The subject is a 26-year-old male, suffering from a severe form of eco-anxiety. Through psychodrama, patients can better understand themselves and repressed psychological content, learn, and find new creative ways to cope with eco-anxiety. The case study shows that psychodrama helps to view anxiety in an externalized subject in a more detached way, to gain new insights into how to deal with it. Psychodrama improved the patient’s quality of life and helped him to cope in everyday life again.","PeriodicalId":502744,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Social Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139229032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Informal workplace learning and employability: The mediating role of competency development among financial sector employees in Bhutan","authors":"Manju Shree Pradhan, Vichayanan Rattanawiboonsom, F. Panya","doi":"10.54517/esp.v9i1.1845","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54517/esp.v9i1.1845","url":null,"abstract":"Amidst the rapid changes of this era, time constraints act as impediments to employees’ skill acquisition. However, a promising solution emerges in the form of informal workplace learning (IWL). Despite its potential, the precise impact of IWL on employability and competency development has remained an enigma. To unravel this, the present study draws upon the insights of the social learning theory. It delves deep into the impact of IWL on employability, incorporating competency development as a mediating element. The research also examines the potential moderating roles of learning goal orientation (LGO) and self-directed learning orientation (SDLO) in the IWL-competency development relationship. Leveraging data from 512 banking sector participants, the study employs a rigorous deductive design, administering a structured questionnaire through stratified random sampling. Analytical rigor is upheld via Confirmatory Factor Analysis, revealing squared multiple correlations (0.331 to 0.94) and affirming the CFA model’s validity and reliability through indices like average variance extracted (AVE) and composite reliability (CR). The hypotheses are subsequently evaluated through structural equation modelling (SEM). Findings reveal a substantial impact of IWL on employability (β = 0.13), with competency development effectively mediating this relationship (β = 0.30). While the anticipated moderating roles of LGO and SDLO do not manifest, this research furnishes valuable insights for organizations aiming to bolster their workforce’s proficiency and employability via IWL. The study contributes to the discourse on learning strategies amidst the contemporary professional landscape, urging organizations to harness the potential of IWL to foster adaptability and growth.","PeriodicalId":502744,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Social Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139232774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this relentless pursuit of speed has also given birth to pressing ecological challenges, with waste accumulation being a conspicuous concern. Despite concerted efforts to promote waste classification practices through policies and initiatives, the adoption of such behavior remains disappointingly limited. Consequently, the exploration of waste classification behavior has garnered attention in the field of environmental psychology. This paper synthesizes years of domestic and international research to comprehensively review the current state, definition, influencing factors, and potential benefits of waste classification behavior. By adopting a multidimensional approach, it aims to unveil the role of psychology in shaping such behavior, while also addressing the persisting ecological dilemmas that continue to confound contemporary efforts.","PeriodicalId":502744,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Social Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139232030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to integrate these fields and explore their application in user interface/user experience (UI/UX) design for metaverse social games. The principles of design psychology help understand users’ cognitive and emotional needs, enabling the creation of user-friendly interfaces and interaction designs. On the other hand, principles of environmental and social psychology provide insights into how environmental and social factors influence user behavior and psychological states. Building upon the importance and application of design psychology principles in UI/UX design, we delve into the specific environmental and social psychology factors that impact UI/UX design in metaverse social games. As a virtual global social platform, the metaverse necessitates designers to consider users’ social needs, identity expression, and personal interactions, in order to create an immersive and authentic virtual social experience. Through an in-depth analysis of Zuckerberg’s “Horizon Worlds” and its UI/UX design, we explore the comprehensive application of design psychology and environmental and social psychology principles in metaverse social games. We examine aspects such as usability, personalization, social interaction, and emotional connection in UI/UX design and discuss how visual elements, sound effects, and interactive feedback can facilitate the establishment of emotional connections and social networks within the virtual world. This research aims to provide designers with deeper insights and guidance in creating metaverse social game interfaces that align with user needs and societal adaptability. It will further expand the theoretical foundation of UI/UX design for metaverse social games and serve as a case study and reference for empirical research on the application of environmental and social psychology in game interface design.","PeriodicalId":502744,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Social Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139257103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fear of social distancing practices and outright closures for many industries led to a reduction of overtime, and unemployment and resulted in less income but higher prices. Consumer spending is the total money spent on foods and services by individuals for personal use and enjoyment. The research objective was to explore the variables of consumer adjustment in spending habits and saving patterns due to the COVID-19 crisis and to find out the associated consumer behavior patterns in the Nakhon Ratchasima Province of Thailand. The research design is quantitative method by using questionnaire as a tool. The four hundred participants provided valuable insights in consumer spending patterns. The research finding are the consumers in our research strongly agreed on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and consumer spending. Consumer goods were still purchased as usual but some time at a lower volume but certainly at lower quality. Hording reminded them of war time situations.
