This meta-analysis investigates real-world nudging interventions to reduce meat consumption, uniquely focusing on 33 field experiments with 78 effect sizes that use revealed preferences to minimize attitude-behavior bias. Key findings indicate that the effectiveness of nudging interventions is highly heterogeneous (I² = 99.97 %), with an estimated prediction interval ranging from −50 % to 28 %. Therefore, our focus is on the conditions that moderate potential nudging effects in food service: Interventions targeting decision structure yield a substantial effectiveness with reductions in meat consumption up to 30 %, among them, choice defaults with a 54 % reduction on average. Conversely, strategies based on information provision or decision assistance were found to be ineffective in promoting behavioral change. Our study also identifies a concern: approximately 30 % of interventions resulted in a backfire effect, leading to increased meat consumption. This proportion is higher than reported in some previous meta-analyses and could be attributed to less controlled field study environments or psychological reactance. Future research should continue to explore the complex interplay of moderating variables, investigate the long-term persistence of default effects, examine potential compensation behaviors, and analyze how individual values and attitudes might further moderate nudging success. Understanding these nuances will be crucial for designing and implementing truly effective and context-sensitive strategies to promote more sustainable and healthy dietary patterns.

本荟萃分析调查了现实世界中减少肉类消费的轻推干预措施，独特地关注了33个现场实验，78个效应大小，使用揭示的偏好来最小化态度-行为偏差。关键发现表明，助推干预的有效性是高度异质性的（I2 = 99.97%），估计预测区间为- 50%至28%。因此，我们的重点是在食品服务中缓和潜在推动效应的条件：针对决策结构的干预措施产生了实质性的效果，减少了30%的肉类消费，其中，选择违约平均减少了54%。相反，基于信息提供或决策协助的策略在促进行为改变方面被发现是无效的。我们的研究还发现了一个问题：大约30%的干预措施产生了适得其反的效果，导致肉类消费量增加。这一比例高于之前一些荟萃分析的报告，可能是由于较少控制的实地研究环境或心理抗拒。未来的研究应继续探索调节变量的复杂相互作用，调查默认效应的长期持久性，检查潜在的补偿行为，并分析个人价值观和态度如何进一步调节助推成功。了解这些细微差别对于设计和实施真正有效和对环境敏感的战略以促进更可持续和健康的饮食模式至关重要。

Convincing people to lead a more sustainable lifestyle can have a significant positive impact on our environment. Social media represents an ideal scalable platform for sustainable messages. This study investigates the efficacy of dynamic norm interventions, disseminated by social media influencers, in prompting reduced consumption of PET bottles. Drawing on established research confirming the efficacy of such interventions in fostering sustainable behavior, three studies were conducted (N_sum = 1329) to ascertain the impact of these interventions within the context of influencer communication. Findings indicated that the length of the message and the strength of parasocial relationships with the influencer were moderators of the effect of dynamic norms on the perceived persuasiveness of the message among the primary audience of the influencer. When the parasocial relationship was less intense and the message was concise, dynamic norms had a greater direct influence on the persuasiveness and a greater indirect influence on behavioral intentions such as engagement with the post. These insights extend the scope and application of dynamic norm interventions in environmental sustainability efforts on social media.

说服人们过一种更可持续的生活方式可以对我们的环境产生重大的积极影响。社交媒体是可持续信息的理想可扩展平台。本研究调查了由社交媒体影响者传播的动态规范干预在促使减少PET瓶消费方面的功效。根据证实此类干预措施在培养可持续行为方面的有效性的既定研究，进行了三项研究（Nsum = 1329），以确定这些干预措施在影响者沟通背景下的影响。研究结果表明，信息的长度和与影响者的副社会关系的强度是动态规范对影响者的主要受众感知信息说服力的影响的调节因子。当副社会关系较弱且信息简洁时，动态规范对说服力有更大的直接影响，对参与帖子等行为意图有更大的间接影响。这些见解扩展了动态规范干预在社会媒体环境可持续性努力中的范围和应用。

