Although much has been written on the subject of environmental impact,
little attention has been given to the psychology behind decisions that
affect the environment. Environment, Ethics, and Behavior demonstrates
how understanding the psychological determinants of environmental
behavior may be the key to saving the earth for future generations. In
this unique collection of essays, many of the leading social, cognitive,
and decision psychologists offer revealing insights from their own
research on environmental behavior. Their scholarly perspectives shed
light on the interaction between psychological theory and contemporary
environmental and ethical issues and stimulate discussion on future
research topics.
