"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."

I can't believe I'm about to defend my dissertation (in #environmentalPsychology) and go on the academic market when the entire academic establishment is being attacked from multiple fronts.
From hiring freezes to threats to academic freedom to replacement of core research skills with AI. Honestly holding very little hope for my future career. I don't even think passion is enough to get me through this

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.

“It is a nice idea really badly implemented and even more poorly communicated,” says James Archer, a parish councillor [...]. “No Mow May has now become Can’t be Arsed August,” resident John McBride writes

At its core, environmental psychology is problem-oriented. Solutions are derived from studying physical settings and understanding the direct impact these environments have on people. For instance, incorporating windows, high ceilings, and controllable lighting can reduce feelings of crowding and enhance well-being.

Ness Labs · Environmental Psychology: How Your Surroundings Shape Your MindEnvironmental psychology explores the relationship between humans and the external world. Originally, it focused primarily on architectural design, examining how the built environment influences human behavior. Over time, the field expanded to include various aspects of human interaction with the environment, including personal space, our relationship with nature, and the psychological impacts of environmental conditions.
