Systematic map of conservation psychology

Abstract: Conservation science and practice commonly draw on the theories and methods of social psychology to explain human cognitions, emotions, and behaviors germane to biodiversity conservation. Here, we present a systematic map of the cross-disciplinary conservation science literature that draws on social psychology concepts and methods in their application broadly described as conservation psychology. Established protocols were used to systematically collect and collate peer-reviewed research published in an expl… Show more

“…Over the past 20 years, the social science discipline of conservation psychology has gained traction in research and influence on environmental policies (Clayton & Meyers 2015;Selinske et al 2018); however, there are still gaps in knowledge of how the psychosocial factors that influence human behavior should be conceptualized and measured (Kenter et al 2019). There is also a disproportionate focus in previous research on the role of attitudes for predicting behavior (Nilsson et al 2019;Wallen & Landon 2020), rather than more fundamental factors such as human values, defined as guiding principles in life that transcend situations (Schwartz 1994;Manfredo et al 2017). As the motivational basis for human decision-making (Dietsch et al 2016), values diversify knowledge of predictors of behavior (van Riper et al 2019) and provide insight on psychologically stable factors that are unlikely to change over a lifetime; thus, they have the potential to support the long-term success of conservation initiatives (Ives & Fischer 2017).…”
