Research has demonstrated how natural and built environments influence health behaviors and outcomes. Although substantial work has examined college student health, the relationship between campus environments and health outcomes requires further exploration at multiple levels. To address this critical gap, we surveyed 410 students enrolled in a large university in Texas to examine how campus environments (i.e. greenness and walkability) affect psychological distress, considering campus life experiences (i.e. academic life satisfaction and university stress) as mediators. We employed structural equation models to explore the direct and indirect pathways among these variables. The results indicate that perceived campus environments contribute to reducing psychological distress, and campus life experiences further mediate this relationship. Specifically, academic life satisfaction significantly mediates one of the pathways linking campus environments and psychological distress. Academic life satisfaction and university stress collectively formed another significant mediation pathway, where campus environments influence psychological distress by improving academic life satisfaction and alleviating university stress. Additionally, campus greenness/walkability affected academic life satisfaction through psychological distress. The study provides valuable guidance for campus planners and policymakers, suggesting that strategies prioritizing green spaces, pedestrian-friendly pathways, and easy access to daily destinations can enhance student academic life satisfaction and mitigate stress, which in turn reduces psychological distress and improves overall well-being. Future research should adopt an integrated Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) approach to campus environments and psychosocial aspects of student life, considering pathways involving restorative mechanisms, instorative processes, and harm reduction to inform more effective healthy university planning.

研究已经证明了自然环境和人造环境如何影响健康行为和结果。虽然已经有大量的工作对大学生健康进行了调查，但校园环境与健康结果之间的关系还需要在多个层面上进一步探索。为了解决这一关键差距，我们调查了德克萨斯州一所大型大学的410名学生，以研究校园环境（即绿化和步行性）如何影响心理困扰，并考虑校园生活经历（即学术生活满意度和大学压力）作为中介。我们采用结构方程模型来探索这些变量之间的直接和间接途径。结果表明，感知校园环境有助于减少心理困扰，而校园生活体验进一步调节了这一关系。具体而言，学术生活满意度显著地调节了校园环境与心理困扰之间的一条通路。学业生活满意度与大学压力共同形成了另一条显著的中介路径，校园环境通过提高学业生活满意度和缓解大学压力来影响心理困扰。此外，校园绿化/步行性通过心理困扰影响学术生活满意度。该研究为校园规划者和政策制定者提供了有价值的指导，表明优先考虑绿色空间、行人友好的路径和通往日常目的地的便利的策略可以提高学生的学术生活满意度，减轻压力，从而减少心理困扰，提高整体幸福感。未来的研究应该采用基于自然的综合解决方案（NBS）的方法来研究校园环境和学生生活的社会心理方面，考虑涉及恢复机制、恢复过程和减少伤害的途径，从而为更有效的健康大学规划提供信息。

It is widely acknowledged that light plays an important role in individuals' perception and cognitive functions. However, the optimal daytime lighting levels that benefit office workers' experience, performance, and physiology remain to be fully elucidated, as most studies to date have evaluated only two to three lighting conditions at low and high illuminance levels. This study employed a within-subjects design with six lighting conditions based on melanopic equivalent daylight illuminance (melanopic EDI) set at equal logarithmic intervals, with melanopic EDI values of 54 lx, 90 lx, 150 lx, 250 lx, 417 lx, and 694 lx at eye level. Thirty healthy participants were exposed to each lighting condition for 75 min, and their feedback, task performance, and physiological parameters were collected. Results indicated that the most comfortable and satisfactory lighting condition was the melanopic EDI of 150 lx, while no statistically significant differences were found in subjective alertness and mood. The effects of lighting on cognitive performance was related to the task type. Scores of memory and problem-solving tasks all increased with melanopic EDI set at 250 lx, while performance on other tasks did not improve significantly across lighting levels. Additionally, no statistically significant differences were found in physiological measures such as heart rate and skin temperature. By experimentally exploring multiple lighting conditions, this study provides insights into the quantitative specification of lighting levels for visual and non-visual needs. The findings suggest a divergence, with a melanopic EDI of 150 lx facilitating comfort and satisfaction, while 250 lx enhancing cognitive performance. Notably, higher lighting levels did not always lead to better outcomes, with the highest level (melanopic EDI = 694 lx) even reducing comfort and satisfaction.

