BASIC STUDY ON PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESSES AND ACTIVITIES RELATED TO ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS

Abstract

In order to bring environmental problems into solution, it is necessary to understand their attitudes toward environments and to try to bridge the gap between those differences . In this paper, we tried to make a model of the psychological processes and activities related to environmental problems using the method of social psychology. And through this model we observed the changes of the people's attitudes after learning environmental problems. The result of analysis has revealed two points as follows: (1) there are four psychological paths: knowledge- interest, interest-motive, interest-intention, motive-intention. They can thought to build people's psychological processes. (2) Learning some environmental problems had influence on some psychological aspects such as interest, and motive. In addition, we propose the model that contains the factors to bring some psychological effect.
