Place attachment: How far have we come in the last 40 years?Maria Lewicka
Volume 31, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 207-230
This paper reviews research in place attachment and organizes the material into three sections: research, method, and theory. A review of several hundred empirical and theoretical papers and chapters reveals that despite mobility and globalization processes, place continues to be an object of strong attachments. The main message of the paper is that of the three components of the tripartite model of place attachment (Scannell & Gifford, 2010a), the Person component has attracted disproportionately more attention than the Place and Process components, and that this emphasis on individual differences probably has inhibited the development of a theory of place attachment. Suggestions are offered for theoretical sources that might help to fill the gaps, including theories of social capital, environmental aesthetics, phenomenological laws of order, attachment, and meaning-making processes that stem from movements and time-space routines. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
Motivating energy conservation in the workplace: An evaluation of the use of group-level feedback and peer educationAmanda R. Carrico | Manuel Riemer
Volume 31, Issue 1, March 2011, Pages 1-13
Research suggests that curbing consumer demand for energy through behavioral interventions is an essential component of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in the short-term. Behavior within organizational settings poses a particular challenge to those wishing to promote energy conservation because employees typically have no direct financial incentive to reduce energy use and rarely have access to information regarding their level of consumption. Two relatively simple and easy-to-implement interventions were evaluated in a workplace setting during the fall of 2008. The first involved group-level feedback presented monthly to employees via e-mail. The second used peer educators to disseminate information and to encourage colleagues to reduce energy use. Both interventions were compared to an information-only control designed to educate employees about how and why to conserve energy. Results indicated that feedback and peer education resulted in a 7% and 4% reduction in energy use, respectively. Buildings that received the control increased energy use by 4%. The effect of peer education was limited by implementation failures in two buildings. The utility of these interventions will be discussed in terms of their overall potential for reducing energy use, as well as the feasibility of their being implemented in future organizational settings. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
Place attachment and public acceptance of renewable energy: A tidal energy case studyPatrick Devine-Wright
Volume 31, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 336-343
Efforts by many governments to mitigate climate change by increasing deployment of renewable energy technologies have raised the importance of issues of public acceptance. The 'NIMBY' (Not In My Backyard) concept, although popular, has been critiqued as an appropriate and valid way to explain local opposition. This study applies an alternative approach, empirically investigating the role of place attachment and place-related symbolic meanings in explaining public responses to a tidal energy converter in Northern Ireland, said to be the first grid-connected device of its kind in the world. 271 residents in two nearby villages completed questionnaire surveys, three months post-installation, following up preliminary qualitative research using focus groups. Although results indicated predominantly positive and supportive responses to the project, manifest by emotional responses and levels of acceptance, significant differences between residents in each village were also observed. Contrasting patterns of association between place attachment and emotional responses suggest that the project enhanced rather than disrupted place attachments only in one of the two villages. In regression analyses, place attachment emerged as a significant, positive predictor of project acceptance in both places, affirming its value in explaining public response. Place-related symbolic meanings also emerged as significant, with contrasting sets of meanings proving significant in each context. Implications of the findings for research on place attachment and responses to land-use changes, as well as for developers seeking to engage with residents affected by energy projects are discussed. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
An Integrated Framework for Encouraging Pro-environmental Behaviour: The role of values, situational factors and goalsLinda Steg | Jan Willem Bolderdijk | Kees Keizer | Goda Perlaviciute
Volume 38, Issue , June 2014, Pages 104-115
Many environmental behaviours involve a conflict between hedonic and gain goals versus normative goals; people often need to incur some costs to benefit the environment. Based on this assumption, we propose an integrated theoretical framework for understanding behaviour change that identifies two routes to encourage pro-environmental behaviour. First, the conflict between goals can be reduced by decreasing the (hedonic and gain) costs of pro-environmental choices. Although this route is important when pro-environmental choices are very costly, it may not result in sustained pro-environmental actions. Second, normative goals can be strengthened. This strategy may encourage pro-environmental actions, even when it is somewhat costly. We propose that the strength of normative goals depends on values and situational factors that influence the accessibility of these values. We discuss theoretical implications of our reasoning, and indicate how the integrated framework adopted in this paper may advance theory development and environmental policy making. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
Open-plan office noise: Cognitive performance and restorationHelena Jahncke | Staffan Hygge | Niklas Halin | Anne Marie Green | Kenth Dimberg
Volume 31, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 373-382
The aim of the present study was to investigate cognitive, emotional, and physiological effects of two open-plan office noise conditions (high noise: 51 LAeq and low noise: 39 LAeq) during work in a simulated open-plan office, followed by four restoration conditions (river movie with sound, only river sound, silence, and office noise) after the work period. Students (N = 47) went through one practice session and two experimental sessions, one each with the low and high noise conditions. In each experimental session they worked for 2 h with tasks involving basic working memory processes. We also took physiological measures of stress (cortisol and catecholamines) and self-reports of mood and fatigue. Analyses indicate that the participants remembered fewer words, rated themselves as more tired, and were less motivated with work in noise compared to low noise. In the restoration phase the participants who saw a nature movie (including river sounds) rated themselves as having more energy after the restoration period in comparison with both the participants who listened to noise and river sounds. Remaining in office noise during the restoration phase also affected motivation more negatively than listening to river sounds or watching the nature movie. The findings bear on the appropriateness of open-plan office designs and the possibilities for restoration available in office settings. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
