Anthropogenic climate change, caused by the uncontrolled emission of greenhouse gases, is perhaps the greatest global challenge facing humanity. Psychology is the science of behaviour, so it takes on the task of studying and proposing coping strategies with regard to CC. Two strategies are possible: to mitigate the consequences of CC; and to adapt to those consequences. This article summarizes the main findings of psycho-environmental research related to psychological and situational predictors of coping responses to CC. It reviews the role of cognitive-rational determinants, affective-emotional factors, behavioural capabilities, personality traits and situational factors that facilitate mitigation and adaptive actions to CC. The paper concludes by discussing the role that psychology could play in global CC coping strategies, recognizing that there is a need to increase interest within the psychology community in the pressing problems of climate change.

Mitigation behaviours regarding climate change are actions that seek to halt or reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Adaptive responses, on the other hand, are coping reactions to this phenomenon. The research presented here tested out an explanatory model for mitigation behaviours and coping reactions in response to the phenomenon of climate change (perceived risk and impact on the environment and health) based on beliefs regarding CC, obstacles to protect oneself from this phenomenon and intention to act. A total of 370 people from two Mexican cities took part in the research. The findings, processed by a structural equations model, show that beliefs regarding CC influence coping responses and intention to act, which in turn positively impact mitigation behaviours in response to CC. Beliefs regarding CC did not affect the perception of obstacles to protect oneself from climate change. Furthermore, the perception of obstacles and coping responses similarly did not influence intention to act.

This paper investigates the dimensions of sustainable behavior, with a particular focus on the aspects of self-care, caring for others, and caring for the environment. Its aim was to test the assumption that sustainable behavior not only encompasses pro-social and pro-environmental actions, as the current research acknowledges, but also behaviors that are directed toward self-preservation and care. A subscale of self-care specifically developed for this research was added to a series of previously validated instruments assessing altruistic, equitable, pro-ecological, and frugal behaviors to examine the personal, social, and physical environmental aspects of sustainable behavior. Responses from a sample of 290 participants confirmed the three-dimensional structure of sustainable behavior. Results suggest sustainability, understood as a chain of interdependences between the individual, society, and nature, begins with self-care and continues with caring for others, and with caring for the biosphere, which, in turn, affords for a more sustainable environment for the individual.

La perspectiva temporal es una variable psicológica que se ha asociado con múltiples comportamientos, entre ellos la conducta sustentable (CS). Son escasos los estudios sobre la relación entre la orientación temporal denominada futuro trascendental y la CS. Objetivo: estimar las relaciones entre dos perspectivas temporales (orientación al futuro y orientación al futuro trascendental) y la conducta sustentable; y su asociación, con el autocuidado y la felicidad. Metodología: estudio correlacional, con un diseño no experimental, transeccional. Participaron 209 personas de una ciudad al noroeste de México, con una edad promedio de 30.33 años, quienes respondieron a un instrumento que constó de ocho escalas Likert que evaluaron perspectiva de futuro, perspectiva temporal de futuro trascendental, conducta proecológica, altruismo, frugalidad, equidad, comportamientos de autocuidado y felicidad subjetiva. Las interrelaciones entre las variables se estimaron mediante un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Resultados: las orientaciones temporales al futuro y al futuro trascendental influyen en las conductas sustentables (conducta proecológica, altruismo, frugalidad, equidad), que, a su vez, impactan en la felicidad y el autocuidado de las personas. Conclusiones: Estos hallazgos aportan información valiosa que ayuda a elucidar las características que posee un individuo que orienta su conducta a los ideales de la sostenibilidad.

Climate change mitigation behaviors (CCMB) are actions required to decrease the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for anthropogenic climate change. The present study examines the influence of social and physical situational factors on CCMB in a sample of two hundred individuals living in a Mexican city. Participants responded to a series of scales focused on assessing CCMB such as household thermic comfort, pro-environmental family orientation, and perceptions of the city’s pro-environmental public facilities, services, and community values. All of these situational factors were significantly interrelated, which suggests that they all affect CCMB. Yet, according to a structural model, the only factor that resulted in a significant (and more salient) direct influence on CCMB was pro-environmental family orientation. A second structural model indicated that household thermic comfort, pro-environmental public facilities/services, and pro-environmental public values had an indirect effect on CCMB mediated by pro-environmental family orientation.

