Exposure to nature is positively associated with pro-environmental behavior, though causal evidence to date is limited. We conducted a randomized controlled trial with N = 542 participants, to explore whether a one-time encounter with nature can lead individuals to behave more pro-environmentally. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four conditions, spending 15 minutes either walking through a park, walking through an urban area, viewing a video of a nature walk, or taking a break while seated at a desk. Participants received a EUR 10 endowment to either keep for themselves or donate to a conservation, social, or cultural charity. We observed pro-environmental behavior by measuring donations to the conservation charity, which came at a direct cost to participants. We found modest support that real exposure to nature positively affects pro-environmental behavior, as evidenced by higher average donations compared to watching a nature video, but not compared to any other condition. Self-reported restoration mediated the effect, but lost significance when controlling for environmental concern. Thus, attention restoration as a mechanism was driven by environmentally concerned individuals. Fostering more nature experiences may present a relevant avenue for behavior-change. We discuss limitations and propose several directions for future research.
接触自然与亲环境行为呈正相关,但迄今为止因果关系的证据还很有限。我们进行了一项随机对照试验,共有 542 人参加,目的是探讨与大自然的一次性接触是否会使个人的环保行为更加积极。参与者被随机分配到四种情况中的一种,分别在公园漫步、在市区漫步、观看自然漫步视频或坐在办公桌前休息 15 分钟。参与者将获得 10 欧元的捐赠,可以自己留着,也可以捐给保护、社会或文化慈善机构。我们通过测量对保护慈善机构的捐款来观察参与者的环保行为,而参与者则需要为此直接付出代价。我们发现,与观看自然视频相比,参与者的平均捐款额较高,但与其他条件相比,参与者的平均捐款额并不高,这适度证明了真正接触自然会对亲环境行为产生积极影响。自我报告的注意力恢复对这一效应起到了中介作用,但在控制了对环境的关注度后,这一作用就失去了意义。因此,注意力恢复作为一种机制是由关注环境的个体驱动的。培养更多的自然体验可能是改变行为的一个相关途径。我们讨论了研究的局限性,并提出了未来研究的几个方向。

When houses wear faces: Reverse correlation applied to architectural design 当房子戴上面具反向关联应用于建筑设计
IF 6.1 1区 心理学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2024-08-08 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvp.2024.102401

Reverse correlation (RC) is a data-driven method from social psychology that has been effectively shown to visualize the mental representations that humans hold regarding facial attributes. The method helps to understand what features are relevant in terms of the evaluation of faces, such as dominance or submissiveness. To the best of our knowledge, RC has solely been applied to faces within the area of psychology until this point. However, there are many other areas where it is of interest to understand how humans evaluate and visualize content, one of them being the evaluation of house facades. With this work, we extended the application of RC to architectural design, specifically focusing on the evaluation of house facades with respect to the psychological attributes of facelikeness, invitingness, and likeability. Furthermore, we propose a novel approach to create the base image, by utilizing a generative adversarial network. In an online study with a between-subject design, 121 participants completed the RC task, with 40 to 41 participants assigned to each of the three attributes. The resulting classification images (CIs) from the RC task unveil face-related features for the attribute facelikeness, signifying the potential extension of the RC methodology beyond the established domain of facial analysis to other domains, such as architectural design.

反向相关(RC)是社会心理学中一种以数据为驱动的方法,它能有效地将人类对面部特征所持有的心理表征可视化。该方法有助于了解哪些特征与人脸评价相关,例如支配性或顺从性。据我们所知,在此之前,RC 只应用于心理学领域中的人脸。然而,在许多其他领域,了解人类如何评价和可视化内容也是很有意义的,其中之一就是对房屋外墙的评价。通过这项工作,我们将 RC 的应用扩展到了建筑设计领域,特别是侧重于根据 、 、 和 等心理属性对房屋外立面进行评估。此外,我们还提出了一种利用生成式对抗网络创建基础图像的新方法。在一项采用主体间设计的在线研究中,121 名参与者完成了 RC 任务,其中 40 至 41 名参与者分别被分配到三个属性中。RC 任务产生的分类图像(CIs)揭示了与面部相关的属性特征,这表明 RC 方法有可能从面部分析的既定领域扩展到建筑设计等其他领域。