The influence of urban green environments on stress relief measures: A field experimentLiisa Tyrväinen | Ann Ojala | Kalevi Korpela | Timo Lanki | Yuko Tsunetsugu | Takahide Kagawa
Volume 38, Issue , June 2014, Pages 1-9
This study investigated the psychological (perceived restorativeness, subjective vitality, mood, creativity) and physiological (salivary cortisol concentration) effects of short-term visits to urban nature environments. Seventy-seven participants visited three different types of urban areas; a built-up city centre (as a control environment), an urban park, and urban woodland located in Helsinki, the capital of Finland. Our results show that the large urban park and extensively managed urban woodland had almost the same positive influence, but the overall perceived restorativeness was higher in the woodland after the experiment. The findings suggest that even short-term visits to nature areas have positive effects on perceived stress relief compared to built-up environment. The salivary cortisol level decreased in a similar fashion in all three urban environments during the experiment. The relations between psychological measures and physiological measures, as well as the influence of nature exposure on different groups of people, need to be studied further. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Using the theory of planned behavior to explore environmental behavioral intentions in the workplaceMartin Greaves | Lara D. Zibarras | Chris Stride
Volume 34, Issue , June 2013, Pages 109-120
This paper presents a study using the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to explore environmental behavioral intentions in a workplace setting. The first stage of the research process was the development of a questionnaire covering TPB constructs, their antecedent beliefs, and environmental behavioral intentions across three scenarios (switching off PCs every time employees left their desks for an hour or more; using video-conferencing for meetings that would otherwise require travel; and recycling as much waste as possible), using best practice guidelines to ensure that it was specific and precisely defined for the target population. This was then administered to N = 449 participants, with the resulting dataset used to test hypotheses relating antecedent beliefs to behavioral intentions via the potentially mediating effect of TPB constructs. TPB constructs were found to explain between 46% and 61% of the variance in employee intentions to engage in three environmental behaviors, and to mediate the effects of specific antecedent beliefs upon employee intentions to engage in these behaviors. The results form a basis upon which interventions could be developed within the host organization, and are discussed in relation to their implications, in terms of theory, practice and future research. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Addressing climate change: Determinants of consumers' willingness to act and to support policy measuresChristina Tobler | Vivianne H M Visschers | Michael Siegrist
Volume 32, Issue 3, September 2012, Pages 197-207
Consumers influence climate change through their consumption patterns and their support or dismissal of climate mitigation policy measures. Both climate-friendly actions and policy support comprise a broad range of options, which vary in manifold ways and, therefore, might be influenced by different factors. The aims of the study were, therefore, two-fold: first, we intended to find a meaningful way to classify different ways of addressing climate change. Second, we aimed to examine which determinants influence people's willingness to engage in these behaviors. We conducted a large-scale mail survey in Switzerland in which respondents rated, among other items, their willingness to act or support a range of possible actions and mitigations measures. A principal component analysis indicated that a distinction in terms of a behavior's directness as well as a differentiation according to perceived costs seem to be appropriate to classify climate-friendly actions. Multiple regression analyses showed that perceived costs and perceived climate benefit turned out to be the strongest predictors for willingness to act or to support climate policy measures. The strong influence of perceived climate benefit might reflect a strategy of reducing cognitive dissonance. As high-cost behaviors are more difficult to adopt, consumers may reduce dissonance by dismissing high-cost behaviors as not effective in terms of climate mitigation. Political affiliation proved to be another strong determinant of willingness to act or support. Participants on the right wing were less willing to show indirect climate-friendly behaviors, change their mobility behaviors, and to support any type of climate mitigation policy measures. Climate-friendly low-cost behaviors, however, were not influenced by political affiliation. © 2012 .
Feelings of restoration from recent nature visitsMathew P. White | Sabine Pahl | Katherine Ashbullby | Stephen Herbert | Michael H. Depledge
Volume 35, Issue , September 2013, Pages 40-51
Exposure to natural environments can help restore depleted emotional and cognitive resources. However, investigation of the relative impacts of different natural environments among large samples is limited. Using data from 4255 respondents drawn from Natural England's Monitoring Engagement with the Natural Environment survey (2009-2011), we investigated feelings of restoration (calm, relaxed, revitalized and refreshed) recalled by individuals after visits to different natural environments within the last week. Controlling for demographic and visit characteristics we found that of the broad environmental categories, coastal visits were associated with the most restoration and town and urban parks with the least. In terms of specific environmental types two "green space" locations (woodlands/forests and hills/moorland/mountains) were associated with levels of restoration comparable to coastal locations. Urban playing fields were associated with the least restoration. Restoration was positively associated with visit duration (a potential dose-response effect), and visits with children were associated with less restoration than visits alone. There was little evidence that different activities (e.g. walking, exercising) were associated with differences in restoration. The data may improve our understanding of the "cultural eco-system services" provided by different natural environments and help decision makers keen to invest scare resources in those environments most associated with psychological benefits. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Workspace satisfaction: The privacy-communication trade-off inopen-plan officesJungsoo Kim | Richard de Dear
Volume 36, Issue , December 2013, Pages 18-26
Open-plan office layout is commonly assumed to facilitate communication and interaction between co-workers, promoting workplace satisfaction and team-work effectiveness. On the other hand, open-plan layouts are widely acknowledged to be more disruptive due to uncontrollable noise and loss of privacy. Based on the occupant survey database from Center for the Built Environment (CBE), empirical analyses indicated that occupants assessed Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) issues in different ways depending on the spatial configuration (classified by the degree of enclosure) of their workspace. Enclosed private offices clearly outperformed open-plan layouts in most aspects of IEQ, particularly in acoustics, privacy and the proxemics issues. Benefits of enhanced 'ease of interaction' were smaller than the penalties of increased noise level and decreased privacy resulting from open-plan office configuration. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Congruent or conflicted? The impact of injunctive and descriptive norms on environmental intentionsJoanne R. Smith | Winnifred R. Louis | Deborah J. Terry | Katharine H. Greenaway | Miranda R. Clarke | Xiaoliang Cheng
