摘要

全球环境危机需要全球采取一致行动。以往的研究表明,突出的全球认同感(即对全世界人民的认同和关注)可能会激发这种行动,因为它与亲环境行为呈正相关。然而,人们对如何加强全球认同感知之甚少。根据宇航员从太空中看到我们地球时的体验(即概览效应),我们假设虚拟现实(VR)太空之旅能够引起敬畏(即一种与感动、惊讶和不知所措相关的非凡广阔的体验),使全球认同更加突出,并激发亲环境行为。我们将 VR 模拟的效果与音乐(一种与自然无关的刺激物)的效果进行了比较。在一项预先登记的实验室实验中,我们采用 2(VR:是与否)×2(音乐:是与否)的设计,将德国方便抽样调查的参与者(128 人)随机分配到四组,并回答了一份自我报告问卷。我们发现,VR 空间游览和音乐都能引起敬畏感,但 VR 的效果更强。我们发现,VR 和音乐对全球认同感既没有明显的主效应,也没有明显的交互效应。然而,VR 模拟和音乐都通过更强烈的敬畏体验间接地预测了更强烈的全球自我投资(即全球认同的一个维度,反映了对全世界人民的团结和关注)。就人们是否愿意签署请愿书,要求政府优先考虑巴黎气候协议而言,VR 模拟和音乐都不会影响人们的亲环境行为。但是,它们都通过更强烈的敬畏体验间接地预测了人们签署请愿书的意愿。我们讨论了敬畏对于全球认同和亲环境行为的作用,并阐述了更大程度的全球认同可能是一种稳定特质而非可变状态的观点。我们还讨论了 VR 模拟在鼓励亲环境行为方面的作用。

A virtually-induced overview effect? How seeing the world from above through a simulated space tour is related to awe, global identity and pro-environmental behaviour

Global environmental crises require concerted action around the globe. Previous research has suggested that salient global identity (i.e. identification with and concern for people all over the world) might motivate such action, as it is positively related to pro-environmental behaviour. However, little is known about how to strengthen global identity. Inferred from astronauts' experiences when seeing our planet from space (i.e. the overview effect), we hypothesised that a virtual reality (VR) space tour elicits awe (i.e. an experience of extraordinary vastness associated with feeling moved, amazed and overwhelmed), makes global identity more salient and motivates pro-environmental behaviour. We compared the effect of the VR simulation to that of music, a stimulus unrelated to nature. In a preregistered laboratory experiment, participants of a convenience sample in Germany (N = 128) were randomly assigned to four groups, using a 2 (VR: yes vs. no) × 2 (music: yes vs. no) design, and answered a self-report questionnaire. We found that both the VR space tour and music elicited awe, but that the effects of VR were stronger. We found neither significant main nor interaction effects of VR and music on global identity. However, both the VR simulation and music indirectly predicted stronger global self-investment (i.e. one dimension of global identity reflecting solidarity and concern for people world-wide) through a stronger awe experience. Neither the VR simulation nor music impacted people's pro-environmental behaviour in terms of their willingness to sign a petition asking the government to prioritise the Paris climate agreement. However, they both indirectly predicted willingness to sign the petition through a stronger awe experience. We discuss the role of awe for global identity and pro-environmental behaviour, and elaborate on the idea that a greater portion of global identity may be a stable trait rather than a variable state. We also discuss how useful VR simulations are for encouraging pro-environmental behaviour.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Environmental Psychology is the premier journal in the field, serving individuals in a wide range of disciplines who have an interest in the scientific study of the transactions and interrelationships between people and their surroundings (including built, social, natural and virtual environments, the use and abuse of nature and natural resources, and sustainability-related behavior). The journal publishes internationally contributed empirical studies and reviews of research on these topics that advance new insights. As an important forum for the field, the journal publishes some of the most influential papers in the discipline that reflect the scientific development of environmental psychology. Contributions on theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects of all human-environment interactions are welcome, along with innovative or interdisciplinary approaches that have a psychological emphasis. Research areas include: •Psychological and behavioral aspects of people and nature •Cognitive mapping, spatial cognition and wayfinding •Ecological consequences of human actions •Theories of place, place attachment, and place identity •Environmental risks and hazards: perception, behavior, and management •Perception and evaluation of buildings and natural landscapes •Effects of physical and natural settings on human cognition and health •Theories of proenvironmental behavior, norms, attitudes, and personality •Psychology of sustainability and climate change •Psychological aspects of resource management and crises •Social use of space: crowding, privacy, territoriality, personal space •Design of, and experiences related to, the physical aspects of workplaces, schools, residences, public buildings and public space