The role of distal landmarks and individual differences in acquiring spatial representations that support flexible and automatic wayfinding 远端地标和个体差异在获取支持灵活自动寻路的空间表征中的作用
IF 6.1 1区 心理学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2024-08-08 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvp.2024.102391

Theories of parallel memory systems suggest that flexible wayfinding (e.g., shortcutting) requires knowledge about the spatial structure of an environment, whereas automatic wayfinding (e.g., route-following) does not. Distal landmarks have widely been assumed to promote learning a spatial representation of an environment and, thus, flexible wayfinding through it. There is, however, little behavioural evidence to corroborate this assumption. In three experiments reported here, participants learned a circuitous route through a large-scale virtual garden maze, after which they completed orientation and wayfinding tests that measured their knowledge of the spatial structure of the environment and ability to shortcut through it, respectively. In Experiment 1, we found no evidence of a benefit to navigation in the presence versus the absence of distal landmarks when participants had continuous experience of the learned route, but pointing accuracy and shortcutting ability decreased when the learned route was complex compared to simple. In Experiment 2, participants learned a simple circuitous route in segments, and we observed superior knowledge of how the separately learned local spaces were aligned in the presence versus the absence of distal landmarks. Across all experiments, consistent with parallel memory systems, we observed that knowledge of the spatial structure of the environment was related to shortcutting but not route-following. This pattern of data suggests that distal landmarks promote the integration of separately learned local spaces into a coherent global representation, but do not promote learning of local spaces beyond what can be achieved by tracking self-motion.

平行记忆系统理论认为,灵活寻路(如抄近路)需要了解环境的空间结构,而自动寻路(如路线跟踪)则不需要。人们普遍认为,远处的地标能促进学习环境的空间表征,从而在环境中灵活寻路。然而,几乎没有行为学证据可以证实这一假设。在本文报告的三项实验中,参与者在大型虚拟花园迷宫中学习了一条迂回路线,之后他们完成了定向和寻路测试,分别测量了他们对环境空间结构的了解和在其中抄近路的能力。在实验 1 中,我们没有发现任何证据表明,当参与者对所学路线有持续的经验时,有远端地标与没有远端地标对导航都有好处,但当所学路线复杂与简单相比时,指向的准确性和抄近路的能力都会下降。在实验 2 中,参与者分段学习了一条简单的迂回路线,我们观察到,在有远处地标的情况下和没有远处地标的情况下,参与者对分别学习到的局部空间如何对齐有更深入的了解。在所有实验中,与平行记忆系统一致的是,我们观察到环境空间结构知识与抄近路有关,而与路线追踪无关。这种数据模式表明,远端地标能促进将单独学习到的局部空间整合为一个连贯的全局表征,但并不能促进对局部空间的学习,而超出通过追踪自我运动所能实现的范围。

Understanding connection to nature in Turkish middle school children: Personal factors and Nature's restorative effect 了解土耳其中学生与自然的联系:个人因素和大自然的修复作用
IF 6.1 1区 心理学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2024-08-08 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvp.2024.102393

A connection to nature can be healing and restorative for children, especially when they are coping with psychological symptoms. Better understanding the essence of this connection and investigating the associated variables can, therefore, prove useful. This research consisted of three studies measuring the connection to nature among youth in Turkey's unique, non-Western context. In Study-1 (n = 214), the 14-item Connection to Nature Index (CNI) was tested with confirmatory factor analysis. The results showed that the CNI was a valid and reliable instrument in the Turkish sample. Study-2 (n = 375) examined personal factors predicting children's connection to nature. Regression analysis showed that gender was a significant predictor of CNI. We also found that connection to nature increased as screen time decreased and the frequency of contact with nature increased. In Study 3 (n = 404), we found that hope and satisfaction with life acted as serial and complete mediators between CNI and psychological symptoms. Unlike the results of previous studies conducted in the West, this study highlights for the first time the importance of children's connection with the natural world in Turkey, an Eastern society.

