However, the literature is unclear about how and why such effects occur. In this Review, we summarize the evidence on prominent causal mechanisms underpinning the mental health impact of the arts, with a particular focus on the transdiagnostic mechanisms common across artforms. Drawing on interdisciplinary research spanning psychology, neuroscience, neurophysiology and psychophysiology, psychobiology, social science and behavioural science, we describe 50 mechanisms and organize them into broad categories to enable a focused discussion. We conclude that a combination of multiple interconnected mechanisms of action is likely to explain the positive impact of arts engagement on mental health. We propose that day-to-day behavioural patterns of arts engagement form an overall ‘arts exposome’ that activates these causal mechanisms. Priorities for the future include both developing further theoretical and practical knowledge of how specific arts interventions can be adapted to activate diagnostic-specific and transdiagnostic mechanisms and advancing understanding of how individual arts exposomes influence current and future mental health. Engaging in the arts can have mental health benefits among clinical and non-clinical groups. In this Review, Fancourt et al. identify 50 causal processes by which arts engagement influences mental health outcomes and integrate them into a theoretical model, the ‘arts exposome’.","PeriodicalId":74249,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews psychology","volume":"5 4","pages":"290-302"},"PeriodicalIF":21.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147666388","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}

Despite this apparent mastery, there is substantial variation in navigation ability across people. In this Review, we evaluate the evidence for factors proposed to underlie this variability. First, we consider lifetime factors, which include a person’s genetics, their lifetime environmental exposure (physical, cultural and social) and the ageing process. Next, we discuss lifestyle factors, which include sleep, exercise, the environments to which a person is currently exposed, and technology use. Finally, we review evidence for factors that arise from the specific physical and social attributes of an individual. We discuss the increasing focus on societal influences on cognition, detail the contribution of specific brain regions and explore the impact of technology use on navigation ability, which link to specific future research directions. Understanding the determinants of successful navigation ability might be critical to help to combat the decline in navigation ability observed in healthy ageing and in neurological diseases. There is substantial variation across people in navigation ability, which is shaped by multiple factors. In this Review, Yavuz and Spiers organize these factors into lifetime, lifestyle and personal attributes, and discuss the cognitive and neural mechanisms of their influences on navigation.","PeriodicalId":74249,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews psychology","volume":"5 4","pages":"273-289"},"PeriodicalIF":21.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147666389","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}

In this Review, I apply a cultural-psychological framework to understand both the psychological necessity of consciousness-raising interventions and the predictable resistance they trigger. Specifically, I demonstrate how harmful cultural schemas become embedded in cognitive processes through participation in cultural systems. These schemas shape perception, identity and behaviour in ways that produce and reproduce social inequality and can cause psychological harm, particularly for individuals from marginalized groups. Thus, consciousness-raising approaches reflect a necessary response to harmful psychological processes that occur as minds develop within culturally stratified contexts. I also explain how resistance to consciousness-raising interventions is a predictable psychological reaction to schema disruption rather than a political reaction. By reframing this societal fault line through the lens of cultural psychology, this analysis moves beyond polarized political discourse towards a more empirically grounded understanding of societal tensions and how they might be ameliorated. Consciousness-raising interventions aimed at addressing social inequities often generate intense polarization and backlash. In this Review, Bettache demonstrates that such interventions are a psychologically necessary response to harmful cultural schemas and that resistance to these interventions is a predictable reaction to schema disruption.","PeriodicalId":74249,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews psychology","volume":"5 4","pages":"256-272"},"PeriodicalIF":21.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147666390","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}
