Historical psychology is an emerging area of research aimed at understanding how historical processes influence the mind, including people’s beliefs, values, and attitudes. As an introduction to this special issue on historical psychology, we review the origins, current pressing questions, and the future of this new field. Our review of the field’s development underscores how historical psychology has been a longstanding topic in psychological science, even though it has only recently emerged as a formal area of inquiry. Our review of pressing questions situates each of the papers in the present special issue within broader lines of research concerning how economic development shapes values, how and why intergroup attitudes change over time, and how contact and conflict shape behavioral outcomes. In our section on the future, we call for more theory-driven research in historical psychology, more recognition of path-dependent cultural change, and historical analysis of a broader range of psychological variables beyond attitudes and beliefs. As historical psychology continues to mature, we look ahead to a richer and more rigorous understanding how the mind has changed over time.

Research on workplace waste separation remains fragmented, often focusing either on socio-contextual variables from organizational literature or on socio-cognitive mechanisms from behavioral decision-making models. This study aimed to explore the determinants of workplace separation of plastic, glass, and aluminum by developing a novel, comprehensive model that integrates the theory of planned behavior (TPB) with two prominent constructs from organizational research: environmentally specific transformational leadership (ETFL) and green organizational climate (GOC). The hypothesized model conceptualized GOC as an antecedent of the proximal determinants of intention and ETFL as an antecedent of GOC. Moreover, ETFL was hypothesized to shape behavior through the sequential mediation of GOC and TPB’s constructs. A two-wave prospective design was employed using online surveys administered to a convenience sample of 711 Italian working adults. At T1, the participants completed self-reported measures of ETFL, GOC, and TPB’s variables. One month later, at T2, the participants reported their waste separation behavior over the previous month. The relational model, tested using structural equation modeling (SEM), explained 48.2 % and 36.4 % of variance in intention and behavior, respectively. All hypothesized direct effects were supported, except for the paths from injunctive norm to intention and from perceived behavioral control to behavior. Two sequential mediation pathways were identified: one linking ETFL to behavior via GOC, descriptive norm, and intention; the other via GOC, perceived behavioral control, and intention. The results underscore the central role of leaders in translating organizational environmental goals into employees’ daily actions, thereby offering practical implications for waste management in workplace settings.

Individual private-sphere approaches to sustainable behavior have been a core research interest for the last decades and have demonstrated to be of importance for a sustainability transformation. This perspective of private-sphere behavior has increasingly been enriched by a focus on community-based approaches. In this context, a particular interest is given to sustainable communities (e.g., eco-villages, community-supported agricultures). Sustainable communities are often ascribed a transformative potential to pave the way to a more sustainable future. However, the complexity of individuals’ decisions to join a sustainable community has only rarely been addressed in previous research. Taking a process-oriented approach, 28 narrative interviews with members actively involved in sustainable communities were conducted to gain an in-depth understanding of pathways leading individuals to join these communities. The interviews were analyzed based on key elements of narratives including life experiences across different developmental stages, personal motives, and transformative experiences. Different systematic configurations could be identified. These were integrated into different pathways to a sustainable community: first, seeing the sustainable community as the next logical step in an increasingly sustainable lifestyle, second, wishing to experience a sense of community and solidarity, and third, a search for alternatives to mainstream societal structures. Fostering engagement in sustainable communities and other forms of sustainability-related action could have the potential to upscale these approaches to contribute to socio-ecological transition processes.
