I hope you are all enjoying a pleasant summer, either in Canada or elsewhere in the world. This issue includes some interesting articles, both from our new section Chair, Dr. Luc Pelletier, and from members who have attended conferences in recent months. I hope you will find it useful and thought provoking.  \nContributions to future editions are most welcome, and can be sent to me at the email address above, or to: Kate Charles, National Research Council of Canada, Institute for Research in Construction, Building M-24, 1200 Montreal Road, Ottawa, ON, K1A 0R6 .  \ntel: 613-991-0939 / fax: 613-954-3733  \nMessage from the Section Chair: Why are we doing things for the environment (al section)?  \nLuc G. Pelletier, PhD., School of Psychology, University [of Ottawa](of Ottawa social@uottawa.ca)[ ](of Ottawa social@uottawa.ca)[social@uottawa.ca](of Ottawa social@uottawa.ca)  \nI would like to use this first newsletter article to introduce myself and to present my vision of environmental psychology. I am a professor in social psychology at the School of Psychology, University of Ottawa, since 1989. I received my Ph.D. from the  \nUniversité du Québec à Montréal. My interests and major research endeavours are in the areas of human motivation and self-regulation. I have studied motivation in a variety of settings, including the motivation for pro-environmental behaviours. My understanding of environmental psychology could probably be best described on a continuum that ranges from the study of the impact of the spatial-physical environment on human behaviour to the influence of human behaviour on the natural environment, and sustainable development. The environmental psychology that emerged in the 1950s and the 1960s is mainly concerned by the physical features of the environment where human behaviour takes place. My understanding of the main goal ofthat research is to better understand the relationships between the physical environment and human behaviour. One interesting aspect of that approach is that human behaviour is mainly conceived as a consequence of a built (from an architectural, technological, or engineering point of view) physical environment. At the other end of the environmental psychology continuum, the influence of human behaviour on the natural environment and the consequences for a sustainable development perspective emerged in 1970s and the 1980s as a result of more and more pressing social problems. One interesting characteristic of the sustainable development perspective is that when we consider the natural environment, human behaviour is usually conceived as a cause of the physical environment. It would probably  \ncome as no surprise that when we consider our membership, both ends of the continuum are well represented in our section.  \nYou may probably be asking yourself, where do I fall on this continuum? Clearly, my interests have been at the“sustainable development” end of the continuum. Over the last 10 years I have asked the question “Why are you doing things for the environment?” to thousands of people as a way of identifying different forms of (selfdetermined and non self-determined) reg","cbCaiu8FEfUp2nTi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu8FEfUp2nTi","pdf",45363,"English","# Message from the Editor\n## Message from the Section Chair: Why are we doing things for the environment (al section)?","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Canadian Psychological Association’s Section on Environmental Psychology?\",\"answer\":\"Members conduct research and advance theory to understand and improve interactions between human behaviour and both physical built and natural environments.\"},{\"question\":\"What topics do section members work on?\",\"answer\":\"Research interests include scarce natural resources, effects of extreme environments on personality and behaviour, territoriality and personal space, and behavioural and mood effects of lighting and noise.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the section chair frame environmental psychology in the newsletter?\",\"answer\":\"The chair describes environmental psychology along a continuum, from studying how spatial-physical environments shape behaviour to examining how behaviour influences the natural environment and sustainable development.\"}]","Canadian Psychological Association Environmental Psychology Newsletter - Spring/Summer 2003 | PDF",1789965138,18]