与大自然的联系可以治疗和恢复儿童的身心健康,尤其是当他们出现心理症状时。因此,更好地了解这种联系的本质并调查相关变量会很有帮助。本研究包括三项研究,分别测量土耳其独特的非西方背景下青少年与自然的联系。在研究-1(= 214)中,通过确认性因素分析对 14 个项目的 "与自然联系指数"(CNI)进行了测试。结果表明,在土耳其样本中,"与自然联系指数 "是一个有效、可靠的工具。研究-2(= 375)考察了预测儿童与自然联系的个人因素。回归分析表明,性别是 CNI 的重要预测因素。我们还发现,随着屏幕时间的减少和与自然接触频率的增加,与自然的联系也会增加。在研究 3(= 404)中,我们发现希望和对生活的满意度在 "与自然联系 "和心理症状之间起到了连续和完全的中介作用。与以往在西方进行的研究结果不同,本研究首次强调了东方社会土耳其儿童与自然世界联系的重要性。

Pro-environmental behaviors and well-being in everyday life 日常生活中的环保行为和幸福感
IF 6.1 1区 心理学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2024-08-08 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvp.2024.102394

Individual and household behaviors are key targets for climate change mitigation efforts, and studies suggest that people who enact more pro-environmental behaviors tend to experience higher levels of well-being. Yet these studies have typically used coarse-grained, retrospective reports that offer limited insight into the immediate impacts of specific behaviors. In three studies (total N = 8,522 observations, N = 1,353 US and UK participants) we adopted a highly fine-grained approach. Using the day reconstruction method, we zoomed in on particular moments in everyday life to examine links between specific behaviors and different aspects of well-being. This revealed generally positive associations, but also substantial variation. Pro-environmental behaviors are more closely and consistently associated with positive and especially “eudaimonic” dimensions of well-being. And more active, effortful, and social behaviors tended to show stronger positive associations. Although the relationships between pro-environmental behaviors and well-being are considerably more complex than prior research has indicated, these findings continue to suggest that ecological and individual well-being can be pursued in tandem.

个人和家庭行为是减缓气候变化的关键目标,研究表明,采取更多环保行为的人往往会获得更高的幸福感。然而,这些研究通常使用粗粒度的回顾性报告,对特定行为的直接影响的洞察力有限。在三项研究中(总人数 = 8,522 次观察,人数 = 1,353 名美国和英国参与者),我们采用了一种高度精细的方法。利用日重构法,我们放大了日常生活中的特定时刻,以研究特定行为与幸福感不同方面之间的联系。结果显示,两者之间总体上存在正相关,但也存在很大差异。亲环境行为与幸福感的积极方面,尤其是 "美满 "方面,有着更密切、更一致的联系。而更积极、更努力和更社会化的行为往往表现出更强的正相关性。尽管亲环境行为与幸福感之间的关系比之前的研究表明的要复杂得多,但这些发现仍然表明,生态和个人幸福感是可以同时追求的。

Development and validation of the domain-specific climate change distress scale 开发和验证特定领域气候变化困扰量表
IF 6.1 1区 心理学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2024-08-06 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvp.2024.102392

Climate change is one of, if not the greatest, global challenges of this century, as its consequences can have a wide range of impacts on society, the environment, and the personal lives of many individuals. Consequently, many people experience severe psychological distress in the form of fears, anxieties, or worries, elicited by one, some, or all these different consequences. Thus, climate change distress can be conceptualized as a domain-specific construct. We conducted a literature review and a qualitative lay survey to develop the Domain-Specific Climate Change Distress Scale (DCCDS), with a generic climate change distress domain and six sub-domains (ecology, existence, food supply, future generations, society, and wealth). In the first study, we validated this structure with a bifactor-(S-1) model and refined the scale according to its psychometric properties. In a second study, we showed convergent and discriminant validity with the respective constructs. In a third study, we demonstrated the external validity of the scale by investigating the relation of its sub-domains to fear reactions to real-life news excerpts and willingness to donate to different charity organizations. Each sub-domain showed incremental validity over the generic domain. The scale had adequate psychometric properties and stability over three measurement timepoints in German gender-balanced convenience samples. We thus conclude that the domain-specific conceptualization of climate change distress yields important diagnostic benefits and could provide important insights into the future handling of climate change distress on a political, socio-cultural, and personal level.

