  • Mental Health and Social Science
    For Mental Health Professionals How Climate Intersects with Mental Health Counseling Climate change is usually described in terms of carbon emissions in the atmosphere and the resulting threats to our society and environment through events like sea level rise, species extinction, and escalating natural disasters such as wildfires and floods. Little attention has been paid to the tremendous mental health impacts of climate change. In 2012, the Executive Summary of the Psychological Effects of Global Warming on the United States warned that, “Global warming…in the coming years…will foster public trauma, depression, violence, alienation, substance abuse, suicide, psychotic episodes, post-traumatic stress disorders and many other mental health-related conditions.” (NWF). Communities worldwide are already experiencing losses through extreme climate events with a steady rise in eco-anxiety and grief. For many, worries about the future have grown into persistent existential dread. The American Psychological Association (APA) has had a task force on the interface between psychology and global climate change for more than a decade. A December 2019 Harris Poll sponsored by the APA found that 68% of adults experience some anxiety about climate change, and 47% of those aged 18 – 34 report their feelings about climate change affect their daily lives. The National Institutes of Health found that nearly one in three teens ages 13 to 18 experience an anxiety disorder with climate themes being a primary trigger. Despite its lack of inclusion in our DSM-5, emerging mental health terminology offers definitions for a range of experiences from the impacts of climate change: ● Eco-anxiety: An experience of dread, helplessness, and/or existential anxiety triggered by the seemingly irrevocable impacts of climate change.

    A Menu for Change Using behavioural science to promote sustainable diets around the world The Behavioural Insights Team / A Menu for Change 2 The Behavioural Insights Team / A Menu for Change Toby Park, Head of Energy & Sustainability, The Behavioural Insights Team [email protected] Acknowledgements This report has benefitted from several individuals’ contributions. With particular thanks for substantive research support and contributions to early content and the structure of the report, to Emma Garnett (University of Cambridge) and Brittney Titus (University of Oxford), both supporting us while at placement at BIT. With thanks also to Elisabeth Costa (BIT), Dr Filippo Bianchi (BIT), Dr Jessica Barker (BIT), and Dr Christian Reynolds (University of Sheffield) for their valuable feedback and comments. This is a long report. We hope you’ll read it cover-to-cover, but if not, it’s written to allow you to dip into individual sections. Look out for the short orange descriptions at the beginning of each chapter to keep track of where you are. Sections 1.1-1.2 introduce the problem, and make the rationale for shifting global diets. This will be familiar ground for environmental scientists. Section 1.3 looks at the current state, and emerging trends, in diets around the world, and Section 1.4 highlights the many historical occasions when diets have radically changed through technological innovation or deliberate intervention from government and industry. Section 1.5 acknowledges the sensitivities of this topic, and offers some reflections on how we might navigate public and political consent. We don’t have all the answers here but give a series of recommendations for building public support and developing effective policy.

This area deals with the study of the interactions between human behavior and the socio-physical components of the environment. The emphasis on the interrelationship of environment and behavior is important; not only physical settings affect people’s behavior, individuals actively influence the environment. Thus, several studies have proposed the existence of a series of predispositions which allow the appreciation of diversity and the interdependence of person–environment relationships, making it possible to adopt lifestyles that can guarantee the sustainability of socio-ecological systems for present and future generations. Therefore, in order to work towards the goals of sustainability, it is necessary to know which are the inclinations or dispositions that people present when caring for the environment. The objective of this research was to identify the association between the variables of psychosocial predispositions towards sustainability with environmental identity in a sample of higher education students from southern Sonora.

  • Penner Polle-2016
    October, 2016 Volume 16, No. 3 Unfreezing Ourselves: Global Warming, Climate Trauma and EFT Christine Penner Polle Abstract In the fall of 2016 we find ourselves in the midst of an unprecedented planet-wide ecological crisis. Not only are we at war with each other, as we are reminded daily on the news, but humanity is in many respects at war with the earth that sustains life. While this war doesn’t make news headlines often, all of us are traumatized by this ecological violence. Some of us, especially children, feel its effects on our psyches and our bodies more acutely. Along with personal stories from the front lines of climate activism, this article will discuss the still young field of climate psychology as well as new developments and research in climate trauma and pre-traumatic stress syndrome. In particular, the freeze aspect of the fight-flight-freeze response will be examined, along with the healing role that Energy Psychology in general, and EFT in particular, can have. It is the aim of the author, an ordinary citizen, a mother and educator engaged in working for change, to inform readers but also imbue them with a sense of hope in the face of the current global ecological emergency. There is great potential for personal and planetary healing in the face of this daunting crisis. Key Words:: Climate change, global warming, sixth mass extinction, climate trauma, pre-traumatic stress syndrome Introduction Climate Change/Global Warming Although the Earth‘s climate has changed many times throughout the planet’s history, the rapid warming seen today cannot be explained by natural processes alone.

