Learning Goals
This course intends to understand the person-environment transactions, both for natural and build environment, based on the theoretical framework of social psychology. The objectives are:
- To promote the understanding of the socio-cognitive processes that underlie how, on the one hand, people influence the environment (natural and built) and, on the other hand, how they are influenced by certain characteristics of this.
- Promote the competence of analysis, intervention and application of theories and concepts to the understanding and resolution of socio-environmental problems.
- To enable future psychologists to participate and to include a level of psychological explanation in the work of multidisciplinary teams aimed at environmental studies.