Growing wildfire risks are increasing losses and damages to wildland-urban interface households in the American West. In Colorado, the December 2021 Marshall Fire destroyed over 1000 suburban homes and became the most destructive fire in the state's history and the 10th costliest in US history. Fortunately, homeowner adaptation action can play a significant role in preventing structural damage or loss that can come from a wildfire. Yet, action is more effective when coordinated across a community, since the nature of wildfire as a hazard means that one homeowner's wildfire risk is informed not only by their own actions but also those taken by their neighbors. Across the summer and fall of 2022, we distributed a household survey and conducted focus groups in the City of Boulder, which was near but not within the burn area of the Marshall Fire. Using multilevel regression analysis, we explored the role of social and cognitive factors in motivating both the number of adopted adaptation actions and the adoption of specific actions at the household scale. Our analysis points to the role of outcome efficacy and personal responsibility as correlates of homeowner adaptation action to wildfire. Our focus group data lend nuance and insight into our model results and highlight the role of extreme weather and perceptions of community inaction as drivers of low outcome efficacy beliefs and household inaction. Our findings point to the importance of collective action for wildfire as a tool to increase outcome efficacy perceptions and drive action at the household level.

在美国西部，日益增长的野火风险增加了荒地与城市交界家庭的损失和损害。在科罗拉多州，2021年12月的马歇尔大火摧毁了1000多所郊区房屋，成为该州历史上最具破坏性的火灾，也是美国历史上第10大火灾。幸运的是，房主的适应行动可以在防止野火造成的结构破坏或损失方面发挥重要作用。然而，当整个社区协调一致时，行动会更有效，因为野火作为一种危害的性质意味着一个房主的野火风险不仅是通过他们自己的行动，而且是通过他们邻居的行动来了解的。在2022年的夏季和秋季，我们在博尔德市进行了一项家庭调查，并进行了焦点小组调查，博尔德市离马歇尔大火的燃烧区域很近，但不在其范围内。利用多水平回归分析，我们探讨了社会和认知因素在促进采取适应行动的数量和采取具体行动在家庭规模上的作用。我们的分析指出了结果效能和个人责任的作用，作为房主适应野火行动的相关因素。我们的焦点小组数据为我们的模型结果提供了细微差别和洞察力，并强调了极端天气和社区不作为作为低结果有效性信念和家庭不作为驱动因素的作用。我们的研究结果指出，集体行动对野火的重要性，作为提高结果有效性认知和推动家庭层面行动的工具。

Environmental sustainability has become a critical global concern. However, public indifference and inaction may further accelerate the gradual loss of natural heritage. In examining the psychological mechanisms that foster pro-environmental behavior (PEB), researchers have identified awe—an emotion elicited by stimuli that transcend one's comprehension—as a significant promoter of such behavior. Furthermore, the mechanism through which awe influences PEB is both theoretically and practically valuable, and it has attracted the attention of the current study. It is possible that awe towards the natural environment enhances a sense of belonging and unity with nature. This, in turn, may lead to a more positive self-schema centered around moral traits, which can motivate individuals to act in ways that benefit the environment. Therefore, the current study aims to examine the impact of awe on PEB and the mediating roles of nature connectedness and moral identity. Given the gaps in research on adolescents' PEB and their crucial role in the conservation of natural heritage, focusing on this demographic is both timely and meaningful. To achieve our purpose, two studies were conducted. In study 1, 554 middle school students were recruited, and questionnaire surveys revealed significant positive correlations among awe, nature connectedness, moral identity, and PEB. Moreover, nature connectedness and moral identity served as mediators in the relationship between awe and PEB. In study 2, 180 middle school students were recruited, and laboratory experiments using videos to induce state awe demonstrated that induced awe enhances both moral identity and PEB, with the mediators aligning with those identified in Study 1. In summary, this study provides support for the association between awe and adolescents' PEB, as well as the mediating roles of nature connectedness and moral identity, thereby advancing the understanding of PEB. The findings provide valuable insights into strategies for enhancing adolescents' PEB.