人们普遍认为，光在个体的感知和认知功能中起着重要作用。然而，白天的最佳照明水平，有利于办公室工作人员的经验，性能和生理仍有待充分阐明，因为大多数研究迄今为止只评估了两到三种照明条件下的低和高照度水平。本研究采用受试者内部设计，根据黑视等效日光照度（melanopic EDI）以等对数间隔设置6种照明条件，黑视等效日光照度在眼平处分别为54 lx、90 lx、150 lx、250 lx、417 lx和694 lx。30名健康被试分别暴露于每种照明条件下75分钟，收集他们的反馈、任务表现和生理参数。结果显示，最舒适、最满意的照明条件为150lx的黑视EDI，而主观警觉性和情绪方面无统计学差异。光照对认知表现的影响与任务类型有关。记忆和问题解决任务的得分都随着暗视EDI设置为250 lx而增加，而其他任务的表现在不同照明水平下没有显著提高。此外，在心率和皮肤温度等生理指标上没有发现统计学上的显著差异。通过实验探索多种照明条件，本研究为视觉和非视觉需求的照明水平的定量规范提供了见解。研究结果显示了一种差异，150 lx的黑视EDI促进了舒适和满意度，而250 lx的黑视EDI增强了认知表现。值得注意的是，更高的照明水平并不总是带来更好的结果，最高的照明水平（黑视EDI = 694 lx）甚至会降低舒适度和满意度。

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a powerful deep-learning method for creating and manipulating images. In this paper, we investigated the use of GANs in environmental psychology and architecture to analyse human evaluations of architectural facades. We trained StyleGAN2-ADA, a state-of-the-art GAN model, on a dataset of 2000 house images collected for the study (CalHouses). Each house was labelled with rating scores describing how it was perceived. The goal of the first study was to generate labels through an online experiment with 204 participants. Each image was rated by 10 participants on five psychological dimensions: hominess, safety, invitingness, relaxation, and perceived price. The goal of the second study was to evaluate 2000 artificial images, generated by the GAN, by having another sample of 204 participants rate the images on the same psychological dimensions. The statistical analyses showed that participants’ ratings of the GAN-generated images aligned with the targeted characteristics of the psychological dimensions used during generation. A visual analysis of the artificial images indicated that the degree of naturalness, the size and complexity of the house, and the number of openings are potentially relevant features for the evaluation of detached houses on the five investigated psychological dimensions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to utilise GANs to analyse architectural design relative to human evaluations, highlighting its potential as a research method in environmental psychology to investigate architecture.

生成对抗网络（GANs）是一种强大的深度学习方法，用于创建和处理图像。在本文中，我们研究了gan在环境心理学和建筑学中的应用，以分析人类对建筑立面的评价。我们在为研究收集的2000个房屋图像数据集（CalHouses）上训练了StyleGAN2-ADA，这是一种最先进的GAN模型。每所房子都贴上了评级分数，描述了人们对它的看法。第一项研究的目标是通过204名参与者的在线实验生成标签。每张图片由10名参与者在五个心理维度上打分：温馨、安全、吸引力、放松和感知价格。第二项研究的目标是评估由人工神经网络生成的2000张人工图像，并让另外204名参与者在相同的心理维度上对这些图像进行评分。统计分析表明，参与者对gan生成的图像的评分与生成过程中使用的心理维度的目标特征一致。人工图像的视觉分析表明，自然程度、房屋的大小和复杂性以及开口的数量是评估独立住宅的五个心理维度的潜在相关特征。据我们所知，这是第一个利用gan来分析建筑设计与人类评估的研究，突出了它作为环境心理学研究建筑的研究方法的潜力。

