Determinants of CSR and green purchase intention: Mediating role of customer green psychology during COVID-19 pandemic

COVID-19 is a viral disease also comprehended as a coronavirus pandemic that has compelled the world to revisit business strategies to encounter COVID-19 challenges. Over the last decade, ample research has been accomplished on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and circular economy. Nevertheless, a key research gap requires to be filled that how CSR can perform a foremost role in engaging stakeholders like consumers during the COVID-19 era. Drawing from the stakeholder theory, this research endeavors to probe CSR's impact on green purchase intention (GPI) with mediating role of green psychology (GP). Data for the study were gathered from mainland China employing convenience sampling and examined by utilizing SEM (Structural Equation Model). First, the study indicated a direct relationship between CSR and GPI as well as between CSR and GP within three streams, i.e., green trust (GT), green satisfaction (GS), and green perceived value (GPV). It is found that GT, GS, and GPV positively influence GPI whereas the positive mediating relationships of each GP factor were autonomously observed between CSR and GPI, respectively. This research can improve the understanding of the enterprises about consumers and how incorporating green activities may enhance consumers' GPI and GP during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study addresses numerous interesting and insightful implications for strategic management together with certain possibilities for prospective researchers.

Eco Therapy and Spirituality in Forensic Mental Health: A Preliminary Outcome Study

Abstract Date Presented 03/26/20 OT and spiritual-care staff supported a weekly group at accessible nature spaces over 12 weeks for forensic mental-health clients (n = 9) in Ontario, Canada. Outcomes were measured qualitatively consistent with interpretative phenomenological analysis. Themes highlighted freedom, connection to nature, unguarded reflection and relaxation, and strengthened human connections. Analysis of eco inputs in supporting mental-illness recovery has been limited; this study supports that conversation.

Psicología ambiental y ecopsicología en edad evolutiva: aspectos cognitivos, afectivos y relacionales

Ecopsicología y psicología ambiental estudian la relación individuo-medio ambiente, poniendo de relieve los efectos beneficiosos que el contacto con la naturaleza puede generar en los sujetos a nivel cognoscitivo, afectivo, individual y relacional.Los objetivos que la investigación se ha propuesto conseguir son: explorar las relaciones y vivencias que los niños tienen con respecto a las plantas, espacios abiertos naturales y animales; desarrollar el sentido de pertenencia al territorio; evaluar la percepción del grado de conexión con la naturaleza; evaluar si el contacto con la naturaleza modifique y facilite procesos de aprendizaje, modalidades relacionales; ofrecer un espacio lúdico recreativo-relacional naturalista a niños de escuelas primarias; favorecer recorridos culturales que apunten a la valorización y “re-descubrimiento” de la naturaleza. Crear y ofrecer los espacios naturalistas donde los niños puedan expresar vivencias, emociones, necesidades; sensibilización a la cuestión medioambiental; evaluar la sensibilidad y el conocimiento que los niños tienen con respecto a la crisis medioambiental; evaluación de los efectos que los laboratorios naturalistas tienen en el bienestar de los niños; evaluación del impacto educativo y “re-equilibrador” de la naturaleza.La investigación ha previsto la activación de laboratorios naturalistas en una cuarta y una quinta de una escuela pública primaria del municipio de Palermo, durante un año escolar con una frecuencia semanal (grupo experimental). Al final de la investigación-intervención se han suministrado la CNS (Connectedness to Nature Escalera) y la NRS (Nature Relatedness Escaleras) a las dos muestras de la investigación: el grupo experimental, y un grupo de control homogéneo por edad, sexo, clases.Los resultados muestran una significativa diferencia estadística entre los dos grupos, a prueba del hecho, la investigación-intervención ha logrado validar la hipótesis de base y perseguir los objetivos.

The (dis)connection child and nature depicted by gestalt-therapy and ecopsychology

