Evidence for links between putative mechanisms and outcomes is reviewed following criteria of association, temporal precedence and specificity. Although changes in mechanism factors during treatment appear related to outcome changes and such changes may precede and predict outcome change, evidence for specificity – does a treatment work primarily via theoretically-specified mechanisms – has little support. Instead, most evidence suggests that psychosocial pain treatments engage a discrete set of shared but essential mechanisms. The continuing search for mechanisms (and new treatments) may need to come to terms with evidence indicating that common features are more important than distinct ones and that conceptual models embracing these shared mechanisms are critical to advance the field.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48279,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Psychology","volume":"64 ","pages":"Article 102050"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144133702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main principles of biophilic design are outlined and summarized. Recent systematic and scoping reviews confirm that biophilic principles enhance patient well-being, support recovery, and improve the overall quality of healthcare environments. Experimental studies further demonstrate that higher levels of biophilic integration, including virtual nature experiences, are particularly effective in reducing stress and enhancing perceived care quality. Moreover, the literature has also highlighted the benefits of biophilic and healthcare environments on the social dimensions of well-being. Future studies should further explore how biophilic design influences social interactions and well-being, for both patients and healthcare professionals.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48279,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Psychology","volume":"64 ","pages":"Article 102049"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144067210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reduction in meat consumption is a key sustainable action, and identifying its determinants can play a crucial role in shaping effective climate change strategies. This review explores how community connectedness can influence sustainable eating and identifies potential factors shaping this relationship. Research on sustainable eating mainly examines individual factors. However, meat consumption is deeply rooted in social and cultural contexts, making change difficult. Community connectedness may both promote and hinder sustainable eating by reinforcing local dietary traditions. Although community connectedness may encourage protection of local environments and pro-environmental behaviors such as local food consumption, it may also reinforce meat-heavy culinary traditions. Since meat consumption is embedded in cultural and historical traditions globally, a strong connection to one’s community may hinder the adoption of more environmentally friendly diets – particularly when these traditions emphasize resource-heavy foods like meat. However, collective community efforts can promote sustainable diets: research indicates that strong community ties can support initiatives promoting plant-based diets with minimal animal products. Initiatives like community-based pledges, cooking courses, and community-supported agriculture can encourage plant-based diets, and foster long-term habits through education, socialization, and community-driven support. Empirical evidence also shows that the potential for community connectedness to promote sustainable eating might depend on intervening factors like environmental awareness and a broader sense of connection to nature. Future research should further explore how local and global connectedness shape sustainable eating and evaluate the effectiveness of community-based interventions aimed at promoting pro-environmental diets, to develop culturally appropriate strategies for sustainable eating.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48279,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Psychology","volume":"65 ","pages":"Article 102047"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143930979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet human perceptions of their relationships with the rest of nature are complex and, in many cases, reflect cultural beliefs and historical legacies. In this paper we identify a tension within the research literature on nature connectedness and associated efforts to understand, measure, and promote nature connectedness. The tension is between what we describe as (1.) human exceptionalist perspectives, which envision nature as the absence of humans, and (2.) human ecological perspectives, which understand humans as part of nature. We offer three main interrelated recommendations for a more concertedly human ecological perspective: (1.) to move away from a focus on exposure to nature toward a greater emphasis on engagement with nature, (2.) to learn more about the positive associations between feeling connected with nature and feelings of connection with other collectivities (e.g., sense of community), and (3.) to emphasize everyday engagement with nature in specific nearby places, and the associations between nature connectedness and feeling connected to place (e.g., place attachment/sense of place). Our aim is to enhance clarity and specificity about the concept of nature connectedness, which may improve efforts to promote it and realize its associated benefits to humans, non-humans, and their shared ecologies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48279,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Psychology","volume":"65 ","pages":"Article 102046"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143901737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
