Introduction to the special issue on positive and environmental psychology

© 2015 Fundacion Infancia y Aprendizaje. This special issue of Psyecology examines the interface between environmental psychology and positive psychology, by studying the way in which psychological positivity is attained through exposure to certain environmental conditions. It also investigates how psychological positivity is capable of stimulating care and conservation of the socio-physical environment. The papers included in this issue look at theoretical models of environmental positivity in the family, the positive effects of contact with nature on children, the relationship between psychological wellbeing and a frugal use of natural resources, the positive communication of issues related with global climate change, the factors of psychological positivity contained in a positive job environment, and the effects of preference for trees on human wellbeing. The contents reflect relationships of interdependency between environmental and psychological positivity, which become a hugely interesting research issue for studies in human behaviour.
