People with lower social status not only have less access to natural areas, but also report significantly lower intentions to actively engage in nature protecting behaviors. The present paper explores psychological mechanisms underlying these findings. For this purpose, social status is assessed in two ways: by education and income and the social milieu concept. The psychological determinants of nature conservation behaviors are operationalized via an extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) with social identity, problem awareness and connection to nature as additional predictors. The focus of the empirical analyzes is on the question of how social status influences the expression and structural relationships of extended TPB constructs. The data used comes from a representative German population sample (N = 2410), retrieved by the 2021 Nature Awareness Study of the Ministry for Environment and the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation. Analyses indicate measurement invariance of the scales used for assessing the nine extended TPB constructs across different social milieus. Furthermore, the structural relationships of the extended TPB model as well as their estimated strength (regression coefficients) could be set equal across the social milieus. However, participants assigned to high-status social milieus report on average higher expressions of the nine constructs of the extended TPB model than participants assigned to lower status social milieus. These results indicate that social status influences nature protecting behavioral intentions indirectly through the mediation of psychological constructs. The practical implication of these results for interventions development are discussed as well as further research needs.

社会地位较低的人不仅较少接触自然区域，而且积极参与自然保护行为的意愿也明显较低。本文探讨了这些发现背后的心理机制。为此，社会地位的评估有两种方式：教育和收入以及社会环境概念。自然保护行为的心理决定因素通过扩展的计划行为理论（TPB）进行操作，并将社会认同、问题意识和与自然的联系作为额外的预测因素。实证分析的重点是社会地位如何影响扩展TPB构式的表达和结构关系。使用的数据来自具有代表性的德国人口样本（N = 2410），由环境部和联邦自然保护署的2021年自然意识研究检索。分析表明，在不同的社会环境中，用于评估九个扩展TPB结构的量表具有测量不变性。此外，扩展的TPB模型的结构关系及其估计强度（回归系数）可以在整个社会环境中设置为相等。然而，社会地位高的参与者报告的9个扩展TPB模型构念的平均表达高于社会地位低的参与者。研究结果表明，社会地位通过心理构念间接影响自然保护行为意向。讨论了这些结果对干预措施发展的实际意义以及进一步的研究需求。

Apologies serve as crucial tools for relationship repair, promoting reconciliation, and demonstrating accountability. However, beliefs about the morality, effectiveness, and responsibility-signaling nature of apologies may vary across cultures, particularly in contexts shaped by honor norms where apologies fit central cultural concerns for morality and strength in ambiguous ways. This study investigates the relation between apology beliefs and cultural honor norms across 14 Mediterranean, East Asian, and Anglo-Western samples (N = 5296). We assessed personal and normative beliefs about apologies and their alignment with apology tendencies (willingness to apologize and past offered apologies) as well as intersubjectively rated honor norms. Results revealed that stronger beliefs in the morality and effectiveness of apologies, as well as perceptions of apologies as admissions of responsibility, consistently predicted greater willingness to apologize across regions and past apologies offered. Against our expectations, honor norms moderated only a few of these relations, with significant interactions suggesting weaker links between apology beliefs and apology tendencies at stronger honor norms. Complementary analyses comparing regional categorizations (Anglo-West, East Asia, and MENA) further supported a picture of relative cultural similarities but also highlighted a wider array of relevant apology beliefs in the MENA region as well as a greater focus on personal morality beliefs in Anglo Western societies and personal effectiveness beliefs in East Asian societies. Our findings underscore the universal significance of apology beliefs in fostering reconciliation while also revealing some cultural variability in how personal beliefs and cultural norms may interact in shaping apology-related behaviors across diverse societies.

道歉是修复关系、促进和解和证明责任的关键工具。然而，关于道歉的道德、有效性和责任信号性质的信念可能因文化而异，特别是在荣誉规范形成的背景下，道歉以模糊的方式符合道德和力量的核心文化关注。本研究调查了14个地中海、东亚和盎格鲁-西方样本（N = 5296）的道歉信念与文化荣誉规范的关系。我们评估了关于道歉的个人和规范性信念，以及它们与道歉倾向（道歉的意愿和过去的道歉）的一致性，以及主体间评价的荣誉规范。结果显示，对道歉的道德和有效性有更强的信念，以及将道歉视为承认责任的观念，一致预示着跨地区的更大的道歉意愿和过去的道歉。与我们的预期相反，荣誉规范只调节了这些关系中的一小部分，显著的相互作用表明，在更强的荣誉规范下，道歉信念和道歉倾向之间的联系较弱。比较区域分类（盎格鲁-西方、东亚和中东和北非）的补充分析进一步支持了相对的文化相似性，但也强调了中东和北非地区更广泛的相关道歉信念，以及更关注盎格鲁-西方社会的个人道德信念和东亚社会的个人效能信念。我们的研究结果强调了道歉信念在促进和解方面的普遍意义，同时也揭示了在不同社会中，个人信仰和文化规范如何在形成道歉相关行为方面相互作用的一些文化差异。