气候变化即使不是本世纪最大的全球性挑战,也是其中之一,因为其后果会对社会、环境和许多人的个人生活产生广泛的影响。因此,许多人都会因其中一种、几种或所有这些不同的后果而产生恐惧、焦虑或忧虑等形式的严重心理困扰。因此,气候变化困扰可以被概念化为一个特定领域的概念。我们通过文献综述和定性非专业调查,编制了特定领域气候变化苦恼量表(DCCDS),其中包括一个通用气候变化苦恼领域和六个子领域(生态、生存、食品供应、后代、社会和财富)。在第一项研究中,我们利用双因素(S-1)模型验证了这一结构,并根据其心理测量特性对量表进行了改进。在第二项研究中,我们证明了量表与相应结构的收敛性和判别性。在第三项研究中,我们通过调查量表各子领域与对真实新闻节选的恐惧反应和对不同慈善组织的捐赠意愿之间的关系,证明了量表的外部效度。每个子领域的效度都高于通用领域。在德国性别平衡的方便样本中,该量表在三个测量时间点上具有充分的心理测量特性和稳定性。因此,我们得出结论认为,气候变化困扰的特定领域概念化具有重要的诊断优势,可为今后在政治、社会文化和个人层面处理气候变化困扰提供重要的见解。

Accumulation of self-reported restorative effects of natural sounds: A seven-day intervention indoors 积累自我报告的自然声音的恢复效果:为期七天的室内干预
IF 6.1 1区 心理学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2024-08-05 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvp.2024.102388

This study investigated the restorative effects of repeated listening to natural sounds indoors in real-life settings. Previous studies have mainly been cross-sectional and laboratory studies. We designed an online field experiment lasting seven days, in which we assigned 166 university students to one of four intervention groups: (1) listening to natural sounds, (2) sitting in silence (i.e., another means of restoration), (3) reading news online (i.e., a prevalent but not necessarily restorative activity), or (4) no intervention (i.e., the control). Self-reported restorative experience was measured both before and after the daily intervention (but once a day in the no-intervention group), and the weekly-measured perceived stress and state mindfulness were assessed at the beginning and end of the intervention week. Linear hypothesis tests based on a linear mixed-effects model (LMM) showed that, at the day level, natural sounds were the most restorative, followed by silence, while reading news proved not to be restorative. In addition, the daily restorative effect of natural sounds was carried over to later days and its seven-day accumulation was half as great as the general daily restorative effect, although the within-day pre-post change ostensibly diminished over time. An ANCOVA and paired t-tests revealed that a reduction in the weekly-measured perceived stress and an increase in the weekly-measured mindfulness took place after listening to natural sounds or sitting in silence, with the former intervention type having stronger effects, aligning with the results for the restorative experience. Our findings suggest that the carryover effect of repeated listening to natural sounds for psychological restoration may more than compensate for the diminishing returns in within-day pre-post changes over the course of a week.

本研究调查了在真实环境中反复聆听室内自然声音的恢复效果。以往的研究主要是横断面研究和实验室研究。我们设计了一个为期七天的在线现场实验,将 166 名大学生分配到四个干预组中的一个:(1) 聆听自然声音,(2) 静坐(即另一种恢复方式),(3) 在线阅读新闻(即一种普遍但不一定具有恢复效果的活动),或 (4) 无干预(即对照组)。在每天进行干预之前和之后,都会对自我报告的恢复体验进行测量(但不干预组每天测量一次),在干预周开始和结束时,会对每周测量的感知压力和正念状态进行评估。基于线性混合效应模型(LMM)的线性假设检验表明,在一天中,自然声音最能使人恢复精神,其次是安静,而阅读新闻则不能使人恢复精神。此外,自然声音的每日恢复效果会延续到以后几天,其七天的累积效果是一般每日恢复效果的一半,尽管随着时间的推移,日内的前后变化明显减小。方差分析和配对 t 检验表明,在聆听自然声音或静坐后,每周测量的感知压力减少了,每周测量的正念增加了,前一种干预类型的效果更强,这与恢复性体验的结果一致。我们的研究结果表明,反复聆听自然声音以恢复心理状态所产生的延续效应可能足以弥补一周内日间前后变化的收益递减。

