Title:Enriching environmental psychology with cross-national comparisons.
Abstract:
Humans’ interactions with their surrounding environments are embedded in national contexts. A complete rendition of environmental psychology herefore necessitates sensitivity to the influence of contextual factors and the possibility of cross-national variations. In this talk, I will demonstrate that mainstream research in our field currently lacks such sensitivity. I will also review some recent theories and research evidence regarding the role of country-level factors in human responses to environmental issues.