Is abortion policy the next catalyst for ideological migration? Dobbs v. Jackson and migration intentions across the United States 堕胎政策会是意识形态迁移的下一个催化剂吗？多布斯诉杰克逊案和美国各地的移民意向

The overturning of federal abortion protections by the U.S. Supreme Court in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization has shifted abortion regulation to state legislatures. This study investigates whether impending changes in state-level abortion policies could trigger ideological migration across the country, where individuals relocate to align with states that match their political and moral beliefs. We surveyed a sample of Americans (N = 743) two weeks after the Dobbs v. Jackson decision to investigate whether pro-choice and pro-life advocates experienced a diminished sense of belonging and stronger intentions to migrate when their state's anticipated abortion policy conflicted with their beliefs. The results provided support for the ideological migration hypothesis, showing that those in states expected to implement abortion laws contrary to their beliefs reported lower belonging and a heightened desire to relocate. They were also more likely to consider relocating to a state with abortion policies that better aligned with their ideological views. Our findings highlight how state-level abortion policy changes could amplify political polarization and contribute to increased regional ideological sorting.

美国最高法院在多布斯诉杰克逊妇女健康组织案中推翻了联邦堕胎保护，将堕胎监管转移到了州立法机构。这项研究调查了州一级堕胎政策即将发生的变化是否会引发全国范围内的意识形态迁移，即个人迁移到与他们的政治和道德信仰相符的州。在多布斯诉杰克逊案判决两周后，我们调查了一组美国人样本（N = 743），调查当他们所在州预期的堕胎政策与他们的信仰相冲突时，支持堕胎和反对堕胎的倡导者是否会感受到归属感的减弱和更强烈的移民意愿。研究结果为意识形态移民假说提供了支持，表明在那些预计会实施与自己信仰相反的堕胎法的州，人们的归属感较低，搬迁的愿望更高。他们也更有可能考虑搬迁到一个堕胎政策更符合他们意识形态观点的州。我们的研究结果强调了州一级堕胎政策的变化如何放大政治两极分化，并有助于增加区域意识形态分类。

Both exposure to nature and physical exercise have been shown to have positive effects on mental well-being. We reviewed the combined effects of physical exercise in nature (i.e., ‘green exercise’) on mental well-being. A systematic review of the databases Ovid Medline, PubMed and PsycINFO resulted in a total of 57 included studies (of which 25were meta-analysed). All eligible studies compared a green exercise intervention with: (1) a no intervention control group, (2) indoor exercise, (3) urban exercise, or (4) other interventions to improve mental well-being. Studies without a comparison group were excluded. Our results show that green exercise interventions have a positive effects on mental well-being (0.478; p = 0.001; 95% CI = [0.191, 0.766]). Subgroup analyses revealed that green exercise interventions had more positive effects on mental well-being compared to no-intervention control groups (5 studies; 0.851, se = 0.248, p < 0.001) and other mental well-being interventions (8 studies; 0.540, se = 0.188, p = 0.05), but not compared to indoor (5 studies; 0.04, se = 0.203, p = 0.819), or urban exercises (10 studies; 0.415, se = 0.268, p = 0.124). While green exercise clearly outperforms no activity and non-physical interventions in enhancing mental well-being, its benefits over other forms of physical activity may be more nuanced, potentially moderated by factors such as duration, environmental quality, and measurement sensitivity. Future interventions should explore what types of green exercise are the most beneficial, and which populations may benefit the most from participation in green exercise (e.g., clinical, youth, migrant communities).

