Perceived naturalness and restorative responses in virtual urban environments
As urban environments become denser and more psychologically demanding, understanding how urban green infrastructure supports well-being is increasingly important. This research used immersive virtual reality (VR) to examine how natural elements embedded within urban environments influence subjective, cognitive, visual, and physiological indicators of restoration. In Study 1 (N = 104), participants were exposed to one of four audiovisual 360° urb…
Racial Microaggressions and Racial Microaffirmations
Grounded in a Critical Race Theory framework, this study explores the racial microaggressions experienced by Faculty of Color at one four-year university in California during what Bell would call a “peak of progress” for racial justice—where equity and inclusivity took center stage in the institutional agenda. society. Our findings revealed that despite the institutional focus on equity, Faculty of Color experiences with racial microaggressions w…
Effect of contextual and dispositional variables on protective behaviours in the face of imminent risk, as analysed using the virtual simulation of a tsunami
This study examines the influence of contextual factors and dispositional variables on individual behaviours and reactions to imminent risk, focusing on a virtual reality (VR) simulation of a tsunami. Eighty-eight participants were immersed in a virtual beach scenario where a tsunami occurs, with three conditions tested: one without virtual agents (VAs), one with VAs exhibiting organized evacuation behaviour, and one with VAs displaying disorgani…
It's a start”
Research Summary Second‐chance hiring, or an employer's commitment to hiring (at least some) people with criminal records, is simultaneously an ongoing public movement and an opaque process. To examine perceptions of second‐chance policies and employers, we analyzed interview data from formerly incarcerated adults in the Greater Boston area. We find that a small portion was familiar with Ban‐the‐Box (BTB), a policy that had been in effect locally…
Behavioral and Physiological Stress Reactions During Exposure to a Tsunami in Virtual Reality
Introduction The simultaneous study of physiological stress and behavioural reactions in individuals evacuating during a disaster situation is rarely conducted. Virtual reality (VR) offers an ecological way to study this phenomenon. Objectives We investigated stress and behavioural responses, as well as the influence of others behaviour, in individuals exposed to a tsunamitype natural disaster simulated in VR. Methods Eighty-eight participants (4…
Coastal Erosion Risk
Studying the population’s perception of coastal erosion is essential and is increasingly used by coastal administrators, especially because it strongly influences the acceptance of coastal adaptation strategies. This article explores the population’s perception of coastal risk on the Atlantic coast of France (Pays de la Loire region) that is an at-risk territory historically affected by erosion and is particularly sensitive to coastal flooding. T…
How regulation strategies protected or worsened emotional experience during France's three lockdowns
The COVID-19 pandemic remains hugely challenging, but its impact on emotional experience, especially over time, has often been neglected. The French Government imposed three COVID lockdowns with varying degrees of strictness that induced different types of emotional discomfort and emotion regulation. The present longitudinal study explored affect and emotion regulation strategies in each of these lockdowns, comparing samples assessed before and d…
The Brief Version of the “Connectedness to Nature Scale”
The positive outcomes for human health from the development of a strong human–nature relationship are increasingly well established, and the role of a connection with nature in this process has been studied from different perspectives. The study intends to validate the brief version of the Connectedness to Nature Scale (CNS) through psychometric validation criteria. The scale was completed by a total of 1343 individuals in seven countries, and da…
Teacher candidates of Color experiences and perceptions of culturally responsive teaching within teacher education
Purpose This study aims to examine how teacher candidates of Color (TCoCs) experienced and perceived culturally responsive teaching across three teacher education programs at a predominately White institution in the USA. At the time of the study, the campus was reeling from a series of racist incidents on- and off-campus, and the teacher education programs were attempting to recruit more TCoCs. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on a critical ra…
How do we adapt when we are faced with the effects of climate change
Risk perception and trust management in inhabitants exposed to coastal flooding
Determinant factors of protective behaviors regarding erosion and coastal flooding risk
Coping Strategies Regarding Coastal Flooding Risk in a Context of Climate Change in a French Caribbean Island
Coastal flooding risks are becoming increasingly important because of the increasing vulnerability of coastal territories and the rise of ocean levels in relation to climate change. Studying the adaptation to these phenomena requires taking into account the coping strategies (problem-focused or emotional-focused coping) implemented by the inhabitants of the exposed territories. A theoretical model of situational and dispositional factors determin…
La representación social de los derechos de los niños
La teoría de las representaciones sociales aplicada al campo de la sociología del derecho permite indagar la reconstrucción colectiva de lo jurídico que se produce en las interacciones cotidianas de las personas ordinarias, más allá de las manifestaciones oficiales del Derecho. En este artículo, la teoría de las representaciones sociales desde la escuela estructuralista (Abric, 2001) entra en dialogo con los estudios de conciencia del derecho-lcs…
Impact of risk experience and personal exposure on coastal flooding and coastal erosion risk perception and coping strategies
The increasing vulnerability of coastal areas to climate change and coastal Risks, is now clearly established due to sea level rise. These events, which have become commonplace, constitute a danger for residents and for public facilities, roads, homes, etc. and make these areas more and more vulnerable. Although measures to reduce this vulnerability of coastal cities have been identified by experts and authorities, a resistance exists to their im…

We can’t do this alone
Since the passing of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), neoliberal policies, such as standardized curriculum, high-stakes tests, accountability measures, school choice, charter schools, value-added models and school privatization have pushed social justice teaching to the margins. As a result, many educators endure demoralization, teach in a state of fear and are driven out of the classroom. This article examined of how educators sustai…

Critical Race Theory 20 Years Later
As the nation’s schools become increasingly diverse along ethnic and racial lines, examining and understanding the racial complexities in the United States is more germane now than ever in the nation’s history. To that end, critical race theory (CRT) has been a transformative conceptual, methodological, and theoretical construct that has assisted researchers in problematizing race in education. As we reflect on 20 years of CRT, it is essential to…
When educators attempt to make “community” a part of classroom learning
La discriminación social desde una perspectiva psicosociológica
La discriminación social inquieta a los organismos públicos en Europa ya que debilita el tejido y la cohesión social. Este fenómeno puede ser abordado desde dos lecturas; la perspectiva psicosocial, en que se destacan los mecanismos cognitivos que nos permiten comprender y relacionarnos con el mundo y sus objetos; y una perspectiva macrosocial que permite dar cuenta de las estructuras sociales e ideológicas que sustentan esos mecanismos. Dos estu…
Les enjeux socio-environnementaux du développement durable en Amérique du Sud. Considérations à partir du cas colombien
Parler du développement durable dans le contexte des pays émergents tels ceux de l’Amérique Latine et particulièrement la Colombie, implique d’aborder le caractère conflictuel lié à la possibilité d’y atteindre les buts de ce paradigme du développement. Il est donc nécessaire de connaitre les obstacles sociopolitiques et culturels que rencontrent ces sociétés (corruption et instabilité institutionnelle, conflit armé, pauvreté, etc.). Étudier la b…
