ABSTRACT

Environmental psychologists have recently sounded the alarm that many climate and biological scientists have been sounding for some time (Gifford, 2008; Koger & Winter, 2010; Ones & Dilchert, 2012; Swim, Stern, et al., 2011; Vlek & Steg, 2007). Several of these calls to action acknowledge that psychology has been a bit slow in responding. One explanation for the apparent slow response is that other natural scientists have not recognized either the value of psychology or its culpability in dealing with issues of sustainability.