接触大自然和体育锻炼都被证明对心理健康有积极影响。我们回顾了大自然中体育锻炼（即“绿色运动”）对心理健康的综合影响。通过对Ovid Medline、PubMed和PsycINFO数据库的系统回顾，共纳入了57项研究（其中25项是荟萃分析）。所有符合条件的研究都将绿色运动干预与：(1)无干预对照组，(2)室内运动，(3)城市运动或(4)其他改善心理健康的干预进行了比较。没有对照组的研究被排除。我们的研究结果显示，绿色运动干预对心理健康有积极影响（0.478;p = 0.001; 95% CI =[0.191, 0.766]）。亚组分析显示，与无干预对照组（5项研究；0.851,se = 0.248, p < 0.001）和其他心理健康干预组（8项研究；0.540,se = 0.188, p = 0.05）相比，绿色运动干预对心理健康有更积极的影响，但与室内（5项研究；0.04,se = 0.203, p = 0.819）或城市运动（10项研究；0.415,se = 0.268, p = 0.124）相比，绿色运动干预对心理健康没有更积极的影响。虽然绿色运动在增强心理健康方面明显优于不运动和非身体干预，但它对其他形式的身体活动的好处可能更加微妙，可能受到持续时间、环境质量和测量灵敏度等因素的影响。未来的干预措施应该探索哪些类型的绿色运动是最有益的，哪些人群可能从参与绿色运动中获益最多（例如，临床、青年、移民社区）。

Retributive justice beliefs in Cyprus: The role of apology effectiveness and honor value endorsement 塞浦路斯的报应正义信念：道歉有效性与荣誉价值背书的作用

Core social psychological processes including morality, punishment, and reciprocity can be significantly shaped by differences in cultural logics. Although the literature on the function of honor (as a cultural logic) in interpersonal relationships is expanding, little is known about how it may play a role in intergroup processes other than negative consequences, such as intergroup hostility. Examining the function of honor value endorsement in transitional justice is a promising direction. The current study investigates these dynamics while considering the role of apology effectiveness in Cyprus, a post-conflict society where honor beliefs are expected to shape interpersonal and intergroup processes. Apologies, while often considered an important prerequisite for forgiveness and reconciliation may also evoke complex reactions tied to revenge-seeking, or honor restoration. These factors complicate their effectiveness in transitional justice settings. This study aims to clarify how honor value endorsement shapes justice preferences and apology perceptions. We found evidence that the relationship between honor value endorsement and retributive justice beliefs was mediated by beliefs in the effectiveness of apologies (while controlling for trust and amount of positive contact), specifically in the Turkish Cypriot community. Results are discussed in light of the unique dynamics within the Cypriot context and underscore the importance of addressing cultural variations to achieve reconciliation and sustainable peace.

道德、惩罚和互惠等核心社会心理过程会受到文化逻辑差异的显著影响。尽管关于荣誉（作为一种文化逻辑）在人际关系中的作用的文献正在不断扩大，但除了负面后果（如群体间敌意）之外，它在群体间过程中如何发挥作用却知之甚少。考察荣誉价值背书在转型司法中的作用是一个很有前景的方向。当前的研究调查了这些动态，同时考虑了道歉有效性在塞浦路斯的作用，这是一个冲突后的社会，荣誉信仰被期望塑造人际关系和群体间的过程。道歉通常被认为是宽恕与和解的重要先决条件，但它也可能引发与寻求报复或恢复名誉有关的复杂反应。这些因素使其在过渡时期司法环境中的有效性复杂化。本研究旨在厘清荣誉价值背书如何塑造正义偏好与道歉知觉。我们发现证据表明，荣誉价值认可和报复性正义信念之间的关系是由对道歉有效性的信念介导的（同时控制信任和积极接触的数量），特别是在土族塞人社区。根据塞浦路斯情况下的独特动态讨论了结果，并强调了解决文化差异以实现和解与可持续和平的重要性。

The present work investigated changes in collective level emotions and their socio-ecological predictors through analyses of song lyrics from 1970 to 2019 that appeared in Japan's top-100 chart (n = 3646 songs). The linguistic analyses of emotion words revealed an increasing trend of anxiety and a decreasing trend of sadness over the fifty years. Furthermore, the present research tested socio-ecological factors, namely economic hardship and disasters, as predictors of emotional content of the lyrics. Advanced time-series analyses, including Granger causality tests, suggested that economic hardships preceded a rise in negative emotions in lyrics, specifically anxiety. Moreover, an increase in disaster-related fatalities was found to precede a rise in positive emotions in lyrics, possibly reflecting a community's unity in the face of adversity. The study highlights how socio-ecological factors shape emotions in cultural products like song lyrics, offering insights into collective level emotions and their dynamics.

