The sustainability of human life on Earth in the future is in danger. The primary cause of all environmental problems is human behavior. These problems are not really problems of the environment, but are the result of a mismatch between the ways in which human beings fulfill their needs and the natural processes that maintain ecological integrity. As experts on human behavior, psychologists have the potential to serve a crucial role in halting our ecologically-destructive trajectory and promoting a sustainable future. This course will examine the connections between human behavior and its impact on the environment. It will address the need to promote environmentally responsible behaviors by applying cognitive and social theories to behaviors such as energy conservation, recycling, and material consumption.

This course investigates the psychological roots of good and evil. Since the late 1960s, psychologists have studied the causes of moral, altruistic, and empathic behavior. They have examined also the dark side of human nature. Why do evil and suffering exist in the world? What are the psychological and social dynamics of how good people can turn evil? This course emphasizes a social-psychological perspective that centers on the complex interaction of personal and situational factors underpinning both good and evil behavior. That is, the conditions under which people are kind and helpful to others or, conversely, under which they commit harmful and even violent acts. The course explores various formulations of good and evil and the different answers given to it. Examination of key theories, concepts, and findings from research in social psychology as well as drawing on examples from history are the goals of this course. The lectures detail how both personal and situational forces can work in concert to transform human character for the better or worse.