环境可持续性已成为全球关注的一个重要问题。然而，公众的冷漠和不作为可能会进一步加速自然遗产的逐渐丧失。在研究促进亲环境行为（PEB）的心理机制时，研究人员已经确定敬畏——一种由超越个人理解的刺激引起的情绪——是这种行为的重要促进因素。此外，敬畏影响PEB的机制具有理论和实践价值，是当前研究的重点。对自然环境的敬畏可能会增强人们对自然的归属感和归属感。反过来，这可能会导致以道德品质为中心的更积极的自我图式，这可以激励个人以有利于环境的方式行事。因此，本研究旨在探讨敬畏对人格行为的影响，以及自然连通性和道德认同的中介作用。鉴于青少年PEB研究的空白及其在自然遗产保护中的关键作用，将重点放在这一人口统计上既及时又有意义。为了达到我们的目的，我们进行了两项研究。研究共招募了554名初中生，问卷调查结果显示敬畏、自然连通性、道德认同与PEB呈显著正相关。此外，自然连通性和道德认同在敬畏与PEB的关系中起中介作用。在研究2中，我们招募了180名中学生，通过视频诱导状态敬畏的实验室实验表明，诱发敬畏同时增强了道德认同和PEB，其中介效应与研究1中发现的一致。综上所述，本研究为敬畏与青少年人格行为之间的关系以及自然连通性和道德认同的中介作用提供了支持，从而促进了对人格行为的理解。研究结果为提高青少年PEB的策略提供了有价值的见解。

This study investigates the relationship between moral framing, political orientation, and pro-environmental attitudes, replicating and extending Feinberg and Willer (2013) in a non-Western context. Using a Turkish-speaking sample (N = 699), we examined the effectiveness of care and sanctity-framed messages and the moderating role of actively open-minded thinking (AOT). Our findings partially replicated the original study. Sanctity framing increased pro-environmental attitudes among conservatives, while care framing had no significant effect. Political conservatism was negatively associated with pro-environmental attitudes, confirming prior findings. Exploratory analyses revealed that AOT moderated the effects of sanctity framing on environmental attitudes, with individuals low or moderate in AOT being more responsive. Both care and sanctity frames increased environmental donation, addressing the intention-behavior gap. However, cultural nuances, such as the collectivist orientation of the sample, may have influenced the care frame's ineffectiveness. The study highlights the importance of cultural context in moral framing research and underscores the need for context-specific climate communication strategies.

本研究复制并扩展了Feinberg和Willer（2013）在非西方背景下的道德框架、政治取向和亲环境态度之间的关系。使用一个说土耳其语的样本（N = 699），我们检验了关怀和神圣框架信息的有效性以及积极开放思维（AOT）的调节作用。我们的发现部分重复了最初的研究。神圣框架增加了保守派的亲环境态度，而关怀框架没有显著影响。政治保守主义与环保态度呈负相关，证实了先前的发现。探索性分析表明，辅助辅助治疗调节了神圣框架对环境态度的影响，辅助辅助治疗水平低或中等的个体反应更积极。关怀和神圣框架都增加了环境捐赠，解决了意图与行为之间的差距。然而，文化的细微差别，如样本的集体主义取向，可能影响了护理框架的无效。该研究强调了文化背景在道德框架研究中的重要性，并强调了针对特定背景的气候传播策略的必要性。

Growing research has examined the association between place attachment and subjective well-being. Nevertheless, this relationship remains insufficiently understood due to methodological limitations and a lack of exploration into the underlying mechanisms. Drawing on the Person-Process-Place framework and Self-Determination Theory, the present research program examined whether place attachment serves a compensatory role when adolescents face typical interpersonal risk (i.e., peer rejection), and enhances subjective well-being by fulfilling basic psychological needs. We conducted three studies with a large sample of Chinese adolescents (total N = 2823). Study 1 preliminarily found a positive correlation between place attachment and subjective well-being using a cross-sectional design. Study 2, employing a three-wave longitudinal design, revealed that basic psychological needs satisfaction mediated this relationship, but only for adolescents who experienced high levels of peer rejection. Study 3 replicated the moderated mediation effect by experimentally manipulating place attachment. The present research is among the first to systematically examine the interaction between place attachment and interpersonal attachment, highlighting that place attachment can buffer against negative outcomes and promote psychological benefits when adolescents face interpersonal risks. These findings also underscored the importance of fostering positive person-place bonds in promoting adolescent psychological development.

