Thank you @NatRevPsych , @JennRichler .and @TeresaSchubert for the opportunity of writing a JC article ( and share this amazing work by Tiefenbeck et al. I was inspired and enlighten by this study, which incorporates digital insights into behavior change.
In this Journal Club, Ziqian Xia describes a @NatureEnergyJnl paper by Tiefenbeck and colleagues that showed how the digital transformation can be leveraged to enhance behavioural interventions.

INTERESTING! Although it is common sense that climate change communication would increase PEB. However, maybe there are crowding-out or sides effects here, such as a decrease in PEB when government actions are recognized, or worsening climate news triggers defensive mechanism.
A classic measure of pro-environmental attitudes (NEP) is going down over time in a new meta-analysis of 184 samples: This seems inconsistent with increasing public concern about climate change and environment in general. What are the possibilities? 1/2

And the correlation between extreme weather experience and climate change perception negligible.
So if you know me you know I am a huge fan of the amazing Joel Millward-Hopkins who is not on the hellsite. I haven't shared this paper before, but I think it's one of his most important. "Why the impacts of climate change may make us less likely to reduce emissions"

I plan to continue using Mendeley for a while, but I believe I will eventually switch to Zotero. And yes, Mendeley Ref Manager is really a bad designed browser wrapper.
Elsevier is killing Mendeley Desktop next week. A good time to move to desktop-first @Zotero. See here for migration steps:

Appreciating the efforts of @icep2023 to facilitate virtual participation. Might we consider some interactivity for online attendees (like ask questions in the chat)? It would greatly enrich the experience and inclusivity for participants outside Europe who can't travel.

Really excellent and thought-provoking work :).
Is it effective to fight global climate change by making people care more about the climate?. According to a recent review by @CameronBrick & colleagues: Maybe not. A better strategy: Connect new interventions to fundamental, pre-existing social needs.

Really important research, our behavior are definitely guided by our thinking. After understanding individual's perception, perhaps the intention-behavior gap will be the next step.
How well do people understand the climate impact of individual actions? Not very well—and I think this type of research is foundational for understanding research priorities and crafting effective messaging. Kudos @WynesSeth . 1/3

Takeaway for future works: 1) Most studies neglect to examine the long-term and collateral effects of the intervention. 2) Various settings and contextual factors should be considered when developing targeted intervention policies. 3) Interventions must be tailored. 4/4.
