🌍 Happy International #MotherEarthDay!

In line with this year’s theme “Our Power, Our Planet!”, we decided to design a collaborative planter for our office space—a little daily reminder of why we do our jobs: research and work together to facilitate a more sustainable relationship with nature! 🌱

Last week Jolanda Lindenbauer joined the #Klimatag 2026 in Vienna, presenting a poster on her current research using a large dataset from the Environment Agency of Austria

Take away: conflicting results suggest that not all #pro-environmental behaviours have the same relationship with #eco-anxiety.

New paper by Valeria Vitale introducing the #Nature Selection Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (NS-ERQ) – a new scale to measure how people intentionally choose natural #environments to regulate their #emotions. 🌿🧠

What happens when products are labelled as containing chemicals that are #persistent, #mobile, or #toxic? In our new #ZeroPM project paper we show that PMT labels increase public concern and support for regulation. 🔬

Happy belated festivities, or as you say in Austria “Lei Lei!” 🎉

At #ANSES (French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety) in Paris, Ellise Suffill presented her #ZeroPM work on integrating social data into the Essential Use Concept, followed by a roundtable on whether the consumer is always right and how to enable sustainable design. ♻️

Jolanda Lindenbauer joined the @envpsyvienna group last year as a student/research assistant, where she supports a project on the risk perception of #microplastics. She is also writing her master’s thesis with the group, looking at how #eco-anxiety and different #pro-environmental behaviours are related to each other. 🏡
Tatiana Shevel recently joined the Environmental Psychology Group as a #PhD student. In her research, she aims to bridge #sustainability science and #environmentalpsychology through the #inner_transformation approach. 🌱

New year, new recap! 🗓️

2025 was a pretty busy year for us and our EnvPsy Group at @univienna has grown quite significantly. We hope to keep this momentum going in 2026 and are already excited to share all the new projects & papers we have been working on!

Seeing everyone’s Spotify Wrapped last year motivated us to put together our own playlist to send off 2025 and usher in 2026! (every member from our lab got to submit one song). 🎶
So, if you ever have the time and are in the mood to discover some new music, feel free to check out our playlist!