越来越多的研究调查了地方依恋和主观幸福感之间的关系。然而，由于方法的限制和缺乏对潜在机制的探索，这种关系仍然没有得到充分的理解。本研究运用人-过程-地点框架和自我决定理论，考察了在青少年面临典型人际风险（同伴排斥）时，地点依恋是否具有补偿作用，并通过满足基本心理需求来增强主观幸福感。我们以中国青少年为大样本进行了三项研究（总N = 2823）。研究1采用横断面设计，初步发现地方依恋与主观幸福感呈正相关。研究2采用三波纵向设计，揭示了基本心理需求满足介导了这种关系，但仅适用于经历高度同伴排斥的青少年。研究3通过实验操纵位置依恋来复制有调节的中介效应。本研究首次系统地考察了地点依恋与人际依恋之间的相互作用，强调了在青少年面临人际风险时，地点依恋可以缓冲负面结果，促进心理利益。这些发现也强调了培养积极的人地关系在促进青少年心理发展中的重要性。

We examined how climate worry, societal and individual efficacy-based climate hope (as a meaning-focused coping strategy), and pro-environmental behavior (PEB; as a problem-focused coping strategy) are related to mental health, namely, depressive and anxiety symptoms. We also studied whether efficacy-based climate hope or PEB (as a problem-focused coping strategy) moderate the association between climate worry and mental health problems. Furthermore, we examined whether PEB, when combined with efficacy-based climate hope, served as a protective factor for mental health. We investigated these associations among Finnish adults (N = 5701) from the ten largest cities in Finland. High levels of climate worry were associated with greater likelihood of experiencing more severe depressive (odds ratio (OR) 1.39, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.13–1.69) and anxiety (OR 1.91, 95 % CI 1.52–2.40) symptoms than low levels of climate worry. Low levels of societal efficacy-based hope were associated with greater likelihood of experiencing more severe depressive (OR 1.26, 95 % CI 1.04–1.69) and anxiety (OR 1.26, 95 % CI 1.02–1.58) symptoms than high levels of societal efficacy-based climate hope. Neither efficacy-based climate hope nor PEB moderated the association between climate worry and mental health. However, individual efficacy-based climate hope moderated the association between PEB and both mental health outcomes. Among those who showed more engagement in PEB, lower levels of individual efficacy-based hope were associated with greater odds of experiencing depressive and anxiety symptoms, in comparison to those who showed more PEB and had higher levels of hope. Although climate worry was related to mental health symptoms in our study, we suggest that the focus of psychological adaptation to climate crisis should not be on eliminating worry, but on finding a way to channel it. Based on our findings, it is possible that a coping strategy integrating behavioral engagement with climate hope may support planetary health by mitigating mental health impacts of climate crisis while simultaneously strengthening commitment to climate change mitigation.

我们研究了气候担忧、基于社会和个人效能的气候希望（作为一种以意义为中心的应对策略）和亲环境行为（PEB；作为一种以问题为中心的应对策略）与心理健康（即抑郁和焦虑症状）的关系。我们还研究了基于疗效的气候希望或PEB（作为一种以问题为中心的应对策略）是否调节了气候担忧与心理健康问题之间的关联。此外，我们研究了当PEB与基于疗效的气候希望结合时，是否作为心理健康的保护因素。我们在芬兰10个最大城市的芬兰成年人（N = 5701）中调查了这些关联。与低水平的气候担忧相比，高水平的气候担忧更有可能经历更严重的抑郁（比值比（OR） 1.39, 95%置信区间（CI） 1.13-1.69）和焦虑（OR 1.91, 95% CI 1.52-2.40）症状。低水平的基于社会效能的希望与高水平的基于社会效能的气候希望相比，更有可能经历更严重的抑郁（OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.04-1.69）和焦虑（OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.02-1.58）症状。以疗效为基础的气候希望和PEB都没有调节气候担忧与心理健康之间的关联。然而，以个人效能为基础的气候希望调节了PEB与两种心理健康结果之间的关联。与那些表现出更多的PEB和更高水平的希望的人相比，那些表现出更多的PEB的人，更低水平的基于个人疗效的希望与经历抑郁和焦虑症状的可能性更大相关。虽然气候担忧在我们的研究中与心理健康症状有关，但我们建议，心理适应气候危机的重点不应该放在消除担忧上，而应该放在找到一种渠道上。根据我们的研究结果，将行为参与与气候希望相结合的应对策略可能会通过减轻气候危机对心理健康的影响，同时加强对减缓气候变化的承诺，来支持地球健康。

