PSY 370: ENVIRONMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY

As the population of the world rapidly expands, the demand for food, water, shelter, fuel, and consumer goods rises resulting in increasing pressure on environmental resources. We face growing concerns about global warming, air and water pollution, deforestation, and species extinction. Environmental problems are caused by people’s behavior and will be solved by changes in people’s behavior. In this course, we will explore how psychological theories and research can help to address environmental problems and improve outcomes for both people and environments. Prerequisite: PSY 101