There is increasing interest in using natural environments as therapeutic tools to enhance mental wellbeing. This systematic review analyzed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the effects of natural environments on cognition, mood, and stress in adults. A comprehensive search was conducted across databases, including Web of Science, PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Embase, covering studies published up to July 2024. The review included 40 studies that focused solely on the effects of natural environments, excluding studies with additional interventions. Most studies suggested mood enhancement from nature exposure. The evidence for cognitive benefits was weak, with inconsistent findings regarding improvements in memory and attention. The impact on stress was mixed, with some studies indicating stress relief benefits, while others found no significant effects. The mixed results may be due to variations in stimulus types, exposure durations, study designs, and diverse measurement methods. While natural environments show potential benefits for cognition, mood, and stress, further research is needed to clarify their potential efficacy and systematically explore the underlying mechanisms.

人们对利用自然环境作为提高心理健康的治疗工具越来越感兴趣。本系统综述分析了随机对照试验（rct），以评估自然环境对成人认知、情绪和压力的影响。在Web of Science、PubMed、PsycINFO、Scopus和Embase等数据库中进行了全面的搜索，涵盖了截至2024年7月发表的研究。该综述包括40项仅关注自然环境影响的研究，不包括有额外干预措施的研究。大多数研究表明，接触大自然可以改善情绪。认知益处的证据很弱，在记忆力和注意力的改善方面的发现不一致。对压力的影响好坏参半，一些研究表明缓解压力有好处，而另一些研究则发现没有明显的效果。不同的结果可能是由于刺激类型、暴露时间、研究设计和不同的测量方法的变化。虽然自然环境对认知、情绪和压力有潜在的好处，但需要进一步的研究来阐明它们的潜在功效，并系统地探索潜在的机制。

Nature sensitivity captures individual differences in how children and adolescents emotionally and cognitively engage with the natural environment, playing a critical role in shaping pro-environmental behaviors. However, existing measures are fragmented in their theoretical foundations and often overlook individual differences in reactivity to diverse natural stimuli. Guided by the environmental sensitivity model and complementary person-environment interaction theories, this research developed and validated a multidimensional Nature Sensitivity Scale (NSS) for children and adolescents, and examined its structural relationship with sensory processing sensitivity (SPS). Across four studies involving valid responses from 1,682 participants aged 7 to 17, we identified and validated a reliable four-factor structure of nature sensitivity: Nature Awareness, Nature Empathy, Nature Susceptibility, and Nature Restoration, which reflect differentiated reactivity to both positively and negatively valenced natural experiences. The NSS demonstrated strong internal consistency, good convergent and discriminant validity, and configural and metric invariance across educational stages. Furthermore, network analysis revealed that NSS and the Highly Sensitive Child Scale (HSC) formed two distinct but interconnected clusters, indicating that nature sensitivity represents a domain-specific and structurally integrated manifestation of broader environmental sensitivity. These findings clarify the conceptual structure of nature sensitivity and provide a psychometrically sound instrument for its assessment. The NSS offers a theoretically grounded tool for identifying individual differences in nature-related reactivity and supporting personalized environmental education and intervention efforts in childhood and adolescence.

自然敏感性反映了儿童和青少年在情感和认知上如何与自然环境互动的个体差异，在塑造亲环境行为方面发挥着关键作用。然而，现有的测量方法在其理论基础上是碎片化的，并且经常忽视个体对各种自然刺激的反应差异。在环境敏感性模型和人-环境互补互动理论的指导下，本研究开发并验证了儿童青少年多维自然敏感性量表（NSS），并考察了其与感觉加工敏感性（SPS）的结构关系。通过对1682名年龄在7岁至17岁的参与者进行的四项研究，我们确定并验证了一个可靠的自然敏感性四因素结构：自然意识、自然同理心、自然敏感性和自然恢复，它们反映了对积极和消极价值的自然体验的不同反应。NSS具有较强的内部一致性，良好的收敛效度和判别效度，以及跨教育阶段的结构和度量不变性。此外，网络分析显示，NSS和高敏感儿童量表（HSC）形成了两个不同但相互关联的集群，表明自然敏感性代表了更广泛的环境敏感性的特定领域和结构整合的表现。这些发现澄清了自然敏感性的概念结构，并为其评估提供了一种心理测量学上健全的工具。NSS提供了一个理论基础的工具，用于识别与自然相关的反应性的个体差异，并支持个性化的儿童和青少年环境教育和干预工作。

