Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This seminar is designed to provide an overview about current topics in Environmental Psychology (see our group's web-page for an overview of topics and projects: https://env-psy.univie.ac.at/)

Assessment and permitted materials

There are two elements and students can select topics of interest. Element 1: They will be expected to design a session to introduce the current state of research for their topic, combining presentation and interactive elements, under guidance from the seminar lead.
Element 2: Essay.

Additional detail (9/9/21):
For the *presentation*, students are asked to prepare a session of 30 minutes (slides + interactive exercise). They can choose their own focus for the presentation from three aspects:
a) a specific theory relevant to environmental psychology (e.g., Construal level theory, Schwartz' value theory, Value-belief-norm theory, attention restoration theory),
b) a specific topic (e.g., plastic pollution, energy saving, sustainable mobility, intergenerational transfer, nature and well-being, climate anxiety, climate activism, Environmental Psychology in the Global South), or
c) method or technology )e.g., virtual reality, environmental neuroscience, persuasive technology.
More explanation and a list will be provided at the start of the seminar.
For the *essay*, the chosen focus will be the same as the focus of the presentation, the title being "Critically evaluate the current state of research on [focus]"
