Examining interactions between chronic pain, positive mental health and coping on past-year suicidal ideation in a Canadian sample
Chronic pain affects approximately 20% of the Canadian population and is related to increases in suicide-related outcomes. Protective factors for suicidal behaviours are understudied, yet they are an important area of research for promoting mental health and preventing suicide. This study examined the relationship between chronic pain and past-year suicidal ideation and the moderating roles of positive mental health and coping. Data were from the…
Deciphering landscape preferences
Heterarchical social organizations and relational models
In the present study, we sought to explain changes in the proportion of men and women working within North American psychological science in terms of a heterarchical social organization defined by norms and conventions of society, the structure of higher-education institutions, as well as scientific communities. Using archival records from psychology within the U.S., we found that the demographic shift from male-dominated to female-dominated refl…
Cooperation is in our nature
Theory and correlational research suggest that connecting with nature may facilitate prosocial and environmentally sustainable behaviors. In three studies we test causal direction with experimental manipulations of nature exposure and laboratory analogs of cooperative and sustainable behavior. Participants who watched a nature video harvested more cooperatively and sustainably in a fishing-themed commons dilemma, compared to participants who watc…
Flourishing in nature
From the increasing number of people living in urban areas to the continued degradation of the natural environment, many of us appear to be physically and psychologically disconnected from nature. We consider the theoretical explanations and present evidence for why this state of affairs might result in suboptimal levels of hedonic and eudaimonic wellbeing by reviewing the large body of research on the mental health benefits of connecting with na…
The relationship between nature connectedness and happiness
Nature Salience Increases Judgments of Environmental Satisfaction
Two studies tested whether nature (vs. built) photographs could increase participants' judgments of environmental satisfaction and perceived quality of life. In Study 1 (N =122), participants assigned to view local nature photographs were more satisfied with the conditions of their local environment, compared to those who viewed local built photographs. In Study 2 (N =218), we replicated the satisfaction difference, and we explored potential reas…
