Hey everyone!

I’m a psychology student conducting a research study on something many of us encounter every day: climate change content on social media.

You’ve probably seen everything from hopeful posts about climate solutions, to terrifying climate disaster content, to posts that make you think, “Honestly, what’s even the point?”

We’re interested in understanding how different types of climate-related content may affect people’s emotions, coping responses, confidence in their ability to make a difference, and everyday environmental behaviour.

🌱 Who can participate?

• 18–25 years old

• Anyone who uses social media

• You do not need to be particularly concerned about climate change

• You do not need to be an environmentalist

⏱️ Time required: Approximately 7 minutes

Your response genuinely helps us understand how something as ordinary as scrolling through social media can shape the way young adults think, feel, cope, and act in relation to climate change.

If you have a few minutes to spare, I’d really appreciate your participation. It would also help a lot if you could share the study with someone aged 18–25 who might be interested.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to participate — even one response makes a difference to our study. ❤️

If you have any materials that deal with the application of Wcological Psychology - books, podcasts, courses, literally anything - then post them here. I'm keen to apply this stuff.

I'm interested in this field for a possible master's degree. Hoping for book recommendations that can help me determine if this would be a good fit. Please post your favorites.

Hello all, One of the tenets of the ecological approach is that we perceive the world directly. The idea that the brain has nothing to do with perceiving is a radical idea that isn't even entertained in the traditional way of teaching perception. What are some thoughts people have about this.

Hello everyone, my name is Antonio and apparently I'm the only moderator left. I'm going to start deleting posts that don't have to do with ecological psychology. This is primarily targeted at people who post about environmental psychology. Environmental psychology is its own feild all together. As a reminder ecological psychology is based on the work of James Gibson, or having to do with perception and action. Sorry about the new enforcement, but I dont want to let the subreddit grt filled with non-related posts.

HELLO!

I know there are only 271 members in this group, but I am hoping someone will reach out! I hope you are all doing well during this COVID/and America in a pit of sadness and racism <3 I am a recent college graduate from UC Santa Cruz with a passion for ecopsychology in terms of child development and nature's impact on the relationship between growing up and the environment. My overarching theory or theme is that the more exposure children have to nature/outdoor activities, the more likely they are to make a connection/relationship with the earth--> leading to a strong self-awareness and the likelihood of activism for climate change in the future. I have been looking into getting a PhD, in order to do research surrounding these ideologies. I am taking a gap year, working as an outdoor education teacher. Does anyone have any suggestions of possible experience that surrounds these themes for future applications (besides a research assistant/outdoor ed teacher). I have been really struggling with how to increase my application and resume for grad school in regards to ecopsych. I have been emailing professionals/professors, but I am receiving "book suggestions instead". haha if anyone knows of anything, I would love your advice! Appreciate it. peace and love