Navigation in complex multi-level buildings like shopping malls can be a challenging wayfinding task, especially if the individual is unfamiliar with the building. People need to orient themselves, find reliable landmarks, and develop a mental representation of the environment. For this, different cognitive processes, as well as efficient visual perception, are key. Previous research has found links between visual perception and the quality of mental representation. Research on complex multilevel buildings, however, is missing. To investigate the interaction of visual perception and spatial cognition in such complex buildings, we asked participants (n = 68) to navigate in virtual reality to 10 different shops across four floors of a complex building, revisit 4 of them afterward, and then create a 3D sketchmap of the navigated building. We investigated how the visibility of the goals, being on a wide versus a narrow corridor, would impact wayfinding performance. We measured cognitive load, navigational performance in the search and navigation tasks, and 3D sketchmap quality. We show that wayfinding performance and visual search strategies depend on the type of open spaces in the complex building and that navigation strategies change with increasing spatial knowledge. Our results indicate that there are individual differences in the ability to recognize the visited shops and sketch them in a 3D VR environment. Our results suggest that shops that are visible through large atrium spaces can be found more efficiently when visiting complex buildings for the first time. Once the mental representation of the building has been acquired, navigation performance is even better for shops located on hidden corridors. Our findings highlight the dynamics in creating a mental representation of complex multilevel buildings, how this representation impacts visual search and navigation, and that 3D sketching is a powerful tool for investigating spatial knowledge.

在购物中心等复杂的多层建筑中导航可能是一项具有挑战性的寻路任务，特别是当个人不熟悉该建筑时。人们需要确定自己的方向，找到可靠的地标，并形成对环境的心理表征。为此，不同的认知过程以及有效的视觉感知是关键。先前的研究已经发现了视觉感知和心理表征质量之间的联系。然而，对复杂多层建筑的研究却很少。为了研究这种复杂建筑中视觉感知和空间认知的相互作用，我们要求参与者（n = 68）在虚拟现实中导航到一栋复杂建筑的四层楼中的10个不同的商店，然后重新访问其中的4个，然后创建导航建筑的3D草图。我们调查了目标的可见性，在宽阔和狭窄的走廊上，如何影响寻路性能。我们测量了认知负荷、搜索和导航任务中的导航性能以及3D草图的质量。研究表明，寻路性能和视觉搜索策略取决于复杂建筑中开放空间的类型，导航策略随着空间知识的增加而变化。我们的研究结果表明，在3D VR环境中，识别参观过的商店并描绘它们的能力存在个体差异。我们的研究结果表明，当第一次参观复杂的建筑时，通过大的中庭空间可以更有效地找到商店。一旦获得了建筑物的心理表征，位于隐藏走廊上的商店的导航性能甚至更好。我们的研究结果强调了创建复杂多层建筑的心理表征的动态，这种表征如何影响视觉搜索和导航，以及3D草图是研究空间知识的强大工具。

