate level of greenness is necessary to guarantee a substantial effect. It underscores the unique and critical value of incorporating green landscapes, especially tree canopies, along urban roads to enhance drivers’ emotional health and well-being. Meanwhile, it provides valuable enrichment and challenge to Affective Theory and Cognitive Load Theory.

视距路边景观对城市驾驶员情绪状态的影响尚未得到广泛研究，特别是通过真实驾驶实验。在这项研究中，34名非专业和当地城市司机被随机分配在7条不同绿色水平的7条路线上完成7个1小时的驾驶任务。眼平绿度范围为25.16% ~ 39.21%。总共记录了238次驾驶。在每次开车之前、中途和之后，参与者通过回答视觉模拟量表的问卷，报告他们的情绪状态，包括无聊、愤怒、沮丧、焦虑和逃避。多因素方差分析表明，眼平绿色景观对驾驶员驾驶1 h后的情绪状态有显著影响（F = 2.39, p < 0.05）。绿色景观的影响呈现出一种先稳定后显著增加的模式，当视平度达到39.21%左右时，这种影响变得尤为明显。此外，驾车时间较长的（60分钟）比驾车时间较短的（30分钟）对绿色景观的积极影响更为显著。这三个结果表明，路边绿地景观可以显著减缓城市道路驾驶引起的积极情绪状态的下降，提供适度的绿化水平是保证其实质性效果的必要条件。它强调了在城市道路沿线融入绿色景观，特别是树冠的独特和关键价值，以增强驾驶员的情感健康和福祉。同时，也为情感理论和认知负荷理论提供了有价值的丰富和挑战。

Reducing climate change requires persuading people about climate change and climate solutions. The nearly universal way of evaluating which climate and environmental messages are most effective is to calculate and compare average treatment effects (ATEs). The problem with the ATE, however, is that it does not describe the underlying pattern of persuasion: whether effect size is better predicted by how many people are persuaded (i.e., breadth), or how much they are persuaded (i.e., depth). Here, we investigate this in a preregistered meta-analysis of our experimental data archive, avoiding publication bias (14 experiments; 94 treatments; total N = 41,265). We find that as treatment effects increase, the breadth and depth of persuasion both increase. However, the predictive power of breadth (β = 0.47, 95 % CI [0.29, 0.65]) is far stronger than that of depth (β = 0.10, 95 % CI [0.04, 0.15]). We also find that breadth and depth are only weakly correlated (β = 0.23, 95 % CI [0.003, 0.46]), confirming they are distinct. Additionally, as average treatment effects increase, we also find that negative (i.e., backlash) effects decrease (β = −0.30, 95 % CI [-0.46, −0.15]), suggesting that larger ATEs are a function of increased persuasion and decreased backlash. Through three case studies, we show how these results generalize and when they can be audience-dependent. These results have important implications for both scholars and practitioners of climate and environmental communication.

减少气候变化需要说服人们相信气候变化和气候解决方案。评估哪些气候和环境信息最有效的几乎通用的方法是计算和比较平均处理效果（ATEs）。然而，ATE的问题在于，它没有描述说服的潜在模式：效果大小是由被说服的人数（即广度）还是被说服的人数（即深度）来预测。为了避免发表偏倚（14项实验，94项治疗，总N = 41,265），我们对实验数据档案进行了预注册的荟萃分析。我们发现，随着治疗效果的增加，说服的广度和深度都在增加。然而，广度（β = 0.47, 95% CI[0.29, 0.65]）的预测能力远强于深度（β = 0.10, 95% CI[0.04, 0.15]）。我们还发现，广度和深度仅弱相关（β = 0.23, 95% CI[0.003, 0.46]），证实它们是不同的。此外，随着平均治疗效果的增加，我们还发现负面（即反弹）效果减少（β = - 0.30, 95% CI[-0.46, - 0.15]），这表明较大的ATEs是说服力增加和反弹减少的函数。通过三个案例研究，我们展示了这些结果是如何推广的，以及它们何时可以依赖于受众。这些结果对气候与环境传播的学者和实践者都具有重要的启示意义。

Numerous pro-environmental behavior change interventions use financial incentives to promote desired behaviors. However, the persistent effect of incentives after removal is still inconclusive for these behaviors. This meta-analysis examines whether incentives have a persistent effect on behavior change after removal. Across 27 studies, incentives promote pro-environmental behavior when in place (g = 0.44), and when removed (g = 0.19). Further examination of the findings reveals that persistence is only significant for non-contingent incentives, and only for transportation-related behaviors. These findings underscore the importance of careful consideration of long-lasting effects of incentive-based behavior-change programs and highlight the need for additional research on if and when incentive removal results in a backfire effect.