Affinity towards diversity (ATD) is the tendency to appreciate the dynamic variety of biophysical and socio-cultural scenarios. ATD may reveal a human predisposition to conserve the diversity necessary to guarantee the preservation of human and natural ecosystems. This study expands upon previous studies which employed only self-report measures by introducing a version of the Implicit Association Test (IAT) and by using a mediational model to test whether ATD through sustainable (pro-environmental and pro-social) behaviors leads to greater wellbeing. We recruited 119 Mexican students to complete a computerized IAT task and respond to ATD, wellbeing, and sustainable behavior self-report questionnaires. Reliability analyses of the scales utilized showed acceptable indexes. A mediational model was tested to examine whether sustainable behaviors mediate the relationship between ATD and wellbeing. Results demonstrated that affinity towards diversity indirectly predicted wellbeing via the mediating effects of pro-environmental behaviors and altruism. Despite finding an association between self-reported affinity towards biodiversity and IAT reaction times, an association was not found with D scores, highlighting the need for further research. These findings suggest that those with increased inclination towards diversity are more prone to engage in environmentally (both physical and social) protective behaviors and to experience psychological wellbeing.

Se estudiaron las respuestas que dieron 200 habitantes de una ciudad del norte mexicano a un instrumento que investigaba el grado de riesgo percibido en 84 situaciones. Éstas incluían peligros potenciales debidos a la naturaleza, uso de tecnologías, conductas criminales y comportamientos personales de riesgo. Los sujetos calificaron qué tan peligrosa era cada situación para el medio ambiente físico (riesgo ambiental), para la sociedad (riesgo social) y para sí mismos (riesgo personal). Se examinaron, asi mismo, conductas de cuidado del medio ambiente reportadas por los sujetos, y algunas variables demográficas. De acuerdo con tres modelos de regresión múltiple, la percepción de riesgos ambientales parece desembocar en conductas de cuidado del ambiente, lo cual no sucede con la percepción de riesgos sociales y personales. En los tres casos, se encontró que las personas de mayor edad y con ingresos económicos más bajos perciben un mayor riesgo ambiental, social y personal. Se analizan estos resultados en el marco de posibles estrategias de prevención y afrontamiento de riesgos para el ambiente, la sociedad y los individuos en particular.

Water is one of the most valuable natural resources for humankind and other forms of life on earth, and this chapter addresses the topic of its conservation. Environmental psychology (EP) investigates the dispositional and contextual factors that incite both water waste/contamination and conservation. It also studies the psychological positive consequences that result from engaging in water conservationist practices. The obtained information has let us know the individual characteristics that promote water conservation behaviors, the extrinsic and intrinsic consequences that maintain those behaviors, and the situations that make people use water in a sustainable way. EP also participates in the design of interventional strategies aimed at the instauration of conservationist uses of freshwater, including water conservation campaigns, environmental education programs, and experiments intended to shift wasteful and contaminating water uses toward more sustainable water-consuming behaviors. A model integrating the knowledge on freshwater conservation determinants and its consequences is presented and future directions for research and interventions are outlined.

The concept of affinity towards diversity (ATD) is introduced and illustrated with two studies on the psychological drivers of pro-sustainability orientation and environmentally friendly behaviors. In light of the importance that biological and social ecological sciences assign to diversity within socio-ecological systems, ATD was conceptualized as an individual predisposition to appreciate the dynamic variety of human–nature interactions in everyday life situations. ATD implies valuing and liking biological and socio-cultural diversity, more than simply being respectful before or accepting differences in the social and physical contexts. Two different samples of Mexicans responded to a series of scales, one of them assessing ATD. The scale exhibited an acceptable level of internal consistency and it also showed construct validity, according to the results of two structural equation models. A first study showed that ATD significantly and negatively covaries with a scale of intolerance, and positively covaries with a measure of environmentally friendly behavior. A second study revealed also that ATD, together with other psychological factors (future orientation, altruism, emotions towards nature), forms the basis for a pro-sustainability orientation which, in turn, predicts environmentally friendly behaviors.

It is thought that a dichotomy exists between two apparently contradictory belief systems: the so-called “Human Exception Paradigm” (HEP)—an anthropocentric belief system—and the “New Environmental Paradigm” (NEP), of ecocentric nature. The aim of this article was to test the presence of an integrative, nondichotomic, New Human Interdependence Paradigm (NHIP) and its influence on water conservation practices. The NHIP envisages interdependence between human progress and nature conservation and conceives it as a dynamic process of integration and incorporation of human needs into natural processes. Seven hundred and fifty-nine individuals living in cities of France, Italy, Mexico, and India responded to items of a purposively developed measuring instrument (the NHIP scale), as well to items of the HEP-NEP scale. They also self-reported the frequency of water conservation actions at their households. The NHIP coherently emerged from its observed indicators and it was a slightly better predictor of water conservation than the HEP-NEP scale.