Rapid urbanization has transformed residential environments and social structures while intensifying social polarization and weakening community bonds. Although previous studies emphasize the role of neighborhood environments in shaping community attachment, they often fail to quantify their relative importance and tend to rely on linear models, overlooking complex interactions. This study examines work-unit communities (danwei communities, former work-unit housing that has evolved with the market economy) in Lanzhou, China, using 5750 survey responses and objective community data. Extreme Gradient Boosting and Shapley Additive exPlanations are employed to evaluate the relative importance and nonlinear effects of physical and social neighborhood environments on community attachment while controlling for individual attributes. Results show that physical environments exert a stronger overall influence than social environments, with physical factors having a more pronounced impact at the housing estate scale than at broader community or narrower building scales. Furthermore, the analysis reveals nonlinear relationships between neighborhood environmental factors and community attachment. Specifically, the density of traffic and educational facilities, along with the number of neighborhood friends, exhibits an inverted U-shaped relationship with community attachment, whereas internal infrastructure, sanitary conditions, and activity participation show a consistently positive nonlinear relationship. These findings provide planning implications for optimizing the neighborhood physical and social environments to enhance emotional attachment and cultivate socially cohesive communities.

快速城市化改变了居住环境和社会结构，同时加剧了社会两极分化，削弱了社区纽带。虽然以前的研究强调邻里环境在塑造社区依恋中的作用，但它们往往无法量化其相对重要性，并倾向于依赖线性模型，忽视了复杂的相互作用。本研究利用5750份调查问卷和客观的社区数据，对中国兰州的工作单位社区（单间社区，随着市场经济的发展而演变的原工作单位住房）进行了调查。在控制个体属性的情况下，采用极端梯度增强和Shapley加性解释来评价物理环境和社会邻里环境对社区依恋的相对重要性和非线性效应。结果表明，自然环境的整体影响强于社会环境，在小区尺度上，自然因素的影响比在更大的社区或更窄的建筑尺度上的影响更明显。此外，分析还揭示了邻里环境因素与社区依恋之间的非线性关系。具体来说，交通和教育设施的密度以及邻居朋友的数量与社区依恋呈倒u型关系，而内部基础设施、卫生条件和活动参与则呈现出一致的正非线性关系。这些发现为优化社区物理和社会环境以增强情感依恋和培育社会凝聚力社区提供了规划意义。

The role of religion and spirituality in pro-environmental commitment in secular societies like the European ones is understudied, and it is unclear whether it is unique, beyond relevant individual differences. In Study 1 (342 adults in Belgium), we measured pro-environmental identity and behavior, collective identities, awe, generativity, authenticity, self-enhancement (power/achievement), openness-intellect, political orientation, religiosity, fundamentalism, and spirituality. Uniquely and additively, awe, left-wing orientation, and low religiosity predicted pro-environmental identity; and generativity, openness-intellect, low self-enhancement, and low religiosity—more importantly than for identity—predicted pro-environmental behavior. Fundamentalism predicted low pro-environmental behavior partly through low awe and high self-enhancement; (non-religious) spirituality predicted the opposite partly through high awe, generativity, and openness-intellect. In Study 2, analyses of EVS 2017 data (N = 53.410, 33 countries) showed that atheists are more pro-environmentalist than religionists, but, across religious-cultural zones, spiritual people outperform religionists and nonbelievers in pro-environmental attitudes, an effect existing beyond those of generativity (care for others, performance orientation), global identity, and political orientation. The two studies converge on that in, mostly secularized, European societies, beyond the role of relevant psychological characteristics, religiosity, not only fundamentalism, seems to undermine pro-environmental engagement, whereas spirituality does the opposite as far as it disconnects from traditional religion.

