“…Second, previous studies (e.g., Morselli & Passini, ; Peterson, ) linking political ideology and generativity have utilized samples of adults in midlife, and the present studies utilized college samples. Conservatism may be linked with higher generativity among young adults because generativity is associated with religiosity (Brady & Hapenny, ) which, in turn, is associated with conservative political engagement and cultural conservatism (Duriez, ; Malka, Lelkes, Srivastava, Cohen, & Miller, ). Thus, conservatism may link with higher generativity at least in part due to underlying religiosity.…”

Climate change and pollution impact those alive today as well as future generations, suggesting that attitudes toward future generations may be linked with environmental attitudes. Despite the widespread impact of the environmental on human lives, there is considerable partisan divide in the United States with regards to environmental issues. We investigated relationships between political conservatism, generativity, and environmental attitudes in two studies (N = 429 and N = 618). Political conservatism was associated with lower pro‐environmental attitudes; however, political conservatism was also associated with higher generativity and had a positive indirect effect on pro‐environmental attitudes through higher generativity. More politically conservative individuals may have greater concern for future life and thereby have more pro‐environmental attitudes even while having lower pro‐environmental attitudes overall. These results likely reflect partisan polarization with regard to environmental issues. Pro‐environmental messages may be more persuasive for conservatives if they are linked to concerns about future generations.

“…The desire for a connection to an entity greater than the self is ubiquitous across civilizations and history. A sense of spirituality and/or religiosity has been linked to well-being, level of life satisfaction, and quality of life (Fernando Pietro Peres et al 2018;Piedmont 2009), as well as correlated with the prosocial behaviors of helping others and volunteerism in the community (Brady and Hapenny 2010;Grayman-Simpson and Mattis 2013). Spirituality and religiosity have been linked to improved well-being in recovery from persistent mental disorders (PMDs) (Saiz et al 2021) and may be considered a protective factor in mental health challenges at various stages of life, including adolescence (Rasic et al 2011), older adults (Ronneberg et al 2016), and across the lifespan (Haney and Rollock 2020).…”

Psychosocial stress, tension, and depression are quite common in many parts of the developed world. Integrative medicine techniques which may potentially increase spiritual and emotional well-being may be useful in combating chronic psychosocial stress, as well as challenges with depression and excessive tension. The present observational study examines the effect of singing-bowl sound healing on emotional and spiritual well-being and particularly examines interrelationships between changes in spiritual well-being with changes in tension and depressed mood post-sound healing. Participants experienced a sound healing environment of vibrational musical instruments such as singing bowls (bell-like instruments), gongs, and other vibrational instruments. Sixty-two participants were examined in an observational study using singing-bowl sound healing. Emotional and spiritual well-being were examined by utilizing standardized questionnaires. Results revealed significant correlations between improvements in scores of spiritual well-being and reductions in scores of tension and depression post-sound healing. Moreover, effects varied by age of the study participants. Specifically, the association between spiritual well-being improvement and depression improvement was strongest for ages 31–40, while spiritual well-being improvement and tension improvement associations were strongest for ages 51–60. Implications for applying sound healing meditations as a potential low-cost, low-technology therapeutic technique are discussed for emotional and spiritual well-being.