Promoting prosociality toward future generations by tailoring to group-based social preferences 根据群体的社会偏好促进对后代的亲社会性
IF 6.1 1区 心理学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2024-08-03 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvp.2024.102387

Promoting prosocial behavior toward future generations is crucial to combat societal challenges such as climate change and the depletion of natural resources. Here, we invoke a social dilemma lens to predict and promote future-oriented prosociality in four preregistered online experiments (total N = 2407). Integrating research on temporal preferences with research on social preferences, we show that (i) individuals are willing to make self-costly contributions to future beneficiaries without personal return on investment; (ii) universally prosocial preferences predict such future-oriented prosociality most strongly, and (iii) individuals with weakly or strongly parochial preferences can also be motivated toward future-oriented prosociality if the future beneficiary of their contributions is aligned with their social preferences, i.e., when the future beneficiary is part of an in-group. This is true for both minimal groups (Studies 2–3) and real-world groups (Study 4). Our findings suggest that policies aimed at promoting people's future-oriented prosociality could be made more effective by tailoring to the beneficiary of their prosociality in the future.

促进对后代的亲社会行为对于应对气候变化和自然资源枯竭等社会挑战至关重要。在此,我们从社会困境的角度出发,在四个预先登记的在线实验中预测并促进面向未来的亲社会行为(总人数 = 2407)。将时间偏好研究与社会偏好研究相结合,我们发现:(i) 个人愿意为未来的受益人做出自我代价高昂的贡献,而无需个人投资回报;(ii) 普遍的亲社会偏好能最有力地预测这种面向未来的亲社会行为;(iii) 如果未来的受益人与其社会偏好一致,即未来的受益人属于同群体,那么具有弱或强偏狭偏好的个人也会被激励做出面向未来的亲社会行为。最小群体(研究 2-3)和现实世界群体(研究 4)都是如此。我们的研究结果表明,旨在促进人们以未来为导向的亲社会性的政策,可以通过根据人们未来亲社会性的受益人量身定制而变得更加有效。

Virtual changes in real places: Understanding the role of place attachment in augmented reality adoption 真实地点的虚拟变化:了解地方依恋在增强现实技术应用中的作用
IF 6.1 1区 心理学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2024-08-02 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvp.2024.102386

Augmented reality (AR) technology has the potential to transform how individuals interact with real-world environments, offering individuals the unique capability to induce virtual changes in a place. In two studies (Ntotal = 2305), we investigated the relationship between place attachment and willingness to use different types of AR applications: informative (focused on providing information about the place's past and future) and transformative (altering the appearance of a place or the way it is used). We used different measures of place attachment, distinguished by the personal significance attributed to the place. We found that traditional place attachment and place dependence were negatively correlated with willingness to use informative AR applications; the opposite relationship was observed for active place attachment and place identity. Transformative AR applications were more accepted by individuals with high active place attachment; however, we did not observe the expected negative relationship between traditional place attachment and this type of AR. Our study is the first to show how various forms of attachment shape willingness to implement virtual alterations in real locations, offering a preliminary understanding of whether these changes are perceived as positive or negative.

增强现实(AR)技术有可能改变个人与现实世界环境的互动方式,为个人提供在一个地方引起虚拟变化的独特能力。在两项研究(N = 2305)中,我们调查了场所依恋与使用不同类型 AR 应用程序的意愿之间的关系:信息型(侧重于提供有关场所过去和未来的信息)和变革型(改变场所外观或使用方式)。我们采用了不同的场所依恋度量方法,根据对场所的个人意义进行区分。我们发现,传统的场所依恋和场所依赖与使用信息型 AR 应用程序的意愿呈负相关;而积极的场所依恋和场所认同则与此相反。变革型 AR 应用程序更容易被积极地方依恋程度高的个人所接受;然而,我们并没有观察到传统地方依恋与这类 AR 之间预期的负相关关系。我们的研究首次展示了各种形式的依恋如何影响人们在真实地点实施虚拟改变的意愿,并提供了对这些改变被视为积极还是消极的初步理解。