Volume 32, Issue 4, July 2012, Pages 353-361
Two experiments examine the interplay of injunctive and descriptive norms on intentions to engage in pro-environmental behavior. In Experiment 1, Australian participants were exposed to supportive or unsupportive group descriptive and injunctive norms about energy conservation. Results revealed that a conflict between the group-level injunctive and descriptive norm was associated with weaker behavioral intentions: The beneficial effects of a supportive injunctive norm were undermined when presented with an unsupportive descriptive norm. Experiment 2 replicated this effect in both a Western (UK) and non-Western (China) context, and found that the extent to which norms were aligned or not determined intentions even after controlling for attitudes, perceptions of control, and interpersonal-level injunctive and descriptive norms. These experiments demonstrate that conflict between injunctive and descriptive norms leads to weaker intentions to engage in pro-environmental behavior, highlighting the need to consider the interplay between injunctive and descriptive norms to understand how norms influence behavioral intentions. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Greenery on residential buildings: Does it affect preferences and perceptions of beauty?Emma V. White | Birgitta Gatersleben
Volume 31, Issue 1, March 2011, Pages 89-98
Recently there has been a surge in the number of green roofs and façades (vegetation on the roofs & walls of a building) installed in the UK, with advocation of their use by policy-makers and claims that they are aesthetically pleasing and promote restoration. But these claims rely on generalisations from different landscapes, raising concerns about validity. The present study examined whether houses with vegetation would be more preferred than those without, be perceived as more beautiful and restorative, and have a more positive affective quality. Differences between types of building-integrated vegetation were also examined. Two studies were conducted: an online survey in which participants (N = 188) rated photographs of houses with and without vegetation on each of these measures, and interviews (N = 8) which examined preference and installation concerns. Results showed that houses with (some types of) building-integrated vegetation were significantly more preferred, beautiful, restorative, and had a more positive affective quality than those without. The ivy façade and meadow roof rated highest on each. These findings are consistent with other areas of landscape research and the claims of those in the industry, and suggest that building-integrated vegetation would be a valuable addition to the urban environment. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
Concepts and measures related to connection to nature: Similarities and differencesKim Pong Tam
Volume 34, Issue , June 2013, Pages 64-78
In recent years, environmental psychologists have shown interest in the notion of connection to nature, and considered it to have an important role in helping mitigate the environmental crisis. Together they have developed a number of concepts and measures related to this notion. However, the convergence or divergence of these concepts and measures has rarely been examined. The present research thus aims to empirically examine their similarities and differences. Using one undergraduate Hong Kong Chinese sample (N = 322) and one diverse American sample (N = 185), it demonstrates that these measures can be considered as markers of a common construct: They were strongly inter-correlated, converged to a single factor, shared highly similar correlations with various criterion variables, and did not show much unique predictive power when their common factor was controlled for. Nevertheless, there is also evidence of divergence: Some measures had stronger correlations with the criterion variables than did others, and had unique, though small, incremental predictive power. These findings bear important implications for the theoretical understanding of connection to nature. On the one hand, recognizing the commonalities among the various concepts and measures allows one to integrate existing research findings. On the other hand, identifying the distinctiveness of some concepts and measures reveals that certain ways of conceptualizing connection to nature (e.g., a multidimensional framework) are promising. Directions for future research are suggested accordingly. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Building a model of commitment to the natural environment to predict ecological behavior and willingness to sacrificeJody L. Davis | Benjamin Le | Anthony E. Coy
Volume 31, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 257-265
We examined the connection between individuals' relationships with the natural environment and their environmental behaviors with a focus on commitment to the environment, defined as psychological attachment and long-term orientation to the natural world. Commitment is theorized to emerge from structural interdependence with the environment and to lead to pro-environmental behaviors. Close relationships research has identified three key antecedents to commitment (satisfaction, alternatives, and investments). We developed environment-specific measures of these constructs, and factor analysis verified three distinct factors. A path analysis revealed that satisfaction with the environment and investments in the environment, but not alternatives to the environment, predicted commitment to the environment. Moreover, commitment mediated the effects of satisfaction and investments on general ecological behavior and willingness to sacrifice for the environment. In regression analyses, commitment predicted general ecological behavior and willingness to sacrifice for the environment, even when controlling for ecological worldview, inclusion of nature in the self, connectedness to nature, and environmental identity. Individuals who are satisfied with and invested in the natural world are likely to be committed to the environment and act with the well-being of the environment in mind. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
The influence of place attachment, and moral and normative concerns on the conservation of native vegetation: A test of two behavioural modelsChristopher M. Raymond | Gregory Brown | Guy M. Robinson
Volume 31, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 323-335
This study examines the influence of place attachment, values, beliefs and personal norms about environmental action on the conservation of native vegetation in two primary production settings in South Australia. We use regression and multiple mediation analyses to test a base model of pro-environmental behaviour which includes variables from value-belief-norm (VBN) theory and then compare it to an expanded model which includes the same variables and five dimensions of place attachment. The expanded model including place attachment explained up to twice the amount of variance in native vegetation planting than the base model when controlling for all variables preceding behaviour, but the overall explanatory power was low (<22%). Place attachment had a stronger influence on the antecedents of behaviour compared with the behaviour itself, particularly nature bonding which was a significant moderate predictor of both personal norms and awareness of consequences in the two study regions. We assert that place attachment has statistically significant direct and indirect effects on variables included in VBN theory. Future studies may reveal stronger effects in settings where there are fewer resource and monetary costs associated with pro-environmental behaviour. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Creating sense of community: The role of public spaceJacinta Francis | Billie Giles-Corti | Lisa Wood | Matthew Knuiman
