The Environmental Psychology of Pro-Sustainability Virtues

This chapter analyzes variables that may enhance or constrain the development of pro-sustainability virtues, and it discusses how certain changes in environmental conditions may lead virtuous people to produce either pro-sustainable or anti-sustainable behaviors. In our analysis, virtues are conceived as traits serving adaptive purposes and subject to environmental influences, which can moderate the virtues–sustainable behavior relationship. We introduce a framework to investigate environment–behavior interactions that include pro-sustainability virtues. This framework is based on the idea that “positive environments,” settings that are able to meet human needs, simultaneously incite the development of virtuous tendencies and behaviors aimed at protecting the socio-physical environment.

The article reports an overview of studies that have investigated the role of attitudes in understanding tourists’ sustainable choices. The literature is discussed in the light of theories and empirical research in social and environmental psychology. The aim is to show how past and present work in these disciplines can help tourism scholars to deal with the complex functioning of the attitude concept when this is applied to sustainability issues. Particular attention has been paid to the theoretical and methodological distinctions between the different types of attitudes as they relate to sustainability. Suggestions for improving the effective use of attitudes in sustainability related tourism studies are made together with a discussion of the possible research avenues directed to consolidate as well as to broaden the theoretical foundations of the use of the attitude concept in this field.

The popular press has recently reported that managers of retail and service outlets are diffusing scents into their stores to create more positive environments and develop a competitive advantage. These efforts are occurring despite there being no scholarly research supporting the use of scent in store environments. The authors present a review of theoretically relevant work from environmental psychology and olfaction research and a study examining the effects of ambient scent in a simulated retail environment. In the reported study, the authors find a difference between evaluations of and behaviors in a scented store environment and those in an unscented store environment. Their findings provide guidelines for managers of retail and service outlets concerning the benefits of scenting store environments.

In this second paleoanthropology chapter, the focus shifts to later human evolution with members of the genus Homo. Over the evolution of our genus, morphology and behaviors emerge that are more similar to our own. In reconstructing the insect portion of the diet for these hominins, present-day foragers provide a better-fit model than nonhuman primates. The genus Homo was the first to colonize outside of Africa, and as humans began to occupy the far reaches of the world, environmental conditions were less suitable for insect eating in some regions over others. Outside of the tropics, the predictability and reliability of insects as a food source is greatly reduced, so the absence of insect eating in these regions today may have a deep history.

Human Factors Professionals traditionally have been dedicated to making the interaction between people and their physical environment better suited to human needs and desires. Human factors technology is beginning to be applied to organizational design and management areas (i.e. the person to person, person to group interaction environment). The human factors profession can also be expected to benefit as we learn to apply human factors technological capabilities to improving our own contributions and interaction with management and/or customers. Specifically we need to learn to MARKET our work (show the value of human factors contributions) in terms that our management and/or customers will desire our continued support and direction.

Language is the important aspect in society. Language and literature are closely related because literature used language as the medium to express their feelings. Rahman in his journal article stated that “Literature as an identity is referred to as ethno-literature.” (Rahman, 2020). In another title, Rahman defined literature as the source of learning “Literature is a source of learning and entertainment for readers.” (Fathu Rahman, Amir P., &amp; Tammasse, 2019). Human needs language to communicate each other, this is related with Rahman that explained about the using of language among human beings, he stated that “Humans and their environment are two things that are inseparable from one another. Humans interact with components of the physical environment, both biotic (animals and plants) as well as with abiotic components (soil, water, rocks and others).” (Rahman, 2019). There is also the impact of communication. People can invite others to put attention to save the nature. Sahib is his journal article stated that “The desire and effort to improve forestry has not shown a delightful or wonderful result.” (Sahib, Rahman, Duli, &amp; Asba, 2019).
