The body of evidence supporting the psychological benefits exposure to virtual nature, such as increased mood and decreased stress, is rapidly growing. However, few studies have explored potential nature boost subjective vitality, defined a positive feeling aliveness energy. In this contribution, we investigate role in enhancing vitality through restorativeness. particular, expand existing literature by considering different types natural environments (i.e., national park, lacustrine...
Abstract People who make habitual use of an emotion regulation strategy such as cognitive reappraisal may be more sensitive to the cues coming from a surrounding natural environment and, thus, get benefits virtual nature exposure enhanced subjective vitality. However, no previous study investigated moderating role in relationship between different types environments (a national park, lacustrine environment, and arctic vs. urban environment) We designed between-subject design (four...
Despite the well-established evidence supporting restorative potential of nature exposure, neurophysiological underpinnings cognitive/emotional effect are not yet fully understood. The main purpose current study was to investigate association between exposure and electroencephalography (EEG) functional connectivity in distress network.Fifty-three individuals (11 men 42 women; mean age 21.38 ± 1.54 years) were randomly assigned two groups: (i) a green group (ii) gray group.

Previous studies have found a positive relationship between binding moral foundations and negative inter-group attitudes. Nevertheless, some shown that, under specific conditions, can also lead to outcomes, particularly within the intra-group context. In this research, we hypothesize that when people perceive in-group members violate norms, individuals with stronger may exhibit greater preference for choices in hypothetical dilemmas. This hypothesis was confirmed Study 1 (N = 184) replicated...

The beneficial effect of exposure to nature and immersion in natural environments on perceived well-being is well established. Nevertheless, we acknowledge an emerging need disentangle the role specific environmental features from individual factors that encourage a positive person-environment interaction. This study aimed at evaluating associations between four buffer distances greenness dimensions restorativeness, with connectedness towards (CTN) as confounder variable, sample 312 visitors...
Virtual reality (VR) finds many fields of application due to its capability reproduce "in virtuo" real environments. Previous studies highlighted that exposure virtual environments leads restorativeness, which in turn is related several positive psychological outcomes. However, the mechanisms lead restorativeness are still unclear. The main aim this study was investigate mediating role sense presence relationship between and restorativeness. We conducted a with 2 × between-subjects design....
Among relevant consequences of organizational socialization, a key factor is the promotion citizenship behaviors toward individuals (i.e. OCBI). However, relation between socialization and OCBI has received little attention. This study tests validity moderated mediation model in which we examine mediating effect decreased interpersonal strain on relationship OCBI, moderation role positive personal resource reducing when an unsuccessful subsists. A cross-sectional was conducted 765 new...
Abstract Retention of volunteers is a main issue for no‐profit organizations. In the present study, using cross‐sectional design, determinants volunteers’ intentions to continue their service were investigated in sample 116 at different Italian organizations (M age = 42.32, SD 15.91). Guided by conceptual model volunteer process, we hypothesized that organizational socialization should mediate link between prosocial personality and intention volunteering. Results confirmed our prediction....

Specific risk attitude and risky behavior had an important boost during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In this contribution, we hypothesize that access to nature home confinement will decrease both tendency passive taking alcohol intake. To do so, interviewed through online survey two samples of Italian residents strict lockdown due first wave COVID-19 Specifically, in Study 1, participants were 1519 coming from different regions, whilst 2, 182 students at a university...

Moreover, expected emotion regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal expressive suppression, as protective risk factors respectively) to interact with gender shaping psychological health. We administered an online questionnaire 1519 participants...
