Reducing Food Waste Through Sharing Platforms
Food‐sharing platforms are nowadays recognised as a powerful tool to increase food saving. However, little is known about the key determinants fostering its usage. We propose testing the psychosocial determinants of food‐sharing app usage and its impact on post consumption behaviour by combining the technology acceptance model (TAM) with the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). A survey was conducted involving 1077 participants from Gen Z. By adopt…
From Parents to Planet
Prior research on pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) has mainly focused on their cognitive antecedents, like biospheric values, norms and environmental concern. This study takes a broader view by integrating, in a comprehensive framework, the role of biospheric values with the sense of emotional connection with nature and environmental identity (EID). Moreover, this study also explores how these processes are shaped by autonomy-supportive parenti…
Trait emotional intelligence and ecological outcomes
It is crucial to design environmental education programs that promote greater emotional intelligence ability and encourage individuals' involvement in ecological outcomes
Testing the Biophilia Hypothesis Through the Human and Nature Scale on Four Continents
According to the biophilia hypothesis, humans have a fundamental tendency to affiliate with nature. If this hypothesis is true, large majorities of people should express a high level of nature-friendliness (a tendency to affiliate with nature), and this level should have low variability across cultures. We tested this proposition using the interculturally applicable Human and Nature (HaN) scale. We compare the outcomes from 12 previously publishe…
The family transmission of prejudice toward immigrants. The mediating role of adolescents’ self-transcendence and conservation values
While research on the transmission of prejudice toward immigrants within the family is increasing, it remains scarce. Many studies have explored the role of different mediators in the relationship between parents’ and children’s prejudice (e.g. ideology, empathy), but little empirical research has considered the role of values, despite their strong link with prejudice, especially in their dimensions of conservation and self-transcendence. The aim…
Contact with Nature in Social Deprivation during Covid-19
The 2019 outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) had a devastating impact on millions of people worldwide. Following the constantly changing course of the pandemic, the Italian government massively restricted public and private life to prevent the further spread of the virus. Unfortunately, lockdown policies negatively impacted many people's mental and physical health. Numerous studies recognized an essential role of urban green area…
My Parents Taught…Green Was My Growth! The Role of Intergenerational Transmission of Ecological Values in Young Adults’ Pro-Environmental Behaviors and Their Psychosocial Mechanisms
Past research on pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) has identified several psychosocial determinants, ranging from personal values to attitudes-mostly environmental concerns-and norms. Less attention has been devoted to the role of affect and identity processes, until recently, when investigations began into the emotional connections with nature and environmental identity, i.e., one's self-concept in relation to the natural world. Finally, resear…
TV News and Covid-19
The COVID-19 outbreak has dramatically changed our life. Despite the rapid growth of scientific publications about medical aspects of the pandemic, less has been explored about the effects of media communication regarding COVID-19 on healthy behaviors. Yet, the scientific literature has widely debated on how media can influence people's health-related evaluations, emotions, and behaviors. To fill this gap, the aim of this study was to investigate…
The extended Value-Belief-Norm theory predicts committed action for nature and biodiversity in Europe
Go greener, feel better? The positive effects of biodiversity on the well-being of individuals visiting urban and peri-urban green areas