Volume 32, Issue 4, December 2012, Pages 401-409
A strong sense of community has been associated with improved wellbeing, increased feelings of safety and security, participation in community affairs and civic responsibility. Although interest in how the broader built environment influences sense of community is gaining momentum, there is a dearth of empirical research examining the association between sense of community and the quality of public space. This study investigates the relationship between four public spaces - Public Open Space (POS), community centres, schools and shops - and sense of community in residents of new housing developments in the Perth metropolitan area, Western Australia. Data was obtained from a cross-sectional survey (. n = 911), a POS audit, and Geographical Information Systems, and analysed using linear regression. The perceived quality of neighbourhood POS and shops was significantly and positively associated with sense of community. This relationship appears to be unaffected by how frequently people use these spaces. High quality public spaces may be important settings for enhancing sense of community within residents of new housing developments. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
The value of environmental self-identity: The relationship between biospheric values, environmental self-identity and environmental preferences, intentions and behaviourEllen Van der Werff | Linda Steg | Kees Keizer
Volume 34, Issue , June 2013, Pages 55-63
Biospheric values and environmental self-identities are considered to be important antecedents of environmental preferences, intentions, and behaviour. Although various authors suggest a relationship between values and self-identity, this has rarely been studied empirically. This paper aimed to clarify the relationship between biospheric values and environmental self-identity and to study how both are related to environmental preferences, intentions, and behaviour. We hypothesized that biospheric values are related to environmental self-identity, and that self-identity is in turn related to preferences, intentions, and behaviour. Results of three studies including a wide range of environmental preferences, intentions, and behaviour support our reasoning and show that biospheric values are related to environmental self-identity, even when measured months before. Moreover, we found that the relationship between biospheric values and environmental preferences, intentions and behaviour was fully mediated by environmental self-identity, indicating that biospheric values are related to preferences, intentions, and behaviour via one's environmental self-identity. This suggests that values need to be linked to the self in order to be influential in choices made. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Living with nuclear power: Sense of place, proximity, and risk perceptions in local host communitiesDan Venables | Nick F. Pidgeon | Karen A. Parkhill | Karen L. Henwood | Peter Simmons
Volume 32, Issue 4, July 2012, Pages 371-383
Previous research notes that sense of place may intensify, and that levels of public risk perception may decrease with proximity to an established hazardous or stigmatised site. In addition, the literature suggests that sense of place may act either to mediate or moderate community perceptions of risk in such localities. This study comprised a major household survey (n = 1326) and an interview study (n = 39) and was conducted close to the nuclear power stations at Oldbury and Hinkley Point, both in the UK. It investigated the roles of perceptions of place and hazard proximity in considering (a) perceptions of risk and (b) public attitudes towards the building of a new nuclear power station in the nearby area. In addition, a novel scale was developed to measure the perceived contribution of the nearby nuclear power station to sense of place. The results suggest first, that sense of place mediates (but does not moderate) perceptions of risk in very proximate communities, and second, that public attitudes to new build in communities situated very close to established nuclear sites may be largely dependent on the extent to which the existing facility is perceived to contribute towards sense of place. The implications of these results for existing theory are discussed. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Residential satisfaction among aging people living in placeL. Rioux | C. Werner
Volume 31, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 158-169
Residential satisfaction is a significant topic in environmental psychology yet there is little research on residential satisfaction among elders. This research aims to identify the cognitive structure of residential satisfaction of elderly persons living in their own dwellings and to identify demographic and psychological variables related to this residential satisfaction. One hundred and three participants, ranging in age from 72 to 86 years old and living at home in the central France, answered (a) a purpose-developed questionnaire to measure their residential satisfaction, (b) an environmental quality questionnaire aimed at evaluating both the physical and social environments, and (c) several psychological variables including: the ESV, a French adaptation of the Satisfaction with Life Scale which examines the general well-being of aging people; and three single well-being items assessing financial well-being, perceived health, and perception of oneself as active. The results indicated that in this sample, residential satisfaction corresponds to a four-dimension structure organized by physical location rather than psychological or behavioral aspects. The four components were the local area, access to services, relations with neighbors, and the home itself. Satisfaction with each component was related to different predictors, supporting the idea that elders hold complex and nuanced views of their homes and neighborhoods. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Walking routes to school in new urban and suburban neighborhoods: An environmental walkability analysis of blocks and routesJonathan M. Gallimore | Barbara B. Brown | Carol M. Werner
Volume 31, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 184-191
We assessed environmental and perceptual correlates of walking and walkability for fifth graders from three communities attending two schools: A new urban/LEED-ND pilot community, mixed, and standard suburban community. Irvine-Minnesota Inventory (IMI) walkability audits showed that new urban blocks provided more traffic safety, pleasurability, crime safety, density, and diversity. New urban routes offered greater traffic safety, accessibility, pleasurability, crime safety, and diversity, but suburban routes had greater housing density, net of controls (parental education, rooms in the home, home ownership, parent preference for child to walk to school). Parents and children perceived new urban routes to be more walkable and children walked more when they lived on more walkable routes. The suburban hierarchical street design exposed children to varied traffic safety conditions by funneling their walks from cul-de-sacs to arterials. The new urban routes to a centrally located school passed by pleasant open spaces, suggesting how community organization can create better walking conditions. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