espanolEn este articulo se presenta una reflexion basada en la terapia Gestalt y la Ecopsicologia sobre la conexion natural y espontanea entre los ninos y la naturaleza - una actitud YO-TU -y el proceso de introyeccion de los valores culturales que llevan a la desconexion y a la perdida de la reciprocidad y de la relacion de dialogo entre ellos, convirtiendola en una actitud YO-ESTO. Se utiliza como sustrato para esta reflexion un cuento para ninos - El arbol generoso - el cual, con el lenguaje de la imaginacion, transmite facilmente a los ninos los valores de la sociedad urbano-industrial-capitalista, que han creado raices en su forma de sentir, pensar y actuar; consumiendose, poco a poco, la salud fisica y mental del hombre y de la sociedad en la cual opera. En el articulo se destaca la importancia del awareness acerca de la relacion de interdependencia entre el hombre y la red de la vida para el desarrollo de una nueva etica, capaz de nutrir la reconexion entre los dos y volver a establecer una relacion de respeto, apoyo mutuo y cooperacion entre todos los seres vivos. EnglishThis article presents a reflection based on Gestalt therapy and Ecopsychology on the natural and spontaneous connection between child and nature - an I-THOU attitude - and the process of introjection of cultural values that lead to disconnection, loss of reciprocity and the dialogical relationship between both, transforming it into an I-IT attitude. A children's story is the starting point for this reflection: The giving tree. Using the language of imagination, it easily transmits to the child values of an urban-industrial-capitalist society, which have been rooted in their way of feeling, thinking and acting, depleting, little by little, the physical and mental health of man and society. The article highlights the importance of awareness about the interdependent relationship of man and the life web in the development of a new ethic, capable of nurturing the reconnection between both and reestablishing a relationship of respect, support and mutual cooperation amongst all living beings. portuguesEste artigo apresenta uma reflexao com base na Gestalt-terapia e na Ecopsicologia sobre a conexao natural e espontânea entre a crianca e a natureza - uma atitude EU-TU - e o processo de introjecao dos valores da cultura que conduzem a desconexao, a perda da reciprocidade e da relacao dialogica entre ambos, transformando-a em uma atitude EU-ISSO. Utiliza como substrato para esta reflexao uma historia infantil - A arvore generosa - que, com a linguagem da imaginacao, transmite facilmente a crianca os valores da sociedade urbana-industrial-capitalista, os quais tem se enraizado no seu modo de sentir, pensar e agir; definhando, pouco a pouco, a saude fisica e mental do homem e da sociedade em que se insere. Evidencia a importância da awareness acerca da relacao interdependente do homem com a teia da vida para o desenvolvimento de uma nova etica, capaz de nutrir a reconexao entre ambos e reestabelecer uma relacao de respeito, apoio e cooperacao mutua entre todos os seres viventes.

Play therapy in perspective theory of eco systemic therapy

Play therapy is a counseling approach for children applying toys, games, and other play media to communicate to the children "language." One of the Play therapy models that combine ecosystems as being formed by an inseparable reciprocal relationship between living things, and their environment is Eco systemic Play Therapy (EPT). Ecosystem Play Therapy as a hybrid model that integrates the concepts of science biology, several models of child psychotherapy, and developmental theories. This model is not eclectic. Rather, it is the integration of several models to create an independent model that is different from the sum of its parts. The focus of EPT is on the process of optimizing the implementation of the child's function as the context of the child's ecosystem or world. EPT is developed from a phenomenological philosophical perspective, in contrast to traditional perspectives.

Art therapy Places, flows, forces, matter and becoming

This paper explores perspectives on the setting or room where art therapy takes place as an intense sensory, affective and meaning-filled site or placeworld wherein social, material, discursive, and psychological forces mingle. Using Dovey’s (2010 appropriation of the assemblage of Deleuze and Guattari (1987), the art therapy room is conceptualised as a dynamic ‘state of affairs’, wherein multiple forces including the political, ephemeral, discursive, material, interpersonal or psychodynamic are at play. Here, matter has agency with which we negotiate, collude and engage, albeit often semi- consciously and tacitly. Located initially in a phenomenological reading of the lived experience of the setting of art therapy for both art therapists and their clients, this proposition of the agential dimension of matter evolves and develops ideas from eco-psychology, new materialism and post-human discourses. Keyword: art room, studio, material conditions, place, client experience, therapist experience

Nothing in This World Is Indifferent to Us': The Primacy of Encounter and the Intersubjectivity of Nature

“We’re moving from one plane of reality to another,” says Terry Tempest Williams in an interview with Yes! Magazine, “and what is required of us is spiritual.” Many people alive in the United States today have grown up bombarded by the seemingly futile refrain that if we don’t cut back on x (activity) in y (years), z (catastrophe) will ensue – with x becoming broader in scope, y becoming smaller in number, and z becoming more horrific with each passing year. Among the natural responses to such daunting and repetitive premonitions are anxiety and anguish: “Accept the anxiety, embrace the deeper anguish,” suggests Robert Jensen, “and then get apocalyptic.” Drawing upon Laudato si, liberation theology, and eco psychology, this paper argues for the importance of encounters (increasingly scarce) with the natural world, human and other-than-human, as a necessary spiritual practice grounding a commitment to ecojustice in times which are indeed end times of sorts. In a consideration of theological anthropology, I suggest, along with ecopsychologist Will Adams, that our subjectivity is indeed an intersubjectivity, arising out of our ethical response to not only the human other but also the other-than-human. We are by nature relational beings, and we must remember that this relation is not only relevant in human-human relationships. Liberation theologians have articulated the foundational nature of the encounter with poor – an experience which at once inspires awe, evokes mercy, and demands action – in grounding liberative praxis. Likewise, the encounter with nature, when its intersubjectivity is considered, grounds a praxis of ecojustice. Finally, understanding apocalypse in its etymological sense as “unveiling,” I argue for the role of the apocalyptic imagination, in making possible sustained exposure to such encounters, which entail both joy and despair. “Expect the end of the world,” writes Wendell Berry, “Be joyful though you have considered all the facts…Practice resurrection.”
