“…Some research findings on psychological empowerment show that psychological empowerment has a positive impact on attitudes, behaviors, and performance [32]. For example, psychological resource theory suggests that when individuals have the appropriate perceptions of psychological empowerment, they positively construct their work roles, uncover hidden values, make innovation their intrinsic pursuit, and increase innovative behavior [33]. Gregory et al (2010) clarified the existence of an individual-organizational fit, which assesses the alignment of human and organizational values.…”

The implementation of low-carbon behavior by citizens is of the utmost importance in constructing China’s ecological civilization and achieving its dual-carbon objectives. As a result, exploring the formation and recurrence mechanisms of carbon-neutral citizenship behavior may have a positive impact on realizing China’s carbon reduction targets. This study explores a comprehensive analysis method of multi-subject interactive evolution of carbon-neutral citizenship behavior. It expands the connotation of behavioral intervention from individual single execution (citizens actively adhere to carbon-neutral behavior) to multi-driven implementation (citizens inspire other residents to comply with carbon-neutral behavior based on their own adherence). Furthermore, this study constructs a collaborative and interactive “follow–drive” mechanism for carbon-neutral citizenship behavior. Through Python software 3.8 simulation, this study examines the formation and stabilization process of carbon-neutral citizenship behavior under different influencing factors. The research findings are as follows: (1) If the government neglects its duties more severely, it is more inclined to adopt incentive policies, thereby increasing the likelihood that both kinds of the citizens will choose to follow carbon-neutral behavior. This suggests that the proactive introduction of relevant policies and regulations by the government has a positive influence on citizens’ carbon-neutral behavior. (2) With a higher perceived level of psychological–physical bimetric health among citizens, both kinds of the citizens are more inclined to follow and drive carbon-neutral behavior, while the chances of the government selecting incentive policies decrease, and it takes longer to attain final stability (i.e., selecting incentive policies). (3) In situations where there is a greater loss of group norms in the external environment of the citizen group, both kinds of the citizens are more likely to opt for and drive carbon-neutral behavior. This, in turn, reduces the likelihood of the government selecting incentive policies. Finally, based on the research findings, relevant policy recommendations are given.

Background Developing an understanding of the negative impact of discrimination is critical when examining the suicidality of Black young adults in the US. Suicide rates among Black young adults have increased at alarming rates. One of the reasons for this increase is the disparities related to access to mental health services, which has long-term health consequences. This study addresses a significant gap in the literature by examining associations between experiences of everyday discrimination, attitudes towards mental health help-seeking attitudes, on the outcomes suicide ideation, planning to die by suicide, and suicide attempts. Methods The data came from a national study of the experiences of Black young adults regarding mental, physical, and sexual health. Participants were recruited from across the Midwestern region of the United States through Qualtrics Panels, an online survey delivery service used to recruit study participants. The total sample for this study was N = 362, and the average age of the sample was 21 (SD: 1.96). We used a logistic regression analysis to examine the role of everyday discrimination, mental health support-seeking attitudes, and covariates on the outcomes: suicide ideation, planning to die by committing suicide, and suicide attempts. Results Black young adults with positive mental health help-seeking attitudes were 34% less likely to attempt suicide (OR = 0.66; 95% CI: 0.46, 0.96) and 35% less likely to experience suicide ideation (OR = 0.65; 95% CI: 0.47, 0.89). However, those young adults who experienced discrimination daily were more likely to report having attempted suicide (OR = 1.70; 95% CI: 1.34, 2.15). Conclusions Our findings offer valuable insights into the complex interplay between experiences of discrimination, attitudes toward seeking mental health support, and suicidal behaviors. However, our research also underscores how experiences of discrimination can significantly exacerbate feelings of isolation, hopelessness, and inadequacy, further contributing to suicidal behaviors in this population. By promoting positive mental health help-seeking behaviors, actively addressing discrimination, and applying an intersectional approach to suicide prevention efforts, we can take significant strides towards building a more supportive and inclusive society. This approach aims to empower individuals to seek help, reduce the risk of suicidal behaviors, and create a more welcoming environment for all members of our community.
