Psychedelic Use and Mystical-Type Experiences are Associated With Greater Self-Compassion, Compassionate Love, and Life Satisfaction
Emerging evidence suggests psychedelic-assisted therapies ameliorate symptoms of psychopathology. However, less is known about how psychedelics influence positive psychological functioning (e.g., compassionate love, self-compassion, and life satisfaction). These constructs may be relevant in understanding how psychedelics exert their therapeutic effects, as they are central to both intra- and interpersonal well-being, and may function as protecti…
Influence of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Students’ Social Experience: A Cross-Sectional Qualitative Study across Seven Universities in the U.S
The COVID-19 pandemic affected and continues to modify students’ social life and as a result may impact their long-term development. This study is a part of a larger research project focused on the psychological impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on university students. For this manuscript, we employed content analysis to analyze 1,327 quotes related to changes in social experiences and outcomes related to these changes from a sample of 1,099 stude…
Gender Differences in Connection to Nature, Outdoor Preferences, and Nature-Based Recreation Among College Students in Brazil and the United States
Nature-based recreation (NBR) can enhance human health and promote conservation. As a result, there is a growing interest in the drivers of NBR. In two separate surveys of college students in Brazil (N = 224) and the United States (N = 207), we found that young adults with stronger connection to nature (CN) have a greater preference for outdoor environments to recreate and that these preferences are associated with more frequent participation in …

“Messy transitions”: Students’ perspectives on the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on higher education
Psychological impacts from Covid-19 among university students: Risk factors across seven states in the United States
Background University students are increasingly recognized as a vulnerable population, suffering from higher levels of anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and disordered eating compared to the general population. Therefore, when the nature of their educational experience radically changes—such as sheltering in place during the COVID-19 pandemic—the burden on the mental health of this vulnerable population is amplified. The objectives of this st…

Do Neighborhood Walkability, Transit, and Parks Relate to Residents’ Life Satisfaction: Insights From Phoenix
Problem, research strategy, and findings: Planners lack clarity about how they can promote the subjective wellbeing (SWB) of the communities they serve. In this research we use descriptive and econometric methods to explore the interconnections between three aspects of the objective and perceived neighborhood built environment (NBE)—walkability, transit, and parks—and one aspect of SWB—life satisfaction—drawing on a survey of 496 people in the Ph…
Farmers’ Economic Status and Satisfaction with Homestead Withdrawal Policy: Expectation and Perceived Value
The withdrawal of homesteads is an effective way to improve the efficiency of rural construction land use and is being piloted in many regions of China, but the mechanism influencing farmers' satisfaction with the withdrawal policy is unclear. This paper aimed to investigate the relationships among farmers' economic status (ES), policy expectation (PE), policy perceived value (PPV), and farmers' satisfaction with homestead withdrawal policy (poli…

The association between leisure time physical activity and happiness: Testing the indirect role of health perception
AIMS: Research supports the influence of leisure time physical activity (LTPA) on well-being; however, little is known about the mechanisms that drive the relationship. The aim of this study was to investigate the indirect influence of health perception on the association between neighborhood LTPA and happiness. METHODS: Telephone interviews were conducted using random digit dialing among a sample of adult residents aged 18+ (n = 570) to gather i…
Toward an Applied Assessment Framework for Neighborhood-Level Sustainability and Happiness
The Sustainable Neighborhoods for Happiness Index (SNHI) was developed to assess and compare cities on their levels of sustainability and happiness. While the SNHI has proven useful at the city level, applying it to neighborhoods, streets, and communities requires consideration of former and integration of new indicators to properly reflect neighborhood-level measures and application. Our article describes the process and results of scaling down …
Planning for Happy Neighborhoods
Problem, research strategy, and findings: There is increasing interest in planning for healthy communities, but little is known about how planners can affect mental health and wellbeing in neighborhoods, although much is known about how planners can affect physical health through neighborhood design. In this review essay, we draw lessons from a cross-disciplinary set of studies to reveal how the neighborhood built environment may affect one aspec…
Public Parks and Wellbeing in Urban Areas of the United States
Sustainable development efforts in urban areas often focus on understanding and managing factors that influence all aspects of health and wellbeing. Research has shown that public parks and green space provide a variety of physical, psychological, and social benefits to urban residents, but few studies have examined the influence of parks on comprehensive measures of subjective wellbeing at the city level. Using 2014 data from 44 U.S. cities, we …
Sustainability Through Happiness: A Framework for Sustainable Development
Happiness is commonly thought of as an individual characteristic for which each person is solely responsible. However, happiness is also a community characteristic influenced by factors external to the individual. This article offers an alternative sustainable community development framework that focuses on improved opportunities for happiness. Key components of the framework include happiness visioning, public participation, a happiness profit i…