在像欧洲这样的世俗社会中，宗教和灵性在环保承诺中的作用还没有得到充分的研究，而且除了相关的个体差异之外，还不清楚它是否独一无二。在研究1（342名比利时成年人）中，我们测量了亲环境认同和行为、集体认同、敬畏、生成、真实性、自我提升（权力/成就）、开放-智力、政治取向、宗教信仰、原教旨主义和灵性。独特的和附加的是，敬畏、左翼取向和低宗教信仰预测了亲环境认同；而创造性、开放性、智力、低自我提升和低宗教信仰——比身份更重要——预测了亲环境行为。原教旨主义通过低敬畏和高自我提升来预测低亲环境行为；（非宗教的）灵性部分地通过高度敬畏、创造性和开放的智力来预测相反的结果。在研究2中，对EVS 2017数据（N = 53.410, 33个国家）的分析表明，无神论者比宗教人士更亲环境，但是，在宗教-文化区，有信仰的人在亲环境态度上优于宗教人士和无信仰者，这种影响存在于生成性（关心他人、绩效取向）、全球认同和政治取向之外。这两项研究都认为，在大多数世俗化的欧洲社会中，除了相关心理特征的作用之外，宗教虔诚，不仅是原教旨主义，似乎破坏了亲环境的参与，而灵性则相反，因为它与传统宗教脱节。

Emerging studies have suggested that the experience of anxiety associated with climate change can take a toll on people's mental health. While researchers and mental health professionals have emphasized the roles of parents in helping children and adolescents cope with climate change anxiety, they have yet to consider how parents' experience of climate change anxiety may hamper their parenting roles. This gap warrants research attention, as the experience of mental tolls possibly reduces parents' psychological capacities for attending to the needs and well-being of their children. The present research fills this gap by examining the relationships between climate change anxiety and maladaptive parenting practices (i.e., low autonomy support, high psychological control, and high inconsistent parenting) among a sample of US parents, with a three-wave longitudinal design (N at Time 1 = 684). Our results from the partial least square-structural equation modeling showed that maladaptive parenting practices were associated with concurrent climate change anxiety and prior parenting practices. These results suggest the possibility that climate change anxiety, as a mental toll, has an immediate and contemporaneous impact on maladaptive parenting practices, which contribute to the accumulation of such practices over time. Overall, our findings provide preliminary support to the notion that climate change anxiety can bear negative consequences to parenting practices, which may undermine their role in assisting their children to cope with climate change anxiety.

新出现的研究表明，与气候变化相关的焦虑经历会对人们的心理健康造成损害。虽然研究人员和心理健康专家强调了父母在帮助儿童和青少年应对气候变化焦虑方面的作用，但他们尚未考虑父母对气候变化焦虑的经历可能会如何影响他们的养育角色。这一差距值得研究关注，因为心理创伤的经历可能会降低父母照顾孩子需求和幸福的心理能力。本研究采用三波纵向设计（N at Time 1 = 684），通过研究气候变化焦虑与美国父母样本中适应不良的养育方式（即低自主性支持、高心理控制和高不一致的养育方式）之间的关系，填补了这一空白。我们的偏最小二乘结构方程模型的结果表明，不适应的育儿实践与气候变化焦虑和先前的育儿实践同时存在关联。这些结果表明，气候变化焦虑作为一种心理代价，可能会对不适应的养育方式产生直接和同步的影响，而这种影响会导致这种做法随着时间的推移而积累。总的来说，我们的研究结果为气候变化焦虑会对父母行为产生负面影响的观点提供了初步支持，这可能会破坏他们在帮助孩子应对气候变化焦虑方面的作用。

While research into heatwaves and mental health is expanding rapidly, the sub-clinical wellbeing impacts of extreme heat remain understudied. This study examined how UK residents' mental wellbeing was affected during the unprecedented July 2022 heatwave and identified key predictors of vulnerability to heat-related psychological impacts. Using mixed-methods analysis of national survey data (N = 1485), we found that nearly half (43.5 %) of participants experienced negative wellbeing effects during the heatwave. These impacts ranged from negative emotions and moods, to adverse cognitive, physical, and social effects. Hierarchical ordinal regression revealed that age, distance from greenspace, caring responsibilities, and disability/long-term health conditions significantly predicted greater vulnerability, while community belonging and psychological resilience emerged as protective factors. With extreme heat events projected to increase across the UK due to climate change, these findings highlight an urgent need for public health and adaptation policies to address the substantial sub-clinical mental wellbeing impacts of heatwaves and the intersecting vulnerabilities that amplify risk.