O autor define o objeto da Psicologia Ambiental como a mútua influência de fatores ambientais e comportamentais no enfoque de problemas específicos e de suas soluções. Quanto às dimensões da realidade, discute primeiramente o tópico ambiente físico e as condições que deveriam ser levadas em conta ao estudar o comportamento ambiental e, a seguir, os aspectos sócio-culturais dos entornos e como esses influenciam as visões de mundo, tanto leigas quanto científicas, apontando que, como diferentes culturas produzem visões ambientais diferentes, estas podem se manifestar como psicologias ambientais específicas, o que não significa abandonar a idéia de uma Psicologia Ambiental universal.

Waste management practices of 200 northern Mexicans were studied by directly observing what they did with used objects (aluminum, clothes, steel, paper, cardboard and newspaper) they had separated for reuse and recycling purposes. Adult and young people living in low, middle and high socioeconomic-strata zones of a city participated in this study. Their demographic information (age, gender, income, schooling level) was obtained and situational factors such as size of household, availability of recycling services, spaces for storing objects, type of communication media used, among others, were registered. Psychological factors such as environmental beliefs, environmental knowledge and conservation motives were also investigated. Few correlations were found within instances of reuse and recycling practices, implying that particular conservation practices are determined by different personal and situational factors. Regression analyses revealed that although most of these factors were situational, some psychological variables—especially conservation motives—significantly influenced the reuse and recycling of individuals. Recommendations for encouraging conservation practices in the studied community (and similar contexts) are presented.

Um modelo de fatores psicológicos e situacionais que afetam o consumo de água foi especificado e testado. Foram sujeitos deste estudo 500 indivíduos moradores de duas cidades do estado de Sonora, no México. Uma dessas cidades sofre escassez crônica de água, enquanto a outra tem provisão suficiente do líquido. Foram realizadas observações diretas do consumo de água e de habilidades para conservação de indivíduos em diferentes atividades. Através de um questionário também foram avaliadas crenças utilitárias relativas ao uso de água e motivos para sua conservação. A posse de utensílios que envolvem o uso de água foi considerada como um fator situacional que promove seu consumo, ao passo que a escassez de água foi considerada um inibidor potencial desse consumo. Estas variáveis foram incorporadas em um modelo estrutural, cujos resultados revelaram que o consumo de água foi significativa e positivamente influenciado por crenças utilitárias e pela posse de equipamentos domésticos facilitadores do consumo, enquanto que motivos e habilidades de conservação bem como escassez de água inibiam tal consumo. Motivos de conservação foram positivamente afetados pela escassez de água e habilidades de conservação, e negativamente influenciados por crenças utilitárias. Covariâncias significativas entre os determinantes de consumo de água revelaram a interdependência de variáveis situacionais e psicológicas ao influenciarem o uso da água.

According to relevant literature, anti-environmental behaviors such as wasting natural resources are a type of antisocial behaviors. However, there is limited empirical evidence showing a significant relationship between those kinds of negative actions. The aim of this study was to investigate such relationship. One hundred and fourteen persons living at a Mexican city responded to a questionnaire investigating their tolerance to antisocial behaviors (hitting somebody, stealing objects, cheating, etc.). Direct observations of people engaging in water waste actions were also conducted. These included observations of the time the individuals invested in washing their cars, washing their households' sidewalk and washing the portion of street in front of their houses. Results of a structural model indicated that a significant relationship between people's tolerance to antisocial actions and their waste of water exists, as anticipated. Implications of these findings for research in conservation behavior are discussed.

This paper explores the effect of the perception of externalities (PE) on residential water consumption. Externalities occur when individuals make decisions that harm others, without concern for the impact or feeling a need to compensate for the harm. The aim of this study was to investigate whether PE affects people's motivation to conserve water, and, consequently, the practice of residential water consumption. Two hundred eighty Mexican citizens responded to a questionnaire investigating how they perceived that other individuals in their community wasted water. Respondents were also asked about their motives to conserve water, and direct observations of individual water consumption were recorded. Results were processed within a structural equations model, which revealed that motives to conserve water significantly inhibit water consumption. Since the perception of extemalities also inhibits conservation motives, the resulting effect of PE on water consumption is positive. This result means that the more people perceive that others waste water, the less their conservation motives, and, therefore, the more their own water consumption.
