As MB is a relatively unexplored mental state, we here examine how it relates to spontaneous thinking, namely, thought content and thought dynamics. By reviewing empirical studies on the neural correlates of MB, we first indicate that MB reports are mediated by variations in cortical and physiological arousal levels. In terms of thought content, we propose to view MB on a dimensional space representing content types, where MB is unrelated to any type of content. In terms of thought dynamics, we suggest conceptualizing MB as a moment during content transitioning or as a failure to transition across contents. Taken together, we suggest that MB has a unique place in the study of spontaneous thinking, and its inclusion can facilitate the isolation of the neural correlates of ongoing cognition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56191,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences","volume":"61 ","pages":"Article 101481"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143152538","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}

Intergenerational psychology — specifically how people think about and care for future generations — has emerged as a critical driver of pro-environmental engagement, transcending demographic and ideological barriers. Insights from ethical philosophy, political philosophy, and behavioral economics further underscore the importance of intergenerational approaches in addressing environmental issues. We review the recent research on psychological interventions, legacy motivations, the principles of intergenerational responsibility, and behavior in economic games in the context of pro-environmental engagement. Broadly, this research has shown promise in promoting climate action across diverse populations through intergenerational framings. Importantly, intergenerational approaches not only inspire individual responsibility but also foster collective efforts toward sustainable solutions. Despite considerable emerging research, we point toward gaps in the literature for future research to address. Namely, there is a need for more research exploring the enduring impacts of intergenerational interventions using randomized controlled trials with longitudinal designs and examining their potential in promoting resilience and justice in the face of climate change. In sum, we conclude that addressing both climate change mitigation and adaptation through an intergenerational lens could be key to protecting the environment — not only for the present generation but also for the many future generations to come.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56191,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences","volume":"61 ","pages":"Article 101467"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143153220","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}

Certain social contexts (i.e. collectivistic, lower socioeconomic status, and religious) foster a stronger sense of personal control compared to their counterparts, and this explains variation in the link between climate change beliefs and pro-environmental behaviors. In sociocultural contexts where a sense of personal control is lower, alternative motives, such as social norms and trust in government, play more central roles in shaping pro-environmental support.

Although there is growing evidence clarifying the role of dopamine in model-based learning, we know less about how serotonin contributes to this process. Here, we present evidence demonstrating a role for serotonin neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) in regulating model-based learning. We contrast this to the role of ventral tegmental area dopamine neurons in this process. We further propose a new framework, suggesting how dopamine and serotonin influence model-based learning in unique but complementary ways. Specifically, we know that the phasic firing of dopamine neurons acts as teaching signals to drive model-based learning. In contrast, we argue that the sustained activity seen in DRN serotonin neurons during waiting for rewards or during the presentation of reward-predictive cues reflects a precise expectation of future rewards across multiple dimensions.
