Boundary of ecosystem services: A response to Chen et al. (2023)
Gray, Murray; Fox, Nathan; Gordon, John E.; Brilha, J. B.; Charkraborty, Sbhik; Garcia, Maria da Glória; Hjort, Jan; Kubalíková, LucieChen et al. (2023) have proposed a scheme to define which services should be included as ecosystem services and which should be excluded so as to avoid “an all-encompassing metaphor that captures any benefit”. We discuss the proposals, drawing attention in particular to definitions of ‘natural capital’ and ‘ecosystems’, the complexities of separating biotic from abiotic flows, and the importance of geodiversity...
The Psychological Science Accelerator's COVID-19 rapid-response dataset
Buchanan, Erin M.; Lewis, Savannah C.; Paris, Bastien; Forscher, Patrick S.; Pavlacic, Jeffrey M.; Beshears, Julie E.; Drexler, Shira MeirIn response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Psychological Science Accelerator coordinated three large-scale psychological studies to examine the effects of loss-gain framing, cognitive reappraisals, and autonomy framing manipulations on behavioral intentions and affective measures. The data collected (April to October 2020) included specific measures for each experimental study, a general questionnaire examining ...

This cross-country, preregistered experiment (n = 25,718 from 89 countries) tested hypotheses concerning generalizable positive and negative outcomes of social distancing messages that promoted personal agency and reflective choices (i.e., an autonomy-support...
In COVID-19 Health Messaging, Loss Framing Increases Anxiety with Little-to-No ...
Dorison, Charles A; Lerner, Jennifer S; Heller, Blake H; Rothman, Alexander J; Kawachi, Ichiro I; Wang, Ke; Rees, Vaughan W; Gill, Brian P; Gibbs, NancyThe COVID-19 pandemic (and its aftermath) highlights a critical need to communicate health information effectively to the global public. Given that subtle differences in information framing can have meaningful effects on behavior, behavioral science research highlights a pressing question: Is it more effective to frame COVID-19 health messages in terms of potential losses (e.g., "If you do not practice these st...
A multi-country test of brief reappraisal interventions on emotions during the ...
Wang, Ke; Goldenberg, Amit; Dorison, Charles A; Miller, Jeremy K; Uusberg, Andero; Lerner, Jennifer S; Gross, James J; Agesin, Bamikole BamikoleThe COVID-19 pandemic has increased negative emotions and decreased positive emotions globally. Left unchecked, these emotional changes might have a wide array of adverse impacts. To reduce negative emotions and increase positive emotions, we tested the effectiveness of reappraisal, an emotion-regulation strategy that modifies how one thinks about a situation. Participants from 87 countries and regions (n = 21,...
