In turn, my core psychology courses have offered me a solid background in human behaviour and cognition, which has helped me to understand the psychological barriers to climate change mitigation and adaptation. Finally, I have decided to focus my Honours Thesis on the topic of sustainability by examining\u00a0the relationship between perceptions of self and nature and pro-environmental behaviours and attitudes. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_description_type":[766],"class_list":["post-38940","cu_description","type-cu_description","status-publish","hentry","cu_description_type-mental-health"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_description\/38940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_description"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_description"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_description\/38940\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38942,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_description\/38940\/revisions\/38942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_description_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_description_type?post=38940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
