In this Journal Club, Ziqian Xia describes a paper by Tiefenbeck and colleagues that showed how the digital transformation can be leveraged to enhance behavioural interventions.
Understanding public support for climate policy is essential for designing effective interventions, yet traditional surveys are often constrained by cost, scope, and temporal resolution. Two studies assess the extent to which large language models (LLMs) can serve as viable proxies for policy support on climate policy by simulating individual respo...
Climate change, driven by unchecked greenhouse gas emissions, has become a pressing global concern. While large-scale anthropogenic activities are primary contributors, individual behaviours also play a significant role in carbon emissions. Carbon Footprint Calculators (CFCs) have emerged as tools to help individuals understand and mitigate their p...
Sustainability labeling aims to encourage consumers toward environmentally friendly choices, yet its effectiveness remains uncertain. In this pre-registered meta-analysis of 49 studies (n = 150,221 participants), we assess the impact of sustainability labeling on observable consumer behaviors. Before adjusting for publication bias, labeling shows a...
This 68-country survey (n = 71,922) examines how people encounter information about science and communicate about it with others, identifies cross-country differences, and tests the extent to which economic and sociopolitical conditions predict such differences. We find that social media are the most used sources of science information in most coun...
Science is crucial for evidence-based decision-making. Public trust in scientists can help decision makers act on the basis of the best available evidence, especially during crises. However, in recent years the epistemic authority of science has been challenged, causing concerns about low public trust in scientists. We interrogated these concerns w...
Science is integral to society because it can inform individual, government, corporate, and civil society decision-making on issues such as public health, new technologies or climate change. Yet, public distrust and populist sentiment challenge the relationship between science and society. To help researchers analyse the science-society nexus acros...
Intuition often guides our thinking effectively, but it can also lead to consequential reasoning errors, underpinning poor decisions and biased judgments. Little is known about how people globally self-correct such intuitive reasoning errors and what enhances their correction. Defying prevailing models of reasoning, recent research suggests that pe...

Meta-analyses, embedded in systematic reviews, are pivotal in today's scientific landscape for reconciling conflicting findings, increasing statistical power, and charting new research directions. However, poor reporting practices that conceal technical details and potential limitations often need to be revised to maintain their reliability. Despit...
Systematic reviews represent a cornerstone of evidence-based research, yet the process is labor-intensive and time-consuming, often requiring substantial human resources. The advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) offers a novel approach to streamlining systematic reviews, particularly in the title and abstract screening phase. This study introduce...
Current knowledge about public climate change perception mainly covers belief, concern, and attitudes. However, how this discourse is interpreted using individuals’ own frame of reference remains largely unknown, particularly in many large emitters from non‐Annex I countries such as China. This study, for the first time, performs a nationwide open‐...
Science is integral to society because it can inform individual, government, corporate, and civil society decision-making on issues such as climate change. Yet, public distrust and populist sentiment may challenge the relationship between science and society. To help researchers analyse the science society nexus across different cultural contexts,...

Do people in different societies experience morality differently in everyday life? Using experience sampling methods, we investigate everyday moral experiences in a sample from 20 countries across 6 continents, thereby replicating and extending a large-scale study originally conducted in the United States and Canada. We aim to replicate key finding...

Recycling end-of-life lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are critical to mitigating pollution and recouping valuable resources. It remains imperative to determine the most eco-friendly and cost-effective process. This article presents a comprehensive assessment of two domestic hydrometallurgical and three laboratory-level recycling processes fo...
This paper analyses the relationship between export stability (ES) and air pollution by using data of 56 major exporting countries from 2009 to 2017. We find that the improvement of ES can reduce air pollution through three channels: promoting income growth, improving information accessibility, and stimulating technological innovation. The improvem...
In emerging economies, a significant amount of secondary resources are recycled by the informal sector, which can seriously harm the environment. However, some previous studies of industry management policy design ignored geographical factors. This paper introduces Geographic Information Systems into an agent-based cross-regional recycling model, a...
This study maps the shifts in subnational climate change issue priority and risk perceptions in China, based on datasets from two large-scale surveys conducted over 13 years. Our findings reveal significant increases in climate change issue priority and perceived impact (19% and 13%, respectively) at the national scale but wider regional disparitie...
Urban greening (UG) affects local climate by altering surface energy balance, while long-term UG cooling potential, patterns, and contribution to curbing urban warming remain unclear. Here we designed an novel statistical model with universal applicability to evaluate the cooling potential of UG (CPUG) and created the first CPUG map for China. By e...
Improving residents' waste recycling behavior is crucial for enhancing resource efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. Previous questionnaire-based studies have reported that individuals exhibit a high willingness to recycle, yet often fail to convert this intention into action. Analyzing 180,417 Internet of Things (IoT) behavior data points, we...
The circular economy and low-carbon economy are closely interconnected as pillars of global sustainable development. However, no consensus exists on how to maximize the carbon reduction benefits of circular practices. This paper illustrates the nexus and identifies synergy paths between low-carbon actions and circular practices via a systematic and...
Climate change is a global problem, and it is receiving increasing scientific attention due to its significant impact. To provide valuable insights for understanding and summarizing the research trends and prospects on climate change risk perception, this study takes a qualitative and quantitative analysis by using bibliometric tools. This analysis...
Will climate change experience shape people’s climate change perception? To examine the evidences, we performed a pre-registered meta-analysis using data from 302 studies, covering 351,378 observations. Our results find that climate change experience only has a weak positive correlation with climate change awareness in general (r = 0.098, 95% CI 0....
To reduce food waste, many behavioural intervention experiments have been conducted worldwide, but their effectiveness remains unclear. To assess their impacts, we present a meta-analysis based on 58 studies, selected after screening 1143 papers, which were conducted between 2011 and 2021 covering 26 533 participants. We confirm that behavioural in...

This study aimed to synthesize the global literature based on the Web of Science Core Collection scientific database from 1992 to 2020 and summarize the research trends and prospects...
Promoting pro-environmental behaviors is an effective means of reducing carbon emissions at the individual end, but the measurement of behaviors has long been a problem for scholars. Especially in environmental psychology community, the complexity of social policies and habitat implies greater difficulty in measuring. Due to the limitations of trad...
Understanding the intention and behavior of individual is crucial to the effective implementation of waste sorting. Previous scholars mainly studied it through questionnaire research. This approach has a limited sample size, and the real behavior is difficult to quantify. In this paper, 180,417 drop-off data from 13,047 college students in the back...
Questions
Question (1)
Recently I collected a global dataset with 700 observations but strongly unbalanced. And I need to figure out the nonlinear relationship between variables. I tried panel threshold and quantile regression but it all requires balanced data, and I don't think simply two-way FE is enough to explain the nexus. Could anyone give me some advice on analyzing unbalanced datasets?
