Marcel Hunecke – författare

This book analyzes key findings and developments of psychology for sustainable development. The starting point is a discussion of the established literature of environmental psychology in regards to which factors influence environment-related behavior. Afterwards, the author discusses strategies and interventions that can promote sustainable behavior. It is very important that in order to increase the effectiveness of environmental psychological interventions, these must be first contextualized socially. Furthermore, interventions that aim to bring about a socio-ecological transformation should also focus on the goal of subjective well-being. Overall, the findings of environmental psychology are brought together with theories from positive psychology and the approach of psychological resources from positive psychology and the approach of psychological resources from health psychology to answer the question: How can the socio-ecological transformation of a consumer society be supported by an inner transformation of human beings. An answer to this question is provided by the promotion of six psychological resources for sustainable lifestyles: mindfulness, capacity for pleasure, self-acceptance, self-efficacy, construction of meaning and solidarity can both promote individual well-being and increase motivation for sustainable behavior.

?Marcel Hunecke erklärt die Mobilität von Menschen aus psychologischer Perspektive. Hierzu werden die innerpsychischen Einflussfaktoren des Mobilitätsverhaltens benannt und in ihrer Interaktion mit situationsbezogenen Merkmalen dargestellt.

Die Beiträge beleuchten aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive verschiedene Aspekte (Organisations- und Geschäftsmodelle, Zahlungsbereitschaften, verkehrs- und raumwissenschaftliche Aspekte, psychologische Einflussfaktoren), beschreiben durchgeführte Realexperimente und werten deren Erkenntnisse aus.

Auf der Grundlage umweltpsychologischer Erkenntnisse werden Ansatzpunkte und Strategien zur Förderung nachhaltigen Verhaltens benannt. Eine sozial-ökologischen Transformation erfordert jedoch nicht nur die Veränderung von spezifischen Verhaltensweisen, sondern umfassende Veränderungen in den bestehenden Lebensstilen. Der Ansatz der psychischen Ressourcen verfolgt dieses Ziel durch die Berücksichtigung des subjektiven Wohlbefindens als zentrale Motivationsquelle für nachhaltiges Verhalten. Hierbei gilt es auch die durch die Klimakrise verursachten Gefühle der Macht- und Hilflosigkeit zu überwinden, um das individuelle und kollektive Engagement für den Klimaschutz zu stärken.
