❤ Environmental psychology ❤ p4

I'm not very excited to talk about my career. Not because I don't like it, but because I think the subject is too broad and difficult to pose in English, because there are many concepts that I don't know how they are written since the translation is not literal. So I'll talk about what recently called my attention, which is environmental psychology.

This area is relatively new in psychology, and has recently gained momentum due to climate change and the need to understand the mutual interaction between individuals and the environment, how they understand it and how they relate to it. Therefore, it is an area that takes knowledge of social psychology, as well as community psychology and other areas of interest, outside the field of psychology. And firmly supports an interdisciplinary approach to the problem, understanding that most of problems that afflict us as a society must be approached from all knowledge, and not only from some.



Although in its beginnings it was oriented to study the environmental groups, today its investigations cover diverse thematic ones. For example, given the overwhelming scientific evidence on climate change, how is it possible that in the United States someone who denies their existence is openly elected as president?, Why do people continue to deny the existence of this phenomenon (climatic change)?, Why individuals do not change their lifestyles to mitigate their effects? What motivates some people to care about the environment?, etc.
