"Noctcaelador has been found to relate to feelings of connectedness with nature and attitudes favoring protecting dark skies
from light pollution. Given that #connectedness with nature relates to both well-being and behaviors which protect the planet, understanding the foundations of #noctcaelador could be an important area of study regarding reactions to, and attitudes towards, natural environments."

And more on that wonderful word "motonormativity" (And I have heard people in public meetings asserting we cannot eliminate pedestrian fatalities,so we should just "accept the risk" -so it's not just in the UK this applies

Last Saturday, my colleague Jana Köhler and I had the opportunity to present the topic of #EnvironmentalPsychology in relation to the climate crisis at the KISS THE GLOBE-Event in Vienna.

My favourite quote from Jana: ”We should focus on the fact that we need [...] a majority that does *something* instead of few people that do *everything*.”

The take-aways I hope we could make the audience remember: (1/4)

To their right and in the middle of the stage, a young woman is sitting in an arm chair and talking into a microphone. A woman and a men are sitting and speaking at the right of the stage, both seated at a desk. Above them, a screen shows the portrait of the young woman in the middle, with her name Jana Köhler and describing her as an environmental psychologist.

Excited to share this #preprint of a #SystematicReview of Relationship Between #ClimateAnxiety and Environmentally Relevant Behaviours

The review was led by Alice Roberts as part of her #PhD/#DClinPsy

OSF A Systematic Review of the Relationship Between Climate Anxiety and Environmentally Relevant Behaviours Background: The notion of ‘climate anxiety’ has received increasing attention in recent years. There is however inconsistency in the literature regarding associations with environmentally relevant behaviours (ERBs), concerning behaviours which helo mitigate against climate change. This systematic review sought to systematically identify, appraise and synthesise findings from studies exploring this association. Methods: Peer-reviewed, empirical studies using quantitative approaches to explore climate anxiety and associations with various ‘public’ and ‘private’ sphere ERBs were the focus of this review. Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase and ERIC databases were searched in May 2023. The Quality of Survey Studies in Psychology (Q-SSP) quality assessment checklist was used to assess study quality. A narrative synthesis grouped findings according to similarities in conceptualisations and measurement approaches. Results: 24 studies were reviewed, including over 35,000 participants. Most studies were considered of acceptable quality. Despite representation from 40 countries, participants were largely from predominantly individualistic and Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich and Democratic (WEIRD) cultures, with notable gender, sex and age biases among samples. Positive associations were frequently observed between climate anxiety and ERBs. Some studies reported non-significant associations, while negative associations were less common. Stronger associations were observed in relation to: (i) less severe and functionally impairing climate anxiety, (ii) public sphere ERBs, (iii) behavioural intentions and willingness as compared to self-reported behaviours, (iv) composite scores on measures, (v) WEIRD and individualistic cultural orientations. Stronger associations were observed when correlation analyses were used, while inferential approaches incorporating other variables revealed less consistent and more nuanced findings. Discussion: Results indicate climate anxiety may, for many, be associated with ERBs. Methodological approaches, individual and systemic factors may, however, influence this relationship. While this review is not without limitations, findings may contribute to a broader, complex and multifaceted picture regarding the adaptive versus maladaptive nature of climate anxiety.

And we have a great video (we think), highlighting the important role of research on environmental topics with the entire leadership team of the University of #Vienna youtu.be/_k9PKSr0XtE (enjoy the dramatic music!)

Fantastic to have this support - let's make a change in #science for the #environment in #Austria and beyond
