A new study led by @envpsyvienna master student Patricia Stehl in #JournalofEnvironmentalPsychology shows that growing up around #bluespaces positively impacts #natureconnectedness and pro-environmental behaviour later in life 🌊🌍

🔍 Key Findings: ⤵️
- Positive link between childhood blue space exposure and adult #PEB
- Nature connectedness and frequent visits to blue/green spaces mediate the relationship
- Childhood exposure independently linked to adult PEB
Today we got the opportunity to meet the @unep & #CarpathianConvention team at #UNVienna who are working on topics like #biodiversity conservation of #mountains. Exciting to see the increasing interest in #environmentalpsychology.
Presenting the "EnvPsy Vienna 2023 Wrap-Up" 🎀
A bit late to the party, but we'd like to present you our year in numbers. Thanks for following along and all the best for 2024!
📚🔍 As part of the "kinderuni.online macht Schule" programme, #research packages for #schools are developed together with kids and scientists. The new package on the interplay between #mobility and #climateprotection includes a contribution from our colleague @leoniefian on the topic: "How important is #nature for our #wellbeing?" 🌱 The research package is freely accessible and can be used by teachers from 2nd to 8th grade.

Hello there, I'm Nina! I joined @envpsyvienna and #cogsciunivie as a postdoc more than a year ago, so it's definitely time for me to introduce myself.
I'm interested in #riskperception, #sciencecommunication, environmental policy support and pro-environmental behavior, which I'm investigating in the scope of: #SourceToSeas and #ProjectGOLIAT. I also enjoy discovering cities, recipes, hiking routes, podcasts and indie movies.
Addi and Laurie - both Master's students - tell in our latest blog how they experienced their first participation in a really high-caliber international meeting of a really big project! #ResonateHorizonEurope #NatureBasedTherapy #EarlyCareerResearchers

Our colleague @leoniefian was interviewed by Katharina Brunner for the current issue of @datumsdz on the human-nature relationship. In the article "Beziehungskrise" she talks about nature connectedness and nature contact, also in the context of increasing urbanisation, and why the human-nature relationship is political.