本研究通过分析1970年至2019年出现在日本百强歌曲榜上的歌词（n = 3646首歌曲），调查了集体层面情绪的变化及其社会生态预测因素。情感词汇的语言学分析显示，近50年来，焦虑词汇呈现上升趋势，悲伤词汇呈现下降趋势。此外，本研究还测试了社会生态因素，即经济困难和灾害，作为歌词情感内容的预测因子。包括格兰杰因果关系测试在内的高级时间序列分析表明，经济困难先于歌词中负面情绪的增加，特别是焦虑。此外，与灾害有关的死亡人数的增加被发现先于歌词中积极情绪的增加，这可能反映了一个社区在面对逆境时的团结。这项研究强调了社会生态因素如何在歌词等文化产品中塑造情感，为集体情感及其动态提供了见解。

What are the places for which people are most nostalgic? We explored the physical and psychological characteristics of places that evoke nostalgia. In Study 1 (N = 200 U.K. residents), we used self-reports and dictionary methods to capture the diversity of such places. Blue landscapes, located near sea, ocean, rivers, or lakes, emerged as the most frequent nostalgic places. In Studies 2 (N = 398 U.S. residents) and 3 (N = 400 U.S. residents), we experimentally contrasted nostalgic places against ordinary ones. Self-reports, language, and geolocation data painted the portrait of typical nostalgic places: Set in a blue landscape, they vary in size between a building and a town, and are less grey and more green than ordinary places. Nostalgic places are further away from one’s current location, yet they appear psychologically closer than ordinary ones. Place nostalgia (vs. control) furthermore increases social connectedness, meaning in life, self-continuity, self-esteem, and authenticity. Future research could examine place nostalgia across different geographies, cultures, or countries.

人们最怀念的地方是什么？我们探索了唤起乡愁的地方的物理和心理特征。在研究1中（N = 200名英国居民），我们使用自我报告和词典方法来捕捉这些地方的多样性。靠近大海、海洋、河流或湖泊的蓝色景观成为最常见的怀旧之地。在研究2 （N = 398名美国居民）和研究3 （N = 400名美国居民）中，我们实验性地将怀旧的地方与普通的地方进行了对比。自我报告、语言和地理位置数据描绘了典型怀旧地点的肖像：它们坐落在蓝色的风景中，在建筑和城镇之间大小不一，比普通地方少了灰色，多了绿色。怀旧的地方离一个人现在的位置更远，但在心理上却比普通的地方更近。地方怀旧（相对于控制）进一步增加了社会联系、生活意义、自我连续性、自尊和真实性。未来的研究可以考察不同地域、文化或国家的地方怀旧情绪。

Pro-environmental decisions, such as rejecting pesticide use in agriculture, may stem from both environmental and health concerns. Identifying which concerns are more decisive for pro-environmental decisions, and whether this varies between people, depending on their value orientations, could offer valuable insights into how to best promote pro-environmental decisions across different audiences. While biospheric values likely underlie environmental concerns, it is unclear which value orientation underlies health concerns. In a preregistered online experiment (N = 823), we explored whether egoistic or personal safety values—a subtype of personal security values developed for this study—underlie health concerns regarding pesticide use in agriculture. Participants reported on their opposition to the use of a fictitious fungicide in potato cultivation, based on information about its risks to human health (relevant for egoistic and personal safety values) and/or the environment (relevant for biospheric values). Stronger biospheric values were consistently associated with stronger opposition to the fungicide’s use, regardless of the risk information. Egoistic values interacted with risk information, but these interactions contradicted our assumption that egoistic values reflect health concerns. Personal safety values showed no interaction with risk information and were not independently associated to opposition to the fungicide’s use. Our findings suggest that neither egoistic nor personal safety values serve as the basis for health concerns driving pro-environmental decisions. This underscores the need to identify an additional value orientation that reflects health concerns and develop measures to assess it.

支持环境的决定，例如拒绝在农业中使用农药，可能源于环境和健康方面的考虑。确定哪些问题对亲环境决策更具有决定性，以及这是否因人而异，取决于他们的价值取向，可以为如何在不同的受众中最好地促进亲环境决策提供有价值的见解。虽然生物圈价值可能是环境问题的基础，但尚不清楚哪种价值取向是健康问题的基础。在一项预先注册的在线实验（N = 823）中，我们探讨了利己主义或个人安全价值观（为本研究开发的个人安全价值观的一种亚型）是否构成了农业农药使用健康问题的基础。与会者报告说，他们反对在马铃薯种植中使用一种虚构的杀菌剂，理由是该杀菌剂对人类健康（与自私和个人安全价值有关）和/或环境（与生物圈价值有关）的风险信息。无论风险信息如何，生物圈值越高，对杀菌剂使用的反对就越强烈。利己主义价值观与风险信息相互作用，但这些相互作用与我们的假设相矛盾，即利己主义价值观反映了健康问题。个人安全价值与风险信息没有相互作用，并且与反对使用杀菌剂没有独立的联系。我们的研究结果表明，无论是利己主义价值观还是个人安全价值观，都不能作为推动亲环境决策的健康考虑的基础。这突出表明有必要确定反映健康问题的额外价值取向，并制定评估措施。

