Psychologies of the Environment: Searching for Themes in the Literature
Abstract
Psychology's leaders have called for research and practices that contribute to the cultivation of more environmentally sustainable lifestyles. Much work has been done by psychologies of the environment, which include environmental psychology, ecopsychology, ecological psychology, and other areas; but these diffuse and disparate disciplines with varying approaches, methodologies, and publication sources may make it difficult to identify efforts and findings relevant to environmental issues, behavior, and sustainability. As such, this study sought to explore research from psychologies of the environment to highlight content themes within the literature, sources in which this research was published, and the extent to which cases offered novel data. Using a qualitative approach, this study examined the content of 449 published works, identifying 12 themes in the literature. Results revealed the most common journal sources, as well as the content areas most active in collecting new data and publishing research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
