Our review of the field’s development underscores how historical psychology has been a longstanding topic in psychological science, even though it has only recently emerged as a formal area of inquiry. Our review of pressing questions situates each of the papers in the present special issue within broader lines of research concerning how economic development shapes values, how and why intergroup attitudes change over time, and how contact and conflict shape behavioral outcomes. In our section on the future, we call for more theory-driven research in historical psychology, more recognition of path-dependent cultural change, and historical analysis of a broader range of psychological variables beyond attitudes and beliefs. As historical psychology continues to mature, we look ahead to a richer and more rigorous understanding how the mind has changed over time.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72748,"journal":{"name":"Current research in ecological and social psychology","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100247"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145424606","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 perspective of private-sphere behavior has increasingly been enriched by a focus on community-based approaches. In this context, a particular interest is given to sustainable communities (e.g., eco-villages, community-supported agricultures). Sustainable communities are often ascribed a transformative potential to pave the way to a more sustainable future. However, the complexity of individuals’ decisions to join a sustainable community has only rarely been addressed in previous research. Taking a process-oriented approach, 28 narrative interviews with members actively involved in sustainable communities were conducted to gain an in-depth understanding of pathways leading individuals to join these communities. The interviews were analyzed based on key elements of narratives including life experiences across different developmental stages, personal motives, and transformative experiences. Different systematic configurations could be identified. These were integrated into different pathways to a sustainable community: first, seeing the sustainable community as the next logical step in an increasingly sustainable lifestyle, second, wishing to experience a sense of community and solidarity, and third, a search for alternatives to mainstream societal structures. Fostering engagement in sustainable communities and other forms of sustainability-related action could have the potential to upscale these approaches to contribute to socio-ecological transition processes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72748,"journal":{"name":"Current research in ecological and social psychology","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100253"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145623299","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 aimed to explore the determinants of workplace separation of plastic, glass, and aluminum by developing a novel, comprehensive model that integrates the theory of planned behavior (TPB) with two prominent constructs from organizational research: environmentally specific transformational leadership (ETFL) and green organizational climate (GOC). The hypothesized model conceptualized GOC as an antecedent of the proximal determinants of intention and ETFL as an antecedent of GOC. Moreover, ETFL was hypothesized to shape behavior through the sequential mediation of GOC and TPB’s constructs. A two-wave prospective design was employed using online surveys administered to a convenience sample of 711 Italian working adults. At T1, the participants completed self-reported measures of ETFL, GOC, and TPB’s variables. One month later, at T2, the participants reported their waste separation behavior over the previous month. The relational model, tested using structural equation modeling (SEM), explained 48.2 % and 36.4 % of variance in intention and behavior, respectively. All hypothesized direct effects were supported, except for the paths from injunctive norm to intention and from perceived behavioral control to behavior. Two sequential mediation pathways were identified: one linking ETFL to behavior via GOC, descriptive norm, and intention; the other via GOC, perceived behavioral control, and intention. The results underscore the central role of leaders in translating organizational environmental goals into employees’ daily actions, thereby offering practical implications for waste management in workplace settings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72748,"journal":{"name":"Current research in ecological and social psychology","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100254"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145623300","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}

We thus conducted two studies. The first, investigating the political context, compared speeches of fascist dictator Benito Mussolini (1918–1945, <em>N</em> = 284) with those of democratic Presidents of the Italian Republic (1949–2006, <em>N</em> = 901). The second, focused on lone-actors terrorists, examined texts from the Extremist Manifesto Database (EMD, Grigoryan et al., 2023) and compared writings by terrorists driven by political ideologies (left &amp; right-wing, ethno-nationalists, and anti-government, <em>N</em> = 65) with those of terrorists motivated by religious ideologies (<em>N</em> = 23). Notably, we hypothesized and found that, compared to democratic rhetoric, fascist rhetoric contained (a) more words expressing feelings of lost honor and (b) fewer words reflecting gaining honor. Moreover, as expected, we found that lone-actor religious terrorists' rhetoric, compared to lone-actor political terrorists, contained more words expressing feelings of lost honor and fewer words expressing honor gain. Notably, this is the first research to use the Honor Dictionary to linguistically measure the activation of the need for significance, demonstrating a strong correlation with the endorsement of extreme ideologies.

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.

However, research indicates that socioeconomic differences, i.e., family ecologies, play an important role in producing cross-cultural value conflict between student peers in a university setting. Our prior research revealed two resolution styles: (1) a collectivistic strategy – maintaining interpersonal harmony by avoidance or implicit communication, or (2) an individualistic strategy – advocating for and expressing one's personal feelings via explicit communication. In a small qualitative study of first-generation university students from Latin American immigrant families, improved roommate relations resulted from use of the more individualistic strategy. The purpose of the present study was to extend this work by examining whether the positive role of explicit conflict resolution with dormitory roommates generalizes to a large diverse sample of university students in the United States and to examine the role of socioeconomic status, a key aspect of the ecological surround. By means of a survey of 347 first-year UCLA students, we explored the interrelations of socioeconomic status, conflict resolution style, roommate relations, sense of belonging in the university environment, and psychological distress. Socioeconomic status consisted of parent education and income, which were closely related. Being a first-generation university student (i.e., neither parent had a postsecondary degree) was, as predicted, associated with harmony-maintaining modes of resolving roommate conflicts. In accord with our earlier qualitative findings, these modes of conflict resolution were less effective than an explicit mode in producing satisfying roommate relations. Less satisfying roommate relations led, in turn, to a lower sense of belonging in the university environment and more psychological distress. This causal chain from first-generation university status to less satisfying roommate relations, a lower sense of belonging, and more psychological distress may help explain the prevalence of \"imposter\" syndrome among first-generation university students.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72748,"journal":{"name":"Current research in ecological and social psychology","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666622724000133/pdfft?md5=12198d7496fde47caf745645e07ba4b6&pid=1-s2.0-S2666622724000133-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140468049","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}
