Impact of built environment design on emotion measured via neurophysiological correlates and subjective indicators: A systematic review
Publication date: December 2019Source: Journal of Environmental Psychology, Volume 66Author(s): Isabella Bower, Richard Tucker, Peter G. EnticottAbstractStudies investigating environmental enrichment have shown that exposure to enhanced sensory, cognitive, motor and social stimulation results in behavioural, cellular and molecular alterations in animal models. However, the evidence-base for the neurophysiological impact from environmental enrichment in humans has not been widely examined. This paper, which considers the built environment as one significant component of environmental enrichment, draws together evidence on t...

The effects of moving into an activity-based office on communication, social relations and work demands – A controlled intervention with repeated follow-up
Publication date: Available online 29 August 2019Source: Journal of Environmental PsychologyAuthor(s): Annu Haapakangas, David M. Hallman, Svend Erik Mathiassen, Helena JahnckeAbstractWhen organizations adopt activity-based workplaces (ABWs), improved interaction is a common goal. Yet, few controlled longitudinal studies have been conducted on the effects of ABWs on interaction, social relations and work demands. The aim of this natural intervention study was to investigate the effects of moving into an ABW on satisfaction with communication, on social relations (i.e., social support and social community) and on work deman...

Environmental behavior in three countries: The role of intergenerational transmission and domains of socialization
Publication date: Available online 29 August 2019Source: Journal of Environmental PsychologyAuthor(s): Tally Katz-Gerro, Itay Greenspan, Femida Handy, Yaara VeredAbstractThis paper focuses on intergenerational transmission of environmental behavior, i.e., the processes by which environmental behavior is negotiated and shaped within the family. We offer an analysis of two correlates of child environmental behavior: parental environmental behaviors (as intergenerational transmission) and socialization domains (parent-child interactions). Our interest lies in exploring these predictors cross-culturally, and we do so by using ...

Hype and hope? Mind-body practice predicts pro-environmental engagement through global identity
Publication date: Available online 29 August 2019Source: Journal of Environmental PsychologyAuthor(s): Laura S. Loy, Gerhard ReeseAbstractHumanity is facing global environmental challenges and a global identity has been found to predict pro-environmental engagement. As the origins of a global identity are not broadly understood, we aimed to contribute to investigating its predictors. One way to cultivate a global identity might be through the mind-body practices of yoga and meditation that an increasing number of people pursue, as it is one traditional goal of these practices to evoke a sense of connectedness with all huma...

Quality of sweatshop factory outdoor environments matters for workers’ stress and anxiety: A participatory smartphone-photography survey
Publication date: October 2019Source: Journal of Environmental Psychology, Volume 65Author(s): Bin Jiang, Huaqing Wang, Linda Larsen, Fengyu Bao, Zhigang Li, Mathew PryorAbstractStress and anxiety are pervasive mental health problems in “sweatshop” manufacturing factories, leading to depression, violence, and suicide. Previous studies ascribed workers’ mental health problems to social-demographic and employment factors. Few have explored whether, and to what extent, the outdoor environment impacts workers’ stress and anxiety status. Without this understanding, we lose the opportunity to create evidence-based enviro...

Virtual reality: A new method to investigate cognitive load during navigation
Publication date: Available online 22 August 2019Source: Journal of Environmental PsychologyAuthor(s): A. Armougum, E. Orriols, A. Gaston-Bellegarde, C. Joie-La Marle, P. PiolinoAbstractCognitive load has for long been studied in relation with learning processes. In our study, we investigated the impact of cognitive load in real-life situation taking the example of train travelers looking for relevant information in a train station. For this purpose, we created a virtual reality model of the tested train station from which we conducted a real-life study. Our aim was to compare travelers’ cognitive load impact in real-lif...

Perceived Fit in Activity-Based Work Environments and its Impact on Satisfaction and Performance
Publication date: Available online 20 August 2019Source: Journal of Environmental PsychologyAuthor(s): Jan Gerard Hoendervanger, Nico W. Van Yperen, Mark P. Mobach, Casper J. AlbersAbstractActivity-based work environments are widely adopted; however, research shows mixed findings regarding privacy issues, satisfaction with the work environment, and task performance. To further our understanding, two complementary studies drawing on Person-Environment fit theory were conducted: (1) A field study using experience sampling, and (2) A lab study in a virtual reality studio. The results from both studies confirm that perceived f...

Moral licensing, moral cleansing and pro-environmental behaviour: The moderating role of pro-environmental attitudes
Publication date: Available online 8 August 2019Source: Journal of Environmental PsychologyAuthor(s): Maedeh Gholamzadehmir, Paul Sparks, Tom FarsidesAbstractThe present study examined the conditions under which highlighting past pro-environmental behaviour produces a “license” to engage in less pro-environmental behaviour: a phenomenon known as moral licensing. It also examined whether highlighting a lack of past pro-environmental action would lead to moral cleansing, where people engage in moral behaviour to maintain a positive moral self-image. It extends the existing literature on moral licensing and moral cleansin...
