Does behaving green influence how we feel? pro-environmental behaviour and subjective well-being.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe climate crisis is the most pressing crisis of our time, requiring urgent mitigation measures at all levels of society. Among those is the need to increase pro-environmental behaviours.
methodsThe current study examined the role of social-psychological characteristics on pro-environmental behaviour and subjective well-being, using a nationally representative sample.
resultsResults indicated that environmental identity, climate change perceptions and direct experience of climate change were positively related to pro-environmental behaviours. More specifically, individuals with stronger environmental identity and heightened perceptions of climate change reported more frequent conservation behaviours (e.g., reducing heating, lighting, or energy use), greater engagement in sustainable transportation behaviours (e.g., carpooling, walking, or using public transportation), and higher likelihood of adopting food-related behaviours (e.g., reducing meat consumption and increasing vegetarian meals). Climate anxiety was positively related to all three pro-environmental categories of behaviours examined. Finally, engaging in these pro-environmental behaviours was related to higher levels of positive affect, negatively related to negative affect. Those relations were mediated by climate anxiety.
conclusionOverall, the findings offer insights into how to motivate climate action to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
