In Study 3 (<em>n</em> = 404), we found that hope and satisfaction with life acted as serial and complete mediators between CNI and psychological symptoms.

Consequently, many people experience severe psychological distress in the form of fears, anxieties, or worries, elicited by one, some, or all these different consequences. Thus, climate change distress can be conceptualized as a domain-specific construct. We conducted a literature review and a qualitative lay survey to develop the Domain-Specific Climate Change Distress Scale (DCCDS), with a <em>generic</em> climate change distress domain and six sub-domains (<em>ecology, existence, food supply, future generations, society, and wealth</em>). In the first study, we validated this structure with a bifactor-(S-1) model and refined the scale according to its psychometric properties. In a second study, we showed convergent and discriminant validity with the respective constructs. In a third study, we demonstrated the external validity of the scale by investigating the relation of its sub-domains to fear reactions to real-life news excerpts and willingness to donate to different charity organizations. Each sub-domain showed incremental validity over the generic domain. The scale had adequate psychometric properties and stability over three measurement timepoints in German gender-balanced convenience samples. We thus conclude that the domain-specific conceptualization of climate change distress yields important diagnostic benefits and could provide important insights into the future handling of climate change distress on a political, socio-cultural, and personal level.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Psychology","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 102392"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0272494424001658/pdfft?md5=3717b6faa0a99b2e5a0c055bdb5bf420&pid=1-s2.0-S0272494424001658-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141985559","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}

Previous studies have mainly been cross-sectional and laboratory studies. We designed an online field experiment lasting seven days, in which we assigned 166 university students to one of four intervention groups: (1) listening to natural sounds, (2) sitting in silence (i.e., another means of restoration), (3) reading news online (i.e., a prevalent but not necessarily restorative activity), or (4) no intervention (i.e., the control). Self-reported restorative experience was measured both before and after the daily intervention (but once a day in the no-intervention group), and the weekly-measured perceived stress and state mindfulness were assessed at the beginning and end of the intervention week. Linear hypothesis tests based on a linear mixed-effects model (LMM) showed that, at the day level, natural sounds were the most restorative, followed by silence, while reading news proved not to be restorative. In addition, the daily restorative effect of natural sounds was carried over to later days and its seven-day accumulation was half as great as the general daily restorative effect, although the within-day pre-post change ostensibly diminished over time. An ANCOVA and paired t-tests revealed that a reduction in the weekly-measured perceived stress and an increase in the weekly-measured mindfulness took place after listening to natural sounds or sitting in silence, with the former intervention type having stronger effects, aligning with the results for the restorative experience. Our findings suggest that the carryover effect of repeated listening to natural sounds for psychological restoration may more than compensate for the diminishing returns in within-day pre-post changes over the course of a week.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Psychology","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 102388"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0272494424001610/pdfft?md5=59cdedd941d975ad06923b825e72d5a9&pid=1-s2.0-S0272494424001610-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142077120","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}

Subjective questionnaires, semantic differential scales to assess the extraordinariness of landscapes, perceived restorativeness scale, and PAD emotional scale were utilized to evaluate recovery effects and emotional impacts. Results showed that: 1) Compared to ordinary nature, extraordinary nature demonstrates more significant recovery and emotional improvement effects. 2) The semantic differential scale evaluated the extraordinariness of natural landscapes across five dimensions: awe, remoteness, mystery, complexity, and uniqueness, with uniqueness being the predominant influencing factor. 3) As the extraordinariness of natural landscapes increases, the recovery effect also improves gradually. However, excessive exposure to extraordinary natural landscapes shows a diminishing therapeutic effect.
