The current, pre-registered study used wearable devices including heart rate monitors and actigraphs to examine physiological stress in 4–5 year old children across 8 matched indoor and outdoor sessions (N = 76 children, N = 601 sessions in total). Results revealed that children's resting heart rates while seated and listening to a teacher were significantly lower when outside compared to indoors (<em>p</em> < 0.001, d = 0.512). Children also moved more while seated during indoor sessions (p < 0.001, d = 0.546). Despite activities and resources being matched across conditions, outdoor learning sessions were significantly quieter than indoor ones, both when children were seated, listening to a teacher (p = 0.004, d = −0.455) and when actively engaged in play and learning activities (<em>p</em> < 0.001, d = 1.064). There was a significant positive correlation between noise levels and resting heart rate in the indoor condition (<em>r</em>(97) = 0.364, <em>p</em> < 0.001) but not in the outdoor condition. These findings suggest that learning outdoors, even in urban settings, associates with lower physiological stress in children and that this effect may partly be due to reduced noise. The fact that noise associates with resting heart rate indoors but not outdoors may indicate that being outside buffers children against the stressful effects of excess noise.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Psychology","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 102362"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027249442400135X/pdfft?md5=c6d8daa149c50e8af31ef4663a143472&pid=1-s2.0-S027249442400135X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141389856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gardening is associated with numerous health benefits, yet few studies have explored the significance of gardening activity in relation to cognitive ageing. Here, longitudinal cognitive data from 467 older adults (aged 79 ± 0.6) of the LBC1921 study were used to examine associations of self-reported gardening at age 79 with lifetime cognitive change (age 11 to 79), and cognitive level (age 79) and slope across later life (age 79 to 90). Cognitive function was assessed at age 11 and 79 using the Moray House Test (MHT), and a battery of psychometric tests assessed cognitive function at ages 79, 83, 87 and 90 (MHT, Raven's Matrices, Verbal Fluency, Logical Memory). Models controlled for individual-level socio-demographic, lifestyle and health covariates including overall physical activity. Higher frequency of gardening was significantly associated with greater lifetime cognitive gain from age 11 to 79 on the MHT (std β = 0.112 P = 0.024), higher general cognitive ability (<em>g</em>) level at age 79 (std β = 0.145, P = 0.001), and higher test-specific scores on the MHT (std β = 0.153, P = 0.001) and Raven's Matrices (std β = 0.102, P = 0.040). Gardening was not associated with subsequent cognitive slopes from age 79 to 90.

This study addresses these gaps and extends the GEF-inspired framework: We add procedural fairness to the list of fairness-relevant beliefs and analyze whether perceived overall carbon pricing fairness integrates and mediates their effect on acceptance, using survey data representative of Germany (n = 4,646). Additionally, we test whether adherence to the polluter-pays principle (a general fairness principle) moderates the effects of perceived distributional consequences and effectiveness on perceived overall fairness. Results showed that perceived personal consequences, distributional consequences, procedural fairness, as well as perceived effectiveness, all impact perceived overall fairness, and that the latter (partially) mediates their effects on carbon pricing acceptance. We also find weak evidence that the impact of perceived effectiveness and negative distributional consequences on perceived overall fairness is greater for polluter-pays adherents than for non-adherents. These results suggest that, additionally to perceived personal and distributional consequences as well as fair procedures, perceiving a policy to be effective increases its perceived overall fairness.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Psychology","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 102356"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141308608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A French national sample (N = 853) was exposed to a communication combining autonomy support and descriptive norm arguments. Participants had a greater intention to reduce home heating consumption, which was the targeted behavior. However, there was also an intention to implement other energy-saving behaviors, which were non-targeted behaviors. Autonomous motivation to adopt energy-saving behaviors mediated this positive spillover effect. Adherence to a governmental plan promoting energy saving (i.e., spillover on policy support) also increased. Controlling communication based on threatening power cuts yielded no effect. No evidence of spillover was found between the energy and health domains, even both of which were supported by governmental policy. An exploratory analysis has shown that trust in government moderates the impact of communications. Communications that support the basic needs of self-determination encourage energy-saving behaviors and compliance with policy measures within the same domain. These findings have implications for practitioners and public policies that aim to implement and tailor communication interventions with broader impacts within the same domain.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Psychology","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 102349"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141308607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we systematically tested the effect of vegetarian option availability, menu category framing, and health recommendation inclusion on hypothetical food choice and satisfaction, conducting two large online studies representative of the German adult population that consumes meat at least once a week (Study 1: <em>N</em> = 991; Study 2: <em>N</em> = 989). Both studies were based on a menu from a German university hospital. Results revealed that increasing the availability of vegetarian options increased vegetarian food choices. Neutral menu descriptions had no impact, whereas health recommendations that were presented in form of a visual appeal slightly increased vegetarian dish choices. Importantly, the research also considered menu satisfaction, revealing no main effects of availability, framing and health recommendation. Only when a health recommendation was added to a menu with high availability of vegetarian options, satisfaction was decreased. The findings suggest that menu design elements could modestly influence food choices and satisfaction among meat-eaters in healthcare settings, warranting further investigation with hospital patients.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Psychology","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 102348"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027249442400121X/pdfft?md5=10d811ff6b023acaef5c1333d3b77630&pid=1-s2.0-S027249442400121X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141290919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The heart rate was slower, and heart rate variability was larger during nature imagery than during urban imagery, suggesting a greater degree of relaxation with nature imagery. Both tonic and phasic electrodermal activity was stronger during the mental imagery of nature than urban contents. This difference was driven by a higher preference for nature over urban words, indicating that imagery of nature was associated with stronger positive arousal than urban imagery. Notably, participants’ reported connection to nature moderated some of the physiological responses.
