In this study, we examine the role of ancient cultures, specifically the impact of Roman civilization around two thousand years ago, on the macro-psychological character of German regions. We compare present-day regions that were advanced by Roman culture with those that remained outside of Roman influence. Even when accounting for more recent historical factors, we find that regions developed by Roman civilization show more adaptive personality patterns (Big Five) and better health and psychological well-being today. Results from a spatial regression discontinuity design indicate a significant effect of the Roman border on present-day regional variation in these outcomes. Additional analyses suggest that Roman investments in economic institutions (e.g., trade infrastructure such as Roman roads, markets, and mines) were crucial in creating this long-term effect. Together, these results demonstrate how ancient cultures can imprint a macro-psychological legacy that contributes to present-day regional inequalities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72748,"journal":{"name":"Current research in ecological and social psychology","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100214"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143140405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its proven potential for protecting vulnerable populations, many individuals do not get the flu vaccine due to beliefs or perception that they are invulnerable to the flu. The current research explored whether this perception and its subsequent impact on decreased flu vaccine uptake, may be more prevalent in cultures of honor, where maintaining a reputation of strength and resilience is encouraged. The study also explored if these effects replicate across two different honor cultures (southern United States and Turkey). Results showed that individual-level honor endorsement was linked with perceived invulnerability to the flu in both the U.S. and Turkey but while this was linked to decreased vaccine uptake in the U.S., it was linked with increased uptake in Turkey (Studies 1 and 2). Finally, a regional comparison in the U.S. showed that higher flu mortality in a U.S. honor region was explained by lower rates of flu vaccine uptake in the region (Study 3). Findings suggest that while honor facilitates decreased vaccine uptake among Americans because they perceive themselves strong and invulnerable to flu, it could actually increase uptake in cultures where honor is expressed as protecting one's family.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72748,"journal":{"name":"Current research in ecological and social psychology","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100219"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143843616","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 study builds on self-determination theory by examining how psychological competence, psychological autonomy, and psychological relatedness influence sustainability-oriented intrinsic motivation and sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial intention. Using data collected from 385 higher education students in Vietnam through a stratified sampling approach, the findings reveal that psychological competence, psychological autonomy, and psychological relatedness independently and positively impact sustainability-oriented intrinsic motivation, which mediates their effects on sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial intention. Negative interactions between psychological competence and psychological autonomy, and between psychological autonomy and psychological relatedness, suggest that fulfilling one need can compensate for the lower fulfillment of the other. However, the interaction between psychological competence and psychological relatedness is non-significant. Additionally, greater alignment between psychological needs enhances intrinsic motivation, while significant imbalances, particularly between psychological autonomy and psychological relatedness or psychological competence and psychological relatedness, reduce it. These findings provide practical insights for fostering sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial behaviors by addressing the balanced satisfaction of psychological needs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72748,"journal":{"name":"Current research in ecological and social psychology","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100217"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143610750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that understanding social and natural phenomena in terms of interdependence could predict children's pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs). The existing literature reveals a lack of studies promoting PEBs among children. We first reviewed the literature on interdependence to demonstrate why it is a theoretically viable construct to foster PEBs in children. Second, we identified a lack of instruments to measure children's preference for explanations in terms of interdependence. Thus, in study 1, we developed and administered a 9-item vignette-based scale combining pictures and everyday situations with various explanations, the Preference for Explanations in Terms of Interdependence scale—PETI to 351 Swiss pupils (10-12 years old). Exploratory factor analysis revealed a one-dimensional structure. Analyses showed satisfying nomological and predictive validity (on self-reported behaviors). Study 2 (<em>N</em> = 96) was conducted at recreational areas and aimed at extending the predictive validity of the PETI scale to actual behaviors. Contrary to our expectations, results revealed no direct effect of the PETI score, but a significant main effect of age, and a significant interaction effect between PETI and age showing that PETI was more positively associated to PEBs for older (10-13 years old) than for younger (6-9 years old) children. Reliability analyses suggested that the PETI scale is better suited for children aged 10 and over. We discuss the utility of the PETI scale in studying the relationship between children's understanding of interdependence and the endorsement of PEBs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72748,"journal":{"name":"Current research in ecological and social psychology","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142326448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
