Abstract:
|
Increasing demands on ecosystems, decreasing biodiversity, and climate change are among
the most pressing environmental issues of our time. As changing weather conditions are
leading to increased vector-borne diseases and heat- and flood-related deaths, it is entering
collective consciousness: environmental issues are human health issues. In public health, the
field addressing these issues is known as environmental health. This field addresses both the
effects people have on their environment as well as the effects of the environment on people.
Psychology, as a discipline concerned with explaining, predicting, and changing behavior has
much to contribute to this topic, because human behavior is key in promoting environmental
health. To date, however, an integrative view of environmental health in psychology is
lacking, hampering urgently needed progress. In this paper, we review how the environment
and human health are intertwined, and that much can be gained through a systemic view of
environmental health in psychology. Based on a review of the literature, we suggest that
psychologists unite efforts to promote an integrative science and practice of environmental
health psychology, and jointly address environmental-health related behavior. The research
agenda for this field will include integrating behavior change theory and intervention
approaches. Thereby, psychology can potentially make an important contribution to sustained
environmental health for generations to come.