许多亲环境行为改变干预措施使用财政激励来促进期望的行为。然而，对于这些行为，移除激励后的持续效应仍然是不确定的。本荟萃分析考察了动机是否对移除后的行为改变有持续的影响。在27项研究中，激励措施在适当时（g = 0.44）和取消时（g = 0.19）会促进亲环境行为。对研究结果的进一步研究表明，持久性只对非偶然激励有意义，而且只对交通相关行为有意义。这些发现强调了仔细考虑基于激励的行为改变计划的长期影响的重要性，并强调了对激励取消是否以及何时会产生适得其反的效果进行额外研究的必要性。

Climate change is a global crisis that evokes strong emotions. However, it is unclear which strategies people adopt to regulate these emotions, and how these strategies predict affective well-being and pro-environmental engagement. The aim of the present study was to get a better understanding of usage and effectiveness of a broad set of emotion regulation strategies in the context of climate change. At wave 1 (N = 325 participants), we assessed emotion regulation, affective well-being, past pro-environmental behavior and future pro-environmental behavioral intentions. Four weeks later, at wave 2 (N = 137 participants), pro-environmental behavior was again assessed. Other-blame was the most often used regulation strategy in the context of climate change. Rumination and self-blame were found to involve a key tradeoff as usage of these strategies was associated with higher pro-environmental engagement but lower affective well-being. In contrast, seeking social support was positively related to both pro-environmental engagement and affective well-being. These results demonstrate the importance of simultaneously examining well-being outcomes and behavioral outcomes in emotion regulation research in the context of climate change.

气候变化是一场引发强烈情绪的全球危机。然而，目前尚不清楚人们采用哪种策略来调节这些情绪，以及这些策略如何预测情感幸福感和亲环境参与。本研究的目的是为了更好地了解气候变化背景下一系列广泛的情绪调节策略的使用和有效性。在第一阶段（N = 325名参与者），我们评估了情绪调节、情感幸福感、过去的亲环境行为和未来的亲环境行为意图。四周后，在第二阶段（N = 137名参与者），再次评估亲环境行为。在气候变化的背景下，“其他责任”是最常用的监管策略。研究发现，沉思和自责涉及到一个关键的权衡，因为使用这些策略与更高的亲环境参与有关，但与更低的情感幸福感有关。相比之下，寻求社会支持与亲环境参与和情感幸福感均呈正相关。这些结果证明了在气候变化背景下情绪调节研究中同时检查幸福感结果和行为结果的重要性。

Past studies have shown that recalling childhood autobiographical memories is associated with pro-environmental behaviors; however, the psychological mechanisms underlying this effect remain unclear. Using an experimental design, the current study demonstrates that evoking childhood memories increases both self-reported and actual pro-environmental behaviors. By including self-report measures of moral purity and an implicit reaction-time task on moral purity, the study reveals that individual differences in moral purity moderate the relationship between childhood memory recall and pro-environmental behaviors. Crucially, the findings suggest that the effect of recalling childhood memories is not simply due to positive or negative emotions or to the actual recall of experiences related to moral purity, which influence pro-environmental behaviors. Instead, recalling childhood autobiographical memories evokes a broader cultural script of childhood as a time of purity and innocence. This shared cultural narrative underlies the psychological pathway from memory recall to sustainable behavior, highlighting the importance of cultural context in shaping moral meanings.

过去的研究表明，回忆童年自传式记忆与亲环境行为有关；然而，这种效应背后的心理机制尚不清楚。通过实验设计，目前的研究表明，唤起童年记忆会增加自我报告的和实际的亲环境行为。通过对道德纯洁性的自我报告测量和内隐反应时间任务，研究发现道德纯洁性的个体差异调节了童年记忆回忆和亲环境行为之间的关系。至关重要的是，研究结果表明，回忆童年记忆的效果不仅仅是由于积极或消极的情绪，也不仅仅是由于对与道德纯洁有关的经历的实际回忆，而道德纯洁会影响亲环境行为。相反，回忆童年的自传式记忆唤起了一个更广泛的文化剧本，童年是一段纯洁和纯真的时光。这种共同的文化叙事是从记忆回忆到可持续行为的心理途径的基础，强调了文化背景在塑造道德意义方面的重要性。