The role of parental behaviour for the development of behaviour specific environmental norms - The example of recycling and re-use behaviourEllen Matthies | Sebastian Selge | Christian A. Klöckner
Volume 32, Issue 3, September 2012, Pages 277-284
Based on the norm activation theory we developed assumptions about how parents may influence specific pro-environmental behaviours (i.e. re-use of paper and recycling) of their children (age 8-10). A sample of 206 parent-child-dyads were investigated using questionnaires recording norm activation model variables for children (i.e. awareness of need, awareness of consequences, personal norm, subjective norm, pro-environmental behaviour), as well as communication behaviour and actual behaviour of parents. For both behaviours (re-use and recycling) two separate structural equation models were tested (. N = 206 and . N = 194). Model fit statistics indicate a good fit of empirical data and model structure for both behaviours, supporting our assumption that the norm activation model can be applied to pro-environmental behaviour of young children. Communication behaviour of parents had a different influence on the two respective behaviours. While parents seemed to influence their children's recycling behaviour via sanctions and their own behaviour, re-use of paper was mainly influenced via communication of problem knowledge. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Light distribution in dynamic street lighting: Two experimental studies on its effects on perceived safety, prospect, concealment, and escapeAntal Haans | Yvonne A W de Kort
Volume 32, Issue 4, July 2012, Pages 342-352
The relationship between light and perceived safety at night is intuitively strong, yet theoretically and empirically its workings are largely unknown. Intelligent dynamic road lighting, which continuously adapts to the presence and behavior of users, can light the street only when and where it is needed. As such, it offers a solution to the energy waste and luminous pollution associated with conventional road lighting. With this innovation, however, new questions emerge about the effect of lighting on perceived safety. We need to consider not only how much lighting pedestrians need to feel safe, but also which parts of the street should be lit. In two experiments, we investigated the effect of different light distributions on perceived safety, and explored mediation by people's appraisal of three safety-related cues suggested in the literature: prospect (having an overview), escape (perceived escape possibilities), and refuge/concealment (perceived hiding places for offenders). Both experiments, one with stationary and one with walking participants, demonstrated that people prefer having light in their own immediate surroundings rather than on the road that lies ahead. This could be explained, partially, by changes in prospect, escape, and concealment. Against expectations, prospect was higher with lighting distributions in which participants' immediate surroundings, but not the more distant parts of the road, were most strongly lit. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Changing environmentally harmful behaviors: A stage model of self-regulated behavioral changeSebastian Bamberg
Volume 34, Issue , June 2013, Pages 151-159
This article takes the model of action phases (MAP, Heckhausen & Gollwitzer, 1987) as a theoretical basis for conceptualizing behavioral change as a transition through a time-ordered sequence of four qualitatively different stages: predecisional, preactional, actional, and postactional. The constructs of goal intention, behavioral intention, and implementation intention provide the criteria for when an individual transits from one stage to the next. However, because MAP does not describe in detail psychological factors contributing to stage progression, constructs taken from the norm-activation model (Schwartz & Howard, 1981) and the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991) are integrated. Results of a first correlational study (N = 908) identified four homogeneous stage subgroups. As expected, the probability of stage assignment was associated significantly with the three intention types marking the transition from one stage to the next. The proposed sets of stage-specific social-cognitive variables were powerful predictors of these three intention types. Potential implications of the model for systematic intervention development are discussed. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Walking in "wild" and "tended" urban forests: The impact on psychological well-beingDörte Martens | Heinz Gutscher | Nicole Bauer
Volume 31, Issue 1, March 2011, Pages 36-44
The positive effect of natural compared to urban environment on human restoration and well-being has been proved in various studies. To go one step further in analyzing the influence of physical environments, we question if this positive effect is consistent in different natural conditions namely wild and tended urban forests. In an experimental field setting, participants were randomly assigned to either a walk through wild or tended forests for 30 min. Multidimensional scales in a pre-post-treatment-setting measured well-being. Results indicate a stronger change in "positive affect" and "negative affect" in the tended forest condition. Well-being factors "activation" and "arousal" changed after solitary walks, too. However, there were no differences between the treatment conditions, indicating a stronger influence of physical activity than the forest condition wild and tended on these well-being factors. Perceived attractiveness of the natural area did not effect the change in well-being, thus questioning the close relation between perceived attractiveness and the effect on well-being suggested in prior research. Furthermore, more and less fatigued persons did not profit differently concerning well-being changes. The results give important advice to design natural areas serving restoration and public health, especially for people living in urban environments. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
The big five personality traits and environmental engagement: Associations at the individual and societal levelTaciano L. Milfont | Chris G. Sibley
Volume 32, Issue 2, June 2012, Pages 187-195
This study compared the person and national-level personality correlates of environmental engagement. Associations between specific personality traits and environmental concern have been observed in a number of studies, but few have examined associations between the Big Five personality traits and environmental engagement. Associations at the individual-level were examined with the environmental value 'protecting the environment' (Study 1) and retrospective self-reports of electricity conservation behaviour (Study 2) in national probability samples. Country-level indices of sustainability, environmental attitudes, and harmony values were related to aggregate personality traits with data across nations (Study 3). Across both persons and nations, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness and Openness to Experience were the traits most strongly linked to environmental engagement. These findings provide insight into the ways in which stable regularities in overall behavioural patterns are linked to more specific aspects of conservation behaviour and attitudes both in persons and across entire societies. Theoretical explanations for the findings are proposed. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

The kids talked about how they had hoped to see poppies blowing ...

