心理学在理解环境问题和寻找解决方案方面发挥着不可或缺的作用。为了填补这一角色，心理学家必须在跨学科的努力中工作，以建立对人类与环境相互作用的科学理解。本文列举了8个关于这些相互作用的广泛持有的信念，并评估了每个信念的优势和局限性。它表明，心理学可以通过抵消学科偏见，专注于行为分析识别重大机会的研究，提出适当适度的主张，与其他学科合作，以及建立心理学在人文科学中的相对优势，做出更大的贡献。
Psychology has an indispensable role in understanding environmental problems and finding solutions. To fill this role, psychologists must work within an interdisciplinary effort to build a scientific understanding of human-environment interactions. This article enumerates 8 widely held beliefs about these interactions and assesses the strengths and limitations of each belief. It suggests that psychology can contribute more strongly by counteracting disciplinary biases, focusing research where a behavioral analysis identifies major opportunities, making appropriately modest claims, collaborating with other disciplines, and building on psychology's relative strengths among the human sciences.