Climate change is often deemed a “wicked problem” due to complex interactions between many variables and the resulting uncertainty for decision-making. While understanding complexity is useful for addressing climate change, complexity can also present a barrier to action. But how can individual perceptions of complexity in sustainability be operationalized, and how are these perceptions related to support for climate policy and sustainable behavioral intentions? Drawing on a theoretical framework of complex decision-making, we constructed and validated a scale to measure the perceived complexity of sustainability (PCS) across three studies in the UK (total N = 1176). Exploratory (Studies 1 and 2) and confirmatory (Study 3) factor analyses supported a three-factor scale structure, comprising effectiveness uncertainty, trade-offs between different environmental actions, and conflicts between sustainability and other goals. We found the 12-item PCS scale to be a reliable and valid measure that correlates positively with climate change skepticism and negatively with support for climate policy and sustainable behavioral intentions. Understanding the perceived complexity of sustainability can help in developing guidelines for scientists and governments to communicate about climate change responses to the public.

由于许多变量之间复杂的相互作用以及由此产生的决策不确定性，气候变化通常被认为是一个“棘手的问题”。虽然了解复杂性有助于应对气候变化，但复杂性也可能成为行动的障碍。但是，个人对可持续性复杂性的认知如何被操作，这些认知如何与对气候政策和可持续行为意图的支持相关？利用复杂决策的理论框架，我们构建并验证了一个量表，用于测量英国三项研究（总N = 1176）的可持续性（PCS）感知复杂性。探索性（研究1和研究2）和验证性（研究3）因素分析支持三因素量表结构，包括有效性不确定性、不同环境行动之间的权衡以及可持续性与其他目标之间的冲突。我们发现12项PCS量表是一种可靠有效的测量方法，与气候变化怀疑论呈正相关，与支持气候政策和可持续行为意愿负相关。了解可持续性的复杂性可以帮助科学家和政府制定指导方针，以便与公众沟通气候变化的应对措施。

Floods pose a significant risk to societies, especially in Asia. Individual flood-adaptive behaviour can successfully reduce flood impacts. The literature suggests that perceived social norms influence adaptive behaviour, but how they do so currently needs to be better understood. Perceived social norms refer to an individual's beliefs around (1) society's approval of a behavior (injunctive norms), (2) what others do (descriptive norms), and (3) what important others expect the individual to do (subjective norms). This paper explores the role of social norms in adaptive behaviour alongside more commonly researched factors, such as threat and coping appraisals as described in Protection Motivation Theory (PMT), using structured face-to-face interviews with 351 randomly selected respondents from Vietnam. To better understand the role of social norms, we compare two theoretical models based on PMT, with and without the inclusion of social norms. Next, we apply a data-driven modelling approach in which covariates of the logistic regression model are systematically selected based on significance level and model performance. Results show that social norms significantly influence the implementation of flood-adaptative measures. However, the influential norms appear to be measure-specific: descriptive norms influence the preparation of emergency devices, while subjective norms influence livelihood adaptations. Different types of social norms and context-specific factors should thus be considered in well-established behavioural theories and risk policies aimed at enhancing flood-adaptive behaviour.

洪水对社会构成重大威胁，尤其是在亚洲。个体的洪水适应行为可以成功地减少洪水的影响。文献表明，感知到的社会规范影响适应性行为，但它们是如何起作用的，目前需要更好地理解。感知社会规范是指个体对以下方面的信念：(1)社会对一种行为的认可（禁令规范），(2)他人的行为（描述性规范），以及(3)他人期望个体做的重要事情（主观规范）。本文探讨了社会规范在适应行为中的作用，以及更常见的研究因素，如保护动机理论（PMT）中描述的威胁和应对评估，通过对来自越南的351名随机选择的受访者进行结构化面对面访谈。为了更好地理解社会规范的作用，我们比较了两种基于PMT的理论模型，包括社会规范和不包括社会规范。接下来，我们应用数据驱动的建模方法，其中根据显著性水平和模型性能系统地选择逻辑回归模型的协变量。结果表明，社会规范对洪水适应措施的实施有显著影响。然而，有影响的规范似乎是针对具体措施的：描述性规范影响应急装置的准备，而主观规范影响生计适应。因此，在旨在加强洪水适应行为的既定行为理论和风险政策中，应考虑不同类型的社会规范和具体环境因素。