Travel today could have sucked the day away, but our car drop off at Nice airport and transfers through Brussels, from airport to trains, went really well.

Michigan enters its opener determined to bounce back from last season's 7-6 record and vanquish the ghosts of one the program's most devastating defeats.
Date: Saturday, November 30, 2014
Time: Noon ET
Place: Michigan Stadium (109,901), Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Series vs. Appalachian State: Appalachian State leads 1-0
Television: ESPN2
Radio: Michigan IMG Sports Network
Spread: Michigan by 34.5, via TheSpread.com
Live Stats: MGoBlue.com
Last Meeting vs. Appalachian State: Appalachian State 34, Michigan 32.
Michigan entered the 2007 game ranked No. 5 in the nation but lost 34-32 in a stunning upset. The game ended the team's national title hopes and knocked it out of the Top 25 rankings.
The first quarter ended with Michigan leading 14-7, but Appalachian State scored three second-quarter touchdowns to take a 28-17 lead into the half. Michigan battled back in the second half but failed on two two-point conversions and missed on two field-goal attempts, with the final one being blocked on the final play of the game.
The game is considered one of the greatest upsets in the history of college football.

The key to an allergy-free diet is to avoid giving your child the foods or products containing the food to which he or she is allergic. The items that your child is allergic to are called allergens.
A peanut allergy is an abnormal response of the body to the proteins found in peanuts. In order to avoid foods that contain peanuts, it is important to read food labels. Peanuts are very different from tree nuts. Still, some people with peanut allergies also need to avoid tree nuts, such as walnuts, almonds, and cashews.
Be sure to avoid giving your child foods that contain any of the following ingredients:
Artificial nuts
Beer nuts
Cold pressed, expressed, or expelled peanut oil
Ground nuts
Mixed nuts
Monkey nuts
Nu-Nuts artificial nuts
Nut pieces
Peanut butter
Peanut flour
Peanut protein hydrolysate
African, Chinese, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, and other ethnic dishes
Baked goods
Chili, spaghetti sauce
Chocolate (candy, candy bars)
Egg rolls
Enchilada sauce
Flavoring (natural and artificial)
Hydrolyzed plant protein
Hydrolyzed vegetable protein
ice creams, frozen yogurts
Mexican dishes
Mole sauce
Studies show that most allergic children can safely eat foods containing peanut oil, unless it is cold pressed, expressed, expelled peanut oil. Avoid giving your child cold pressed, expressed, and expelled peanut oil. Ask your child's health care provider if it's safe to give your child foods containing, or cooked in, other types of peanut oil.
Peanuts are very allergenic and have the potential to cause fatal reactions if ingested by peanut allergic children.
Ethnic foods, commercially prepared baked goods, and candy can be cross-contaminated with peanuts, since peanuts are frequently used in these types of foods.
Peanut butter and/or peanut flour have been known to be used in homemade chili and spaghetti sauce as thickeners.
Be aware that foods made with hydrolyzed plant and hydrolyzed vegetable protein may contain peanuts.
Nu-Nuts artificial nuts are peanuts that have been deflavored and reflavored with a nut such as pecan or walnut.

Pete's Dragon
For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales until she meets Pete.
Pete is a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliott. And from Pete's descriptions, Elliott seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham's stories. With the help of Natalie, an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon.

Science Pub Hillsboro: Subduction and Seduction
Subduction and Seduction: Upping the Appeal of Earthquake Messaging
With Liz Safran, PhD, Associate Professor of Geologic Science at Lewis & Clark College
Doors Open at 5PM | $5 Suggested Donation
The Pacific Northwest is subject to giant "megathrust" earthquakes and tsunamis like the devastating ones that struck the Indian Ocean in 2004 and Japan in 2011. Native American stories representing these events date back hundreds of years, and geologists have understood the regional hazards for at least three decades. But because the last megathrust earthquake happened in 1700, before Euro-American settlement, the Pacific Northwest is ill-prepared for the next disaster. Much critical regional infrastructure pre-dates the adoption of appropriate seismic design standards, but equally importantly, our citizenry lacks the first-hand experience with earthquakes that lends a sense of urgency to preparation.
In this talk, Associate Professor of Geological Science at Lewis & Clark College, Liz Safran, explores the role that visual media can play in helping the Pacific Northwest become an "earthquake culture." She will dive into the origins of the hazards we face and some of their potential impacts; explore the power and pitfalls of existing disaster preparation messaging; and tour you through her own experiments into what people take away from media, what motivates them to act, and what role the imaginary can play in grasping the real.
Liz is a geomorphologist – a geologist who studies how landscapes evolve. She joined the Environmental Studies Program at Lewis & Clark College in 2000. Liz's past research focused on erosion by water and landslides, but her most recent work on Cascadia earthquake-related communication is an interdisciplinary collaboration with professors in Psychology and Rhetoric and Media Studies. For Liz, this collaboration was inspired by the close connections with colleagues and the thinking across boundaries that life in an interdisciplinary program at a liberal arts college fosters. Originally from the Boston area, Liz got her bachelor's degree from Harvard University, her M.Sc. from the University of Washington, and her Ph.D. from the University of California at Santa Barbara. When not obsessing over the Cascadia earthquake, Liz is apt to be swimming, studying Japanese, running, or playing taiko drums.

