PSY 234 - Ecopsychology Ecopsychology is the study of the relationship between human beings and the natural world through ecological and psychological principles. It presents a challenge to the human-centric mainstream approach to psychology, and it also challenges environmental activists to approach ecology from a human standpoint. Psychology, as a science of behavior, offers important insights for understanding and changing unsustainable individual and societal systems. Increasing sustainable behavior not only has implications for environmental degradation (e.g., resource overconsumption, pollution, climate change), but also for people’s happiness, mental health, and overall well-being. Course Typically Offered: Every second spring.
Prerequisite(s): None.
Credits: 3