Gender identity is becoming more central to women of all ages, but less central to young men 性别认同对所有年龄段的女性来说都变得越来越重要，但对年轻男性来说却不那么重要

Although traditional gender roles are being challenged in many Western societies, few studies have examined how gender identity centrality has changed over time and across different generations. Here, we use longitudinal panel data from a nationwide random sample of adults in New Zealand (N = 61,760) to assess change in men’s and women’s gender identity centrality from 2011 to 2024 across 10 distinct birth cohorts spanning the ages of 18 to 73. Cohort-sequential growth models revealed countervailing growth trajectories for men and women. Whereas gender identity centrality increased among all but two of the birth cohorts for women, men’s gender identity centrality both decreased (among the four youngest birth cohorts) and increased (in two of the three oldest cohorts). Our findings imply aging and period effects for women, and cohort effects for men. Although further testing is required, our results suggest that gender is becoming more central to women’s identity across the lifespan and that young men are starting to increasingly distance themselves from their gender.

尽管传统的性别角色在许多西方社会受到挑战，但很少有研究考察性别认同中心是如何随着时间和不同世代而变化的。在这里，我们使用来自新西兰全国随机成人样本（N = 61,760）的纵向面板数据来评估2011年至2024年期间男性和女性性别认同中心性的变化，这些数据来自10个不同的出生队列，年龄在18岁至73岁之间。队列序列增长模型揭示了男性和女性相反的增长轨迹。性别认同中心性在除了两个出生队列之外的所有女性出生队列中都有所增加，而男性的性别认同中心性在四个最年轻的出生队列中有所下降，在三个最年长的出生队列中有两个有所增加。我们的研究结果表明，女性受年龄和经期影响，男性受群体影响。虽然还需要进一步的测试，但我们的结果表明，性别在女性的一生中变得越来越重要，而年轻男性开始越来越多地与自己的性别保持距离。

Sustainability-oriented intrinsic motivation for sustainable entrepreneurial venturing: The curvilinear effects of basic psychological needs 面向可持续创业的内在动机：基本心理需求的曲线效应

Sustainability-oriented entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in addressing environmental and social challenges. However, limited research has explored how intrinsic motivation for sustainable entrepreneurship is developed. This study builds on self-determination theory by examining how psychological competence, psychological autonomy, and psychological relatedness influence sustainability-oriented intrinsic motivation and sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial intention. Using data collected from 385 higher education students in Vietnam through a stratified sampling approach, the findings reveal that psychological competence, psychological autonomy, and psychological relatedness independently and positively impact sustainability-oriented intrinsic motivation, which mediates their effects on sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial intention. Negative interactions between psychological competence and psychological autonomy, and between psychological autonomy and psychological relatedness, suggest that fulfilling one need can compensate for the lower fulfillment of the other. However, the interaction between psychological competence and psychological relatedness is non-significant. Additionally, greater alignment between psychological needs enhances intrinsic motivation, while significant imbalances, particularly between psychological autonomy and psychological relatedness or psychological competence and psychological relatedness, reduce it. These findings provide practical insights for fostering sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial behaviors by addressing the balanced satisfaction of psychological needs.

面向可持续发展的企业家精神在应对环境和社会挑战方面发挥着至关重要的作用。然而，关于可持续创业的内在动机是如何发展的研究有限。本研究以自我决定理论为基础，考察心理能力、心理自主性和心理关联对可持续导向内在动机和可持续导向创业意向的影响。采用分层抽样方法对385名越南大学生的数据进行分析，发现心理能力、心理自主性和心理相关性对可持续导向的内在动机具有独立的正向影响，并在内在动机对可持续导向创业意向的影响中起到中介作用。心理能力与心理自主性、心理自主性与心理关联性之间的负交互作用表明，满足一种需求可以弥补另一种需求较低的满足。而心理能力与心理亲缘关系的交互作用不显著。此外，心理需求之间更大的一致性增强了内在动机，而显著的不平衡，特别是心理自主性和心理相关性或心理能力和心理相关性之间的不平衡，降低了内在动机。这些发现为通过解决心理需求的平衡满足来培养可持续导向的创业行为提供了实践见解。
