The ancients knew it already: how Stoic philosophy explains the link between mindfulness, emotion regulation and pro-environmental behaviours (Los antiguos ya lo sabían: cómo explica la filosofía estoica el vínculo entre mindfulness, regulación emocional y la conducta proambiental)
No full textA growing body of research suggests that there might be a strong link between (1) a specific way of applying a non-judgemental and present-centred attention to what seems to be an outer reality, known as mindfulness, (2) using emotion-regulation strategies (such as, for example, cognitive reappraisal) and (3) adopting a more sustainable lifestyle, implying a self-aware caring for the natural environment and the resources therein. The relationship between these factors, which we call here 'the triple link', has been supported by recent empirical data, from independent studies, using different approaches, across various disciplines. We present in this article a philosophical explanation of this relationship, based on the Ancient Stoic School of Philosophy, which can also be found in other ancient Western and Eastern philosophies. These reflections open a different perspective on the urgent issues of lifestyle change and behavioural interventions needed to cope with the potential environmental catastrophe, a perspective that reaches out of psychology and includes the metaphysical dimension in the understanding of people-environment relations

Ambientalismo, etnocentrismo ed autoritarismo: una scala di atteggiamento verso il verde urbano
No full textRicerche condotte in precedenza hanno evidenziato la natura bidimensionale degli atteggiamenti verso il verde urbano e proposto uno strumento preliminare per la misura di tali atteggiamenti: la scala di Integrazione/Opposizione tra le persone e la natura in città (Bonnes, Aiello, Bonaiuto, 1999). Il presente contributo si propone di verificare empiricamente la dimensionalità e la coerenza interna di una versione aggiornata di tale scala. Vengono inoltre indagate le relazioni tra gli atteggiamenti verso il verde urbano e i costrutti di autoritarismo ed etnocentrism

Is it really nature that restores people? A comparison with historical sites with high restorative potential
Full text linkResearch on restorative environments has showed the healthy outcomes of nature experience, though often by comparing attractive natural to unattractive built environments. Some studies indeed showed the restorative value of artistic/historical settings. In a quasi-experimental study involving 125 participants in Rome, Italy, a natural and a built/historical environment, both scoring high in restorative properties, were evaluated in a natural, built/historical, or neutral setting. In accordance with the Biophilia hypothesis and the Attention Restoration Theory (ART), we hypothesized: a higher restorative potential of nature also when compared to built/historical environments; a moderation effect of on-site experience on perceived restorative potential (PRP) of both environmental typologies; higher levels of restorative properties of the environment for on-site vs. not on-site respondents; and a mediation effect of the restorative properties of the environment in the relationship between time spent on-site and PRP. Results supported the hypotheses. In addition, different psychological processes leading to restoration emerged for the natural and the built/historical environment. Theoretical implications for ART and practical applications for an integrative urban design with natural and historical elements are discussed
