Affective resonance and place bonds: the roles of empathy and place attachment for pro-environmental behavior.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
As environmental pollution intensifies and ecological challenges become more pronounced, fostering pro-environmental behavior (PEB) is increasingly important for sustainable urban development. Although prior studies have linked environmental perception to environmental behavior, the emotional mechanisms underlying this relationship remain insufficiently explored, especially the joint roles of multiple pathways. This study examines how landscape perception is associated with pro-environmental behavior through empathy and place attachment. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 478 users across three comprehensive urban parks in Chengdu, China. Structural equation modeling was applied to estimate direct and indirect relationships among landscape perception, emotional responses, and PEB. Results indicate that positive landscape perceptions significantly promote PEB both directly and indirectly. Empathy and place attachment serve as key mediators, with empathy exerting a stronger mediating effect. Clarifying these differentiated emotional pathways advances understanding of environment and behavior relationships and informs the design and management of urban green spaces to support broader urban environmental governance.
