Psychology and Climate Change: Human Perceptions, Impacts, and Responses organizes and summarizes recent psychological research that relates to the issue of climate change. The book covers topics such as how people perceive and respond to climate change, how people understand and communicate about the issue, how it impacts individuals and communities, particularly vulnerable communities, and how individuals and communities can best prepare for and mitigate negative climate change impacts. It addresses the topic at multiple scales, from individuals to close social networks and communities. Further, it considers the role of social diversity in shaping vulnerability and reactions to climate change.

Psychology and Climate Change describes the implications of psychological processes such as perceptions and motivations (e.g., risk perception, motivated cognition, denial), emotional responses, group identities, mental health and well-being, sense of place, and behavior (mitigation and adaptation). The book strives to engage diverse stakeholders, from multiple disciplines in addition to psychology, and at every level of decision making - individual, community, national, and international, to understand the ways in which human capabilities and tendencies can and should shape policy and action to address the urgent and very real issue of climate change.

  • Examines the role of knowledge, norms, experience, and social context in climate change awareness and action
  • Considers the role of identity threat, identity-based motivation, and belonging
  • Presents a conceptual framework for classifying individual and household behavior
  • Develops a model to explain environmentally sustainable behavior
  • Draws on what we know about participation in collective action
  • Describes ways to improve the effectiveness of climate change communication efforts
  • Discusses the difference between acute climate change events and slowly-emerging changes on our mental health
  • Addresses psychological stress and injury related to global climate change from an intersectional justice perspective
  • Promotes individual and community resilience

Preface

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing society. Often described as an environmental problem, it is better understood as a human problem: human behavior is largely responsible, human beings will be affected, and human behavioral change will be required. The role of psychology in understanding and addressing this problem is not widely recognized, however, despite a large and growing body of relevant research. This book is designed to survey recent psychological research on a range of relevant topics. Each chapter presents a review of what is known in the area as well as a new perspective on human perceptions, impacts, and responses to climate change.

Taking a psychological perspective implies an emphasis on peoples thoughts, emotions, and behavior; it stresses the scientific method, in which theory is used to guide hypotheses, and data are collected to test the hypotheses; and it is oriented, implicitly or explicitly, toward the promotion of human wellbeing. These papers deliberately reflect on the process of theory-building and/or hypothesis-testing in order to more clearly demonstrate the value of a psychological approach. Underlying all is the goal to promote the involvement of psychologists and psychological research in interdisciplinary collaborations to address climate change.

The first section of the book addresses the psychology behind perceptions of climate change. explores the role of social identities such as race and class in affecting experiences and perceptions of climate change.

In the second section, we move to human responses. considers collective behaviors in response to climate change, and discusses possible benefits of collective action for individual wellbeing.

The third section of the book presents research on psychological impacts of climate change. takes a community-based perspective on risk and resilience.

The challenge of climate change can only be met through the combined efforts of scientists from many disciplines alongside policymakers and other public officials. Our hope is that this volume will help both psychologists and others to recognize the potential contributions from psychology.