Living a life of loneliness and questioning his existence, Shinji struggles to accept responsibility for mankind's battle for survival in this visually striking rebuild of one of the most important anime of all time. Shinji will fight the Angels alongside the only person who might understand his plight – Rei Ayanami, the elusive and frail pilot of Eva Unit 00. In this film experience not to be missed, Shinji and Rei will struggle to learn a simple truth: when carrying the burden of humanity's survival on your shoulders, you are not alone.

Now, with the deadly onslaught of the Angels escalating and the apocalyptic Third Impact looming, Shinji and Rei find their burden shared by two new Eva pilots, the fiery Asuka and the mysterious Mari. Maneuvering their enormous Eva machines into combat, the four young souls fight desperately to save mankind from the heavens – but will they be able to save themselves?

"We are Brad and Meag, creators of Squirrel Stash Nuts. Friends since we were 12, we have recently combined our journey and passions to create a product of our love to help us chase our dreams!"
Squirrel Stash Nuts are roasted and maple cinnamon glazed with love in small batches near the beautiful city of Burlington, VT. To stay consistent with our own sustainable beliefs we carefully wrap each Stash in a recyclable, renewable or COMPOSTABLE materials!
Durable, reusable and sustainable Squirrel Stash Ware that you can use everyday!
Almonds get nicely coated and deliver the biggest crunch. With a slight smoky flavor when roasted, almonds have a taste that makes them difficult to beat. These are Meags favorite nut last time we checked due to their crunch and dynamic taste.
Fun fact: Almonds provide more protein than your typical egg with even less cruelty.
Squirrel Stash Nuts is dedicated to providing everyone with a healthy and delicious snack at a fair price made from high quality ingredients, sourced locally when possible and packaged in materials that generate less waste which are more sustainable for the Earth - like clear compostable tree fiber bags and labels made from rocks. It is also their mission to be more than a great tasting snack but to be a leading example in how businesses can prosper from putting consumers, partners, community health, and the Earth before profits by making heartfelt decisions!Packaging with a Purpose
We work hard to be a good example to other companies out there and offer a product which comes in a package which is earth conscious without sacrificing the products quality. We ourselves strive everyday to reduce, reuse and recycle; and so should the company we have created.
Our small stashes were developed for the retail market and recently reached a major milestone: being made from completely compostable packaging. That's right, our bag, label and product are ALL compostable and can go back into the earth to help foster a more sustainable Earth. The bag is made from a clear tree fiber, the label from fair trade certified wildgrass and hemp paper and our product from all natural (amazing delicious) ingredients!
During local farmer's markets or events our nuts are served in the way we first sold our stashes and in the traditional way that glazed nuts are typically served in Germany, a paper cone. They are made from paper, a renewable and recyclable material and can also be reused as a single use beverage cup or a miniature gnome hat after enjoying-we'll leave that decision up to you..
Our sampler stash comes in an attractive and practical tin for those who want to share some Squirrel Stash Nuts in style. These tins are made in the USA from steel, which is an infinitely recyclable material. The labels are made from either a corn based PLA or paper. After enjoying your variety of nuts you can renew the use of the tin or recycle it!
Made for those that love to share their nuts, this one pound stash is packaged in a compostable bag along with our tree free compostable labels. Even the product window and liner are made from a corn based PLA!
If you've been following our story you'll know that we spent the last year traveling and exploring in our Volkswagen van. Traveling and transitioning meant pushing the pause button on nut production. With just barely a Secret Stash left, you sadly won't find Squirrel Stash Nuts at your favorite shop for much longer. However, the traveling has settled and we've relocated to Western Massachusetts where we both grew up. This means changes and new happenings for Squirrel Stash Nuts! Stay tuned and be patient for exciting things to come, our nuts will be back soon! For now be sure to check out our awesome line of Sustainables, every day goods to support a healthier, less wasteful lifestyle. In addition to what we have now, on our web store, we have some great new products on the horizon! For more instant updates follow us on FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAMApril 20th, 2015 Made in Vermont with WCAX News!
It was awesome to have Gina and her crew over to see how we integrate all that love into our maple cinnamon glazed nuts! Check out her interview HERE!October 20th, 2014 We Did It! Completely Compostable Packaging!
Since the start of Squirrel Stash Nuts, Brad and Meag have made it part of their mission to source earth conscious packaging which lessen our negative impact on the environment, with the ultimate goal of having a completely compostable package. That goal was finally achieved when we got the first batch of our new labels which are made from tree-free, fair trade certified wildgrass and hemp paper! Now our product labels and bags used for all of our Small Stashes are made from ASTM certified compostable materials! Our friends over at the solid waste district, who turn our weekly kitchen scraps into compost, are stoked with our efforts of being the first local food-based product to achieve such an accomplishment!July 23, 2014 BUZZED The first ever TRUE BEER ROASTED and glazed nut!!
Released at the 2014 Vermont Brewers Festival, BUZZED is the first of its kind! Its a true beer roasted and glazed nut where there is actually beer in each stash. After much experimentation, we finally developed a way to infuse our maple cinnamon glaze with the delicious flavors of Burlington Beer Company's, Mason Jar Mild Ale! Its an amazing savory, sweet and salty snack made using wholesome ingredients, including farmers market inspired local craft beer and wrapped in sustainable packaging!April 4, 2014 Full time Burlington Summer Farmers Market vendor!!!