虽然对热浪和心理健康的研究正在迅速扩大，但极端高温对亚临床健康的影响仍未得到充分研究。这项研究调查了2022年7月前所未有的热浪对英国居民心理健康的影响，并确定了易受高温相关心理影响的关键预测因素。通过对全国调查数据（N = 1485）的混合方法分析，我们发现近一半（43.5%）的参与者在热浪期间经历了负面的健康影响。这些影响包括负面情绪和情绪，以及不利的认知、身体和社会影响。分层有序回归显示，年龄、与绿地的距离、照顾责任和残疾/长期健康状况显著预测了更大的脆弱性，而社区归属感和心理弹性则成为保护因素。由于气候变化，预计极端高温事件将在英国各地增加，这些发现强调了公共卫生和适应政策的迫切需要，以解决热浪对亚临床心理健康的重大影响，以及放大风险的交叉脆弱性。

Despite scientific consensus on anthropogenic climate change, public perceptions remain divergent across populations. This study examines how different domains of climate change knowledge predict climate change perceptions across three theoretically distinct Polish samples: general citizens (N = 1920), university students (N = 912), and academic scientists (N = 276). We tested three theoretical frameworks—the knowledge-deficit model, gateway belief model, and cultural cognition thesis—using objective knowledge measures across physical, causal, and consequences domains of climate science. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that causal knowledge (understanding human causation of climate change) consistently emerged as the strongest predictor of climate change perceptions across all samples, explaining 15–25 % of variance in final models. Physical knowledge about climate processes showed minimal predictive power in most groups, while knowledge about climate consequences predicted perceptions among citizens and scientists but not students. Left-wing political orientation strongly predicted climate perceptions, particularly among educated groups (students and scientists), supporting cultural cognition theory predictions about ideologically motivated reasoning. However, the robust predictive effect of causal knowledge across diverse populations demonstrates that scientific consensus communication can transcend ideological divisions. These findings suggest that climate education initiatives should strategically prioritize consensus messaging about human causation rather than focusing primarily on physical processes or catastrophic consequences. The results support integrating rather than opposing these theoretical frameworks, revealing complementary mechanisms underlying climate attitude formation.

尽管科学界对人为气候变化达成共识，但公众对气候变化的看法在不同人群中仍存在分歧。本研究考察了气候变化知识的不同领域如何在三个理论上不同的波兰样本中预测气候变化感知：普通公民（N = 1920），大学生（N = 912）和学术科学家（N = 276）。我们测试了三个理论框架——知识赤字模型、门户信念模型和文化认知理论——使用客观知识测量气候科学的物理、因果和后果领域。层次回归分析显示，因果知识（理解人类对气候变化的因果关系）始终是所有样本中对气候变化感知的最强预测因子，在最终模型中解释了15 - 25%的方差。关于气候过程的物理知识在大多数群体中显示出最小的预测能力，而关于气候后果的知识可以预测公民和科学家的看法，但不能预测学生的看法。左翼政治倾向强烈地预测了气候感知，特别是在受过教育的群体（学生和科学家）中，支持文化认知理论对意识形态动机推理的预测。然而，因果知识在不同人群中的强大预测效应表明，科学共识沟通可以超越意识形态分歧。这些发现表明，气候教育倡议应该在战略上优先考虑关于人类因果关系的共识信息，而不是主要关注物理过程或灾难性后果。结果支持整合而不是反对这些理论框架，揭示了气候态度形成背后的互补机制。
