个人的行动被认为是减少能源需求和使人们转向可持续能源的关键。环境心理学中的许多工作都建立在社会认知范式的基础上，试图解释解释和决定个人行为的驱动力，力量和过程。尽管这方面的工作量很大，但促进有利于环境的行为并没有在节能行为方面实现广泛的转变。最近，在亲环境研究领域工作的研究人员已经开始在他们的工作中利用叙事作为一个框架，将个人（重新）融入他们的历史，社会和文化背景。然而，这项工作，当应用到节能，仍然处于起步阶段。本文增加了越来越多的文献，越来越多地主张叙事在亲环境心理学研究领域的关键作用。本文阐述了叙事转向的基础，从文学理论的发展到社会科学的采用，特别是心理学理论。本文回顾了从叙事的角度对复杂现象提供丰富见解的方式，以及重新概念化能源研究前进方向的潜在方法。
The actions of individuals are recognised as crucial in reducing energy demand and shifting people towards sustainable energy sources. Much of the work that has occurred within environmental psychology has been built upon a social cognitive paradigm, which attempts to explain the drives, forces and processes that explain and determine individual behaviour. Despite the volume of this work, the promotion of pro-environmental behaviour has not achieved broad transformations in energy conservation behaviours. Recently, researchers working in the field of pro-environmental research have started to draw on narrative in their work as a framework to ( re) integrate individuals into their historical, social and cultural settings. However, this work, when applied to energy conservation, remains in its infancy. This paper adds to the growing literature that is increasingly asserting the key role for narrative in the field of pro-environmental psychology research. The paper articulates the foundations of the narrative turn from its development within literary theory to its adoption by the social sciences, with particular reference to psychological theory. This paper provides a review of the ways in which taking a narrative perspective can offer rich insights into complex phenomena, as well as potential ways to reconceptualise ways forward for energy research.
