what pyschological explaination u can offer for peoples anti- enviornment behaviour?
eason for anti environment attitude
-lot of energy invested in earlier attitude formation, do not want to change it
-fear of change, not mobile personality
-short term thinking of materialistic loss
-lack of education, no scientific temper
-narcisstic orientation: major concern for present generation and my family and not future generation
-scarcity of resources,psychological reality in india hence overexploitation w/o consideration
-no stringent action,tf no consequences, tf no incentive to stop
-no role models in developed countries
other points that i have are more general tahn psychological, infact i feel points mentioned earlier are also very general. do give additional inputs.
2) tokenism: ppl do ltl bit n assume they have done thr bit
3) denial: whr is envt change its not immideately visible....one may ask
4) rationalization: whn others dont do nethin y shud I?
5) bystander effect: of social psych. collective responsibilty gets divided among all so impulse to do nethin abt envt is very ltl
6) poor role models: various summits n how envt is not the real q but the politics that sabotages all genuine efforts
7) lack of identification: whith varuios org lyk green peace etc.they r still activists with banners n stuff for common ppl
many more can be added
remdies: 1) cognitive dissonance for attitude change
2) dealing with various rationalizations n defenses etc
3) gud ldrship
4) sensitzation thru mass media: showing hoe glaciers r really melting etc etc
Lack of incentive/reinforcement /punishment for engaging in this behavior
2.Lack of awareness /knowledge about what harm we are doing by engaging in anti-environment behavior
3.Some times mental disorder also increase the chance of anti-environmental behavior
Remedies:
1. Inclusion of pro- environment behavior in CRPs
2.Use of small groups for promotion of pro-envirn behaviour
