As internet & AI use increases at a rapid rate we need to recognise the impact this has on the environment. In this JEVP commentary I argue we need to investigate and understand online sustainable behaviour so we can address this concern. authors.elsevier.com/a/1llSkzzKDP...

I'm hoping to get UG psychology students to complete preregistrations of their final year projects, anybody got any experience/advice? It will be for both qual and quant studies, and I want to keep it as simple as possible (i.e. not mandatory or assessed). Thanks!!

This post could cause a confusion that leads to widespread panic in the UK elderly/student population.

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.

Can I class myself as bilingual if I can go between typing 'behaviour' and 'behavior' seamlessly between different documents?

We're hosting an @ehbea.bsky.social funded workshop at Worcester University on applying evolutionary theory to environmental behaviour on March 28th. A great selection of presenters, and attendance is free! Book your place here: tinyurl.com/23tbcznv

If only the evolutionary social sciences had more Margo Wilsons. Lovely piece from Daniel Nettle on how her work is "a particularly successful example of how you can bring evolutionary understanding to social science topics and be genuinely constructive; rather than just irritating people"

Just reviewing a study with a whopping 11-point Likert scale - surely going for the record there?

Apparently it still needs saying that the UK's economy has continued to grow, even as CO2 emissions have fallen www.carbonbrief.org/...

I wish I could go back in time, and not tell Bluesky I like sports. I mean, I do like sport, but it's not limited to American Football, and oh my God they will not shut up about it on my timeline!

“Will pay any amount.” Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

New pre-print with not-here-yet @DrManiBhogal on the role of pro-envrionmental traits and attitudes in mate choice decision-making www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Just submitted a manuscript that replicates a previous study, and it was desk-rejected because of a large overlap in methods/results text flagged between the two 🤷

I hope Shippam's Paste start using bluesky to engage with customers and hey having fun! Like the good old days...

Time to break out the work snood

It's a bit disappointing to attend a research conference that values inclusivity and diversity, and to have a presenter deliberately mispronounce a non-British name for laughs - and then getting them from the audience 🤔

Right then, first post here is about our recent paper in the Journal of Environmental Psychology, introducing the Email Conservation Task, a new online measure of pro-environmental behaviour. If you're interested in using the task, get in touch! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
