Bücher von Marcel Hunecke

Auf der Grundlage umweltpsychologischer Erkenntnisse werden Ansatzpunkte und Strategien zur Forderung nachhaltigen Verhaltens benannt. Eine sozial-okologischen Transformation erfordert jedoch nicht nur die Veranderung von spezifischen Verhaltensweisen, sondern umfassende Veranderungen in den bestehenden Lebensstilen. Der Ansatz der psychischen Ressourcen verfolgt dieses Ziel durch die Berucksichtigung des subjektiven Wohlbefindens als zentrale Motivationsquelle fur nachhaltiges Verhalten. Hierbei gilt es auch die durch die Klimakrise verursachten Gefuhle der Macht- und Hilflosigkeit zu uberwinden, um das individuelle und kollektive Engagement fur den Klimaschutz zu starken.

This book analyzes key findings and developments of psychology for sustainable development. The starting point is a discussion of the established literature of environmental psychology in regards to which factors influence environment-related behavior. Afterwards, the author discusses strategies and interventions that can promote sustainable behavior. It is very important that in order to increase the effectiveness of environmental psychological interventions, these must be first contextualized socially. Furthermore, interventions that aim to bring about a socio-ecological transformation should also focus on the goal of subjective well-being. Overall, the findings of environmental psychology are brought together with theories from positive psychology and the approach of psychological resources from positive psychology and the approach of psychological resources from health psychology to answer the question: How can the socio-ecological transformation of a consumer society be supported by an inner transformation of human beings. An answer to this question is provided by the promotion of six psychological resources for sustainable lifestyles: mindfulness, capacity for pleasure, self-acceptance, self-efficacy, construction of meaning and solidarity can both promote individual well-being and increase motivation for sustainable behavior.