Correspondence This paper looks at some categories of defenses that block Dennis Haseley, Training and Supervising Analyst, Psychoanalytic Association of New acknowledgement of this pressing threat. It cites the work York, an affiliate of the NYU Langone School of Renee Lertzman, an analytically oriented social scientist, of Medicine. Email: [email protected] whose research suggested that disavowal, negation, or denial could be deconstructed and viewed as defenses against intolerable anxieties, feelings of helplessness and disappointment, loss and guilt, and warded-off wishes for agency and reparation. Clinical examples and personal self-reflection are employed to posit that when anxiety over climate change, a serious disquiet in its own right, gets confused with childhood traumatic anxiety, with its attendant feelings of helplessness, smallness, hopelessness, shame, isolation, and useless rage, then dysfunctional defenses and affects are more likely to come to the fore. In contrast to this, realistic anxiety over our changing climate and need to shift from a carbon-based culture can be made more tolerable and can allow one to face the uncertain future, to feel one's feelings, to work them through, to share them without shame, and to feel a certain amount of agency in confronting the climate future and working to cope with it, both individually and societally.

  • Journal of Consumer Behaviour Special Issue Environmental
    Journal of Consumer Behaviour Special Issue Environmental Values and Sustainable Consumption Submissions Open September 1, 2022 and due by October 31, 2022 Summary When engaging in sustainable consumption practices (SCP) consumers usually exert an effort to minimise or avoid the adverse effects of consumption on environmental wellbeing. It requires consumers to prioritise environmental wellbeing over personal comfort and voluntarily engage in environmentally friendly consumer practices (Connolly & Prothero, 2008). Environmentally conscious consumers usually buy products with favourable environmental effects (e.g., products that claim zero CO2 emissions, ethically and sustainably sourced or higher level of biodegradability) (Nguyen & Johnson, 2020). Among other factors such as health concerns, environmental values are also found to be positively related with consumers’ willingness to purchase these products (Liu, Yan, & Zhou, 2017; Thøgersen, Haugaard, & Olesen, 2010; Van der Werff, Steg, & Keizer, 2014). In contrast, some research finds no direct association between environmental values and SCPs (Röös & Tjärnemo, 2011; Shao, Taisch, & Ortega-Mier, 2016) and perceptual differences in how individuals relate to nature cannot also be ignored (Kunchamboo, Lee, & Brace-Govan, 2017; Nisbet, Zelenski, & Murphy, 2009) Classified into three distinctive elements (egoistic-self concerned, altruistic-others concerned, and biospheric-nature concerned) (Schultz, 2001), environmental values are defined as affective environmental concerns (Schultz et al., 2005). They are beliefs about the significance of wellbeing of the natural environment and how the natural environment is regarded by humans (Reser & Bentrupperbäumer, 2005). Drawing from Schwartz’s norm-activation model of altruism (1981), Stern, Dietz and Kalof (1993)) also propose three types of environmental values. They are altruistic, egoistic, and biospheric values that are correlated and influence SCP (González-Rodríguez, Díaz-Fernández, & Font, 2020).

Integrated Well-being: Positive Psychology and the Natural World Abstract In the web of life, we are all interconnected. This connectivity extends beyond the human domain and towards systems much larger than ourselves—the whole of the Earth’s species. As this paper illustrates, this connectivity with non-human life is innate, and deepening that connection to nature has positive influences on our well-being and optimal functioning, above and beyond the mere utilitarian value that our environment affords. Whether looking at nature through a window or being fully immersed, wild spaces are good for our mental and physical health, our likelihood to engage in ecological behaviors, and our personal and community resiliency and well-being. Initiatives that recognize the importance of wild spaces also build powerful, positive, sustainable communities. When positive psychology notions of well- being are more systems-based and nature-inclusive, we get a deeper and more holistic understanding of our own psychology.
