is a seminal textbook by Susan M. Koger and Deborah DuNann Winter that bridges the gap between human behavior and ecological health. Now in its 4th edition (re-titled Psychology for Sustainability ), the work frames "environmental problems" as behavioral outcomes rather than purely technical failures. Core Approaches to Sustainability
Details how toxic exposures and environmental stress directly impact human neuropsychology and overall well-being.
Examines how mental heuristics, biases, and a lack of immediate sensory feedback (e.g., the invisibility of CO2) hinder our response to global threats.
Investigates the power of social norms and group identity in driving collective action or inaction.
Focuses on the role of reinforcement and incentives in shaping habits like recycling or energy consumption.