Squirrel Stash Nuts has been welcomed to the Summer farmers market for the 2014 season as a full time vendor! Thats right, each Saturday from May through October, you'll be able to get your hands on delicious Squirrel Stash Nuts in City Hall park! There is little else like the beauty of the Burlington community on a Saturday market day.March 15, 2013 Squirrel Stash TAPPED
Squirrel Stash Nuts creates a new limited offering glaze deemed, Squirrel Stash TAPPED. To celebrate the sugaring season in Vermont and produce a delicious stash using a more natural sweetener, a spin off of our signature glaze was created. This mixed stash of almonds, cashews, peanuts and pecans is locally sweetened using only farmers market bought Vermont maple syrup and comes in a fancy tube made in the USA from recycled materials! December 11th, 2013Seven Days Newspaper! "Uncommon Local Products That Make Great Gifts for Foodies"
Squirrel Stash was named an "Uncommon Local Product... for the Tree Hugging Snacker" by Seven Days news.

We are Brad and Meag, the co-founders and co-operators of this Burlington, Vermont based company. Friends since the age of 12 and now hopelessly in love, together we have created deliciously dynamic roasted and maple cinnamon glazed almonds, cashews, peanuts, and pecans.
It all started a few years back in the little beach town of York, Maine; the town where we first shared a similar product. However, this particular year we were unable to find this much loved snack and that's when we got the nutty idea to bring roasted and glazed nuts to Burlington, Vermont. Immediately after returning home to Vermont we got to work experimenting with ingredients in our own kitchen. Being relatively new Vermont residents we knew we had to honor the Green Mountain state by adding the taste of the Vermont Sugar Maple and with that we created a product that was both delicious and addictive.
By the time the holiday season approached we had a product and a name we were more proud to stand by than we ever expected. At that time we knew we were ready to test our product out on friends and family in Vermont and back in our home town of Wilbraham, Massachusetts. The reactions were unanimous; not only did we love our product but so did everyone we shared them with! After the holidays it was back to the drawing board to make a plan to get our nuts into the mouths of the Burlington area (and beyond).
That plan quickly came to life with the amazing support from the state of Vermont; to repay that community and the rest of the World we strive for sustainability every day. That includes conducting compassionate business practices and using Earth friendly packaging such as our biodegradable bags and labels made from rocks. We encourage you to always reduce, reuse, and recycle whenever possible.

Wine in a box. The good stuff.
Red wine.
White wine.
Gin and soda water with a lime twist (tonic has added sugar).
If I drink I usually order a glass of water along with the drink and make sure I drink one for each alcoholic drink I consume. No headaches in the morning.
Female, age 51, 5' 9"
SW - 183 (Jan 22, 2012), CW - 159, GW - healthy.
Met my 2012 goals by losing 24 pounds.
2013 goals are to get fit and strong!
Wine in a box. The good stuff.
Female, 5'3", 50, Max squat: 202.5lbs. Max deadlift: 225 x 3.
Thanks everyone. I'm welcoming my 30s so I think that definitely calls for some celebration.
I definitely don't drink beer because I hate the taste. I have never liked the taste of red wine either unless its cooked in tomato sauce. Yes I'm that girl that orders white wine at a pub
I will be going to a club and they jack up the price on every drink. Crazy!
Don't drink very often, maybe once a month but love a gin and tonic with ice and lemon.
I DRINK OFTEN, can't wait for football, I just drink whatever I want, usually just avoiding any sugar.
Everything. Except White Zinfandel, rum, sake.

More Messages: Like Rolling Stone
Although even supporters of Tom Tancredo and Marilyn Musgrave would agree that they don't rock, the twosome wound up in the current issue ofRolling Stone
anyhow, albeit for unflattering reasons.
The Matt Taibbi-penned cover story of the November 2 issue is headlined "The Worst Congress Ever: How Our National Legislature Has Become a Stable of Thieves and Perverts -- in Five Easy Steps." This piece is accompanied by a sidebar introducing readers to "the 10 Worst Congressmen," and -- whoo-hoo! -- Colorado is one of only two states (California is the other) to land a pair of lawmakers on this disreputable roster. The Tancredo item dubs the Republican longtimer "Mr. Bigotry" for "unbridled looniness," among other sins, and notes that the National Review recently reached the conclusion that "Tom Tancredo is an idiot." As for Musgrave, she earns a pair of monikers. In the online offering, she's labeled "The Christian Soldier," while the print effort deems her "The Queen of Gay Bashing." However, both versions include the following quote from Massachusetts Representative Barney Frank: "If you're going to have someone who's a hater, it's best that she's not very bright. I appeared with her in a couple of forums to debate her bill [to outlaw gay marriage], but she's totally incapable of even explaining what it says."
Such negativity might seem damaging mere weeks prior to an election, but not in these instances. Tancredo, a former Westword profile subject, is so certain of reelection that his only televised campaign commercial to date appears to have been made on a budget of about $8.95. (In it, a teacher praises him for his work to fight genocide in Darfur -- probably the only issue on which his opponents would give him high marks.) Musgrave's spots, meanwhile, don't highlight a single positive contribution she's made since entering office. Rather, they relentlessly assault the character of opponent Angie Paccione, with one ad even accusing the Dem of running "a negative campaign." Guess Musgrave's minions don't want anyone treading on their turf, which they seem to be holding: The Pink Lady is way ahead in the polls.
In this climate, Tancredo and Musgrave can afford to shrug off the invective from Rolling Stone. When you're winning, it's easy to ignore bad reviews. -- Michael Roberts
