🚨 Psyched to share our first paper in JEnvPsy, led by the brillliant @jonasnitschke.bsky.social! We find that trust in science + climate-specific worry (not general worry) together predict support for climate policies. So don’t just worry, worry specifically and take action 🤓
1/ Excited to share our new paper in the Journal of Environmental Psychology examining how trust in science and different forms of worry relate to pro-environmental behavior and support for climate mitigation policies. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.je...

Another amazing year at the SCAN unit with: 30+ papers🗞️ Many new faces 🤓 Long train rides 🚂 Rejections, resubmissions 📝 Tomatoes 🍅 A lot of science 🧠 And even more teamwork and shared moments 🫶 Thanks 2025 - looking forward to 2026 ✨
Our preregistered systematic review & meta-analysis published in Nature Mental Health shows that nature exposure is linked to small-to-moderate reductions in self-reported pain (SMD = .53; N = 4,439). But high heterogeneity and moderate-to-high risk of bias call for a cautious interpretation (1/5)
Nature exposure reduces self-reported pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis - Nature Mental Health
The authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 62 studies, including more than 4,400 participants across 21 countries, to investigate the effects of nature exposure on self-reported pa...

Nature exposure may be a promising adjunct non-pharmacological pain treatment strategy, but more work is needed. Big thanks to @jonasnitschke.bsky.social, @clauslamm.bsky.social, Mat White, the reviewers/editors at Nature Mental Health, and @fwf-at.bsky.social for making this project possible (5/5)

We are a bit late for this, but happy new year from the SCAN unit! 🎈 We are thankful for the productive and joyful times together and looking forward to another year of exciting research! 🤩 Here is our 2024 in review 👇
We created a starter pack for all current and former members of the SCAN unit @univie.ac.at Topics: social, cognitive, affective, and environmental neuroscience and psychology 🧠🤗 Follow us for updates on our research! bsky.app/start/did:pl...
🌍 Thrilled to share our new preprint and the first part of my thesis! Using machine learning, we analyzed data from 55 countries to uncover key individual and nation-level predictors of climate change beliefs & behaviors. Let's dive in! 🧵 1/12
Come work with us - SIX yr. postdoc in Environmental Social Neuroscience 🧠🏞️ @univie (@ScanUnit, @clauslamm). Develop own research line, transition towards junior group leader, excellent research infrastructure, supportive work environment 🥳 & 🏆mentoring 👉 tinyurl.com/EnvSocNeuro 🔁 Share please
In case someone hasn't realized it yet from this list: the people @ScanUnit are the coolest, kindest, and smartest collaborators I could ever have wished for :) Thanks so much for letting me live my dream - do great science, satisfy my curiosity, and having fun w/ others doing it
SCAN Unit@scanunit.bsky.social · 3y agoFor those interested in the coolest present for @clauslamm.bsky.social anniversary - we wrote a “paper”named “How to be a good supervisor: a mixed-methods case study of Claus Lamm” 🤓 here the link ucloud.univie.ac.at/index.php/s/...
Interested in the effects of stress on delay discounting (preference for instant smaller vs delayed greater rewards)? We have a new preprint available! 1/5
Happy new year from us! 🥳😊 Following with our tradition we present to you our year in figures and wish you all the best for 2024!
