Linking psychology and sustainability: research gaps and future directions

Although there is a growing literature concerning sustainability that is grounded in psychology, particularly environmental psychology, much of the current knowledge in this field is still derived from the works of researchers in ecology, environmental science, geography, architecture, and sociolo...
