To help tackle this problem, across two studies, we investigated the effect of awe on minimalism and sustainable consumption, along with the role of environmental message framing. Additionally, we included different dimensions of self-diminishment as possible mediators and explored the role of construal thinking. In Study 1 (<em>N</em> = 118) and Study 2 (<em>N</em> = 228), participants were randomly assigned to watch a 360-degree video in Virtual Reality (VR) of either the northern lights (awe condition) or a generic forest (neutral condition), paired with either a gain-framed or loss-framed environmental voice-over message. To assess actual behaviour, participants were offered to choose one of several gifts, which were either sustainable or unsustainable. If a participant declined the offer, their behaviour was labelled as minimalistic. Results showed that awe significantly predicted minimalistic behaviour (Study 1) and sustainable consumption behaviour (Study 2), the latter only occurring for novice VR users. No effects were found of message framing or construal thinking. Exploratory analyses showed that the vastness relative to self dimension of self-diminishment mediated the effect of awe on intended and self-reported sustainable consumption. Furthermore, dispositional awe was found to predict intended, self-reported and actual sustainable consumption. We conclude that VR is a useful tool to induce feelings of awe and make people engage in more minimalistic and sustainable consumption behaviours. The underlying mechanisms need to be investigated in future research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Psychology","volume":"105 ","pages":"Article 102685"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144661976","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}

In this paper, we analyse narratives from 228 people about a recent occasion when they ate red meat, using thematic analysis. The sample – recruited based on their responses to a prescreener survey from a representative group of 1492 UK respondents – included both reducers (n = 110) and non-reducers (n = 118), i.e., people with and without intentions to reduce their red meat consumption, respectively. Through the lens of goal framing theory, we explore the goals and situations cited by both groups in relation to the red meat consumption episode they described. This analysis highlights the strength of <em>hedonic goals</em> (aimed at feeling good in the moment) when it comes to meat consumption: meat is typically seen as a treat that tastes good and brings comfort to individuals in both groups. Additionally, the analysis indicates that hedonic motives to eat red meat often come into conflict with reducers' <em>normative goals</em> (to do the right thing), particularly those related to environmental and animal welfare concerns. These goal conflicts give rise to negative emotions such as guilt and disappointment among reducers, and also elicit justifications related to balance and social influence. Finally, reduced red meat consumption is also associated with some <em>gain goals</em> (e.g., promoting health and saving money) among non-reducers, but not all: the convenience and routine nature of red meat-based meals are highlighted by both groups. Taken together, these findings provide rich insights into the goals and situations associated with red meat consumption among individuals who intend to reduce their intake, compared to those who do not. These insights can help inform strategies aimed at curbing the overconsumption of red meat in both groups.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Psychology","volume":"106 ","pages":"Article 102681"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144694393","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}

However, Study 2 found that extreme (vs. moderate) protests also heightened climate concern and intentions to take climate-related actions.

To investigate this, we surveyed participants from the United Kingdom (<em>n</em> = 531), United States (<em>n</em> = 528), Australia (<em>n</em> = 1450), and New Zealand (<em>n</em> = 1022) on attitudes about climate change inequality, experiences of climate emotions, support for climate aid policy, and political orientation. Those who reported greater agreement that climate change is an inequality issue also reported experiencing more intense negative emotions about climate change and greater support for climate aid policy. We propose a theoretical model whereby political conservatives are less likely to see climate change as an inequality issue, which could account for their lower support for climate aid policy and their more muted emotional response to climate change. We find preliminary support for this model using mediation analyses. Our findings suggest that in these four nations, beliefs about the inequality in who causes climate change and who suffers its worst consequences may be relevant to community support for the implementation of climate aid policy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Psychology","volume":"106 ","pages":"Article 102679"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144724260","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}

Recently, some decision tasks have been introduced to study pro-environmental decision-making in controlled settings when there is a trade-off between environmental and individual consequences. The primary aim of the current research was to develop a new, intuitive, easy-to-perform, and easy-to-conduct task to study the money-environment trade-off. In the Environmental Decision Task (EDT), participants decide whether to receive money or invest it in the fight against climate change. Four studies (N = 1573) showed that the EDT score shared variation with self-reported pro-environmental and pro-self propensities. Open-ended responses further confirmed that participants' choices aligned with the task's intended purpose. To assess the efficiency and validity of the EDT, we compared performance across versions varying in task length, from brief nine-trial to extended 48-trial formats, and in incentive structures, including both consequential and hypothetical outcomes. Results suggest that these shorter versions capture decision patterns similar to the longer task, making the EDT practical for brief (online) studies. However, comparisons between consequential and hypothetical versions revealed some differences, indicating that hypothetical trials may not fully replicate real-stakes decision-making. Therefore, while hypothetical EDT versions appear useful approximations, further research is needed to clarify the impact of incentive structures on task outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Psychology","volume":"105 ","pages":"Article 102677"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144656884","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}
