Article Synopsis
  • Understanding pro-environmental behavior is essential for addressing the socio-ecological crisis, with climate emotions and ideological frameworks, particularly from religions like Buddhism, playing significant roles in shaping actions and attitudes towards the environment.
  • A study of thirteen Western Buddhist climate activists revealed that interpretations of Buddhist teachings, such as compassion and interconnectedness, influence emotional responses to climate issues and manifest in varying degrees of care for nature, as well as emotional challenges like climate anxiety.
  • The findings indicate that while Buddhist practices can help mitigate feelings of burnout and uncertainty, they can also lead to social disengagement if individuals focus too much on inner reflection rather than collective action, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to activism within the context of Buddhism.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how callous-unemotional (CU) traits and cognitive difficulties relate to externalizing problems like aggression and conduct disorders, highlighting that prior research often missed common risk factors between these elements.
  • It utilized data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study® to analyze associations in a large sample, employing sophisticated statistical methods to ensure accurate results.
  • Findings indicate CU traits are linked to higher reports of conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and ADHD, with cognitive difficulties affecting aggressive behaviors in a more specific manner, but there wasn't significant variation in these relationships based on cognitive function.
