  • Relational Moral Reasoning

    Open AccessJolina H Ruckert, Abby Liang et al.ARTICLEEcopsychology2026

    In the context of global ecological crises, relational moral reasoning offers an important lens for understanding pathways toward a sustainable future. Historically, environmental moral psychology has relied on a binary distinction between anthropocentric (human-centered) and biocentric (nature-centered) reasoning. We propose a tripartite framework that centers relational moral concerns for reciprocity, harmony, kinship, and interdependence, adva…

  • Encountering Animals Cultivates Meaningful Shared Experiences Between Children and Parents

    Jolina H Ruckert, Cloe Moreno et al.ARTICLEAnthrozoös2024Referencias: 82

    Childhood nature experiences – particularly those shared with caregivers – have consistently, over decades of research, been linked to children's health, as well as their developing environmental commitments. Notably, animal interactions have been shown to play key roles in children's psychological wellbeing and their developing conservation concerns. We investigated nature experiences children share with their parents, with a particular focus on…

  • Internal Locus of Control Predicts Proenvironmental and Covid-19 Health-Related Behaviors

    Open AccessCaleb B Weinhardt, Jolina H RuckertARTICLEEcopsychology2023

    The COVID-19 pandemic has caused large shifts in our way of life and requires individuals globally to modify their behavior in ways that benefit their health and the health of others. Meanwhile, the climate crisis continues to unfold, with evermore direct threats to human well-being—making behavioral mitigation strategies increasingly pertinent. Yet still, there are concerning differences in the degree to which individuals are engaging the behavi…

  • Empathy-Related Reasoning Is Associated with Children's Moral Concerns for the Welfare and Rights of Animals

    Open AccessJolina H Ruckert, Riley ArnoldARTICLEEcopsychology2018

    We investigated empathy-related reasoning as it emerged in children's developing environmental moral commitments. We drew on psychological research on morality and emotion and environmenta

  • Justice For All? Children's Moral Reasoning about the Welfare and Rights of Endangered Species

    Jolina H RuckertARTICLEAnthrozoös2016Citada por: 3Referencias: 33

    This study reports children's developing moral concerns for endangered animals. Three questions were addressed: 1) Do children conceive of not harming an endangered animal as a moral obligation? 2) Do children use biocentric (nature-centered) moral reasoning? and 3) Does a developmental shift in biocentrism occur between the ages of 7and 10-years-old? Fifty-two urban children (gender balanced and evenly divided between two ages groups: 7 and 10-y…

  • Robovie, you'll have to go into the closet now

    Peter H Kahn, Takayuki Kanda et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2012Citada por: 65Referencias: 8

    Children will increasingly come of age with personified robots and potentially form social and even moral relationships with them. What will such relationships look like? To address this question, 90 children (9-, 12-, and 15-year-olds) initially interacted with a humanoid robot, Robovie, in 15-min sessions. Each session ended when an experimenter interrupted Robovie's turn at a game and, against Robovie's stated objections, put Robovie into a cl…

  • A Nature Language

    Open AccessPeter H Kahn, Jolina H Ruckert et al.ARTICLEEcopsychology2010

    We as a species are losing rich and diverse forms of interaction with nature: the awe, for example, of encountering an animal in the wild or a slug underfoot, of sleeping under the night sky, or of even seeing the night sky in our urban settings. The loss is happening quickly (in terms of decades) and potentially impoverishing us as a species, physically and psychologically. Toward addressing this problem, we propose a new research agenda that is…

  • The Human Relation With Nature and Technological Nature

    Open AccessPeter H Kahn, Rachel L Severson et al.ARTICLECurrent Directions in Psychological…2009

    Two world trends are powerfully reshaping human existence: the degradation, if not destruction, of large parts of the natural world, and unprecedented technological development. At the nexus of these two trends lies technological nature—technologies that in various ways mediate, augment, or simulate the natural world. Current examples of technological nature include videos and live webcams of nature, robot animals, and immersive virtual environme…
