alic> = 3,242), and Illinois (n = 1,237). We tested both differences among states and relationship similarities among concepts. The states differed in terms of knowledge, normative beliefs, trust, and risks (H₁). Analyses supported the predicted conceptual relationships. For example, there were positive relationships between knowledge and beliefs about CWD management (H₂), agency trust (H₃), and risk to deer (H₄). There was a negative relationship between knowledge and risk to humans (H₅). Beliefs about CWD management were positively related to trust (H₆), risk to deer (H₇), and humans (H₈). Trust was negatively related to risk to deer (H₉) and humans (H₁₀). Results highlighted the complexities of managing a disease with no known health consequences for humans.

Environmental issues are becoming increasingly politically polarized, making common ground essential. This research investigated the political common ground of environmental motives—the reasons why nature is worth preserving. Natural language processing of liberals’ and conservatives’ open text responses (Study 1: N = 1,544) identified 12 central motives. Political common ground was shared on the most cited motives: Human survival, moral obligations to future generations, and appreciation for nature’s beauty. Political differences emerged on motives related to climate change risks and religious stewardship. Study 2 (N = 796) replicated these findings using a validated self-report questionnaire based on participant responses in Study 1. Factor analysis indicated motives belonged to four categories: Responsibility to nature, instrumental benefits, childhood experiences, and religious stewardship. These motives explained substantial variance in environmental attitudes and partially accounted for political differences in attitudes. The studies used mixed methods and direct/conceptual replication to build confidence in key findings and longstanding theoretical frameworks.

Over half a million people in the U.S. experience homelessness. Permanent supportive housing (PSH) aims to house and support formerly unhoused individuals. Few studies have considered how PSH building design affects residents’ well-being. Our work investigates the impact of built features, particularly biophilic features (e.g., indoor greenery), on the stress and sense of belonging of PSH residents. We interviewed and surveyed 28 residents of two buildings on their well-being and their environment, and conducted thematic and content analyses. Among built features, participants mentioned building upkeep and noise as most consequential for their well-being. Biophilic features improved well-being by providing multi-sensory stimuli and increasing perceived control. Overall, interpersonal relationships and perceived safety were the most mentioned themes for well-being. While meeting basic needs is essential for residents’ well-being, our findings show that building design also matters. We provide recommendations to inform future PSH development.
