Abstract

This study explores social-psychological barriers that may affect resilience in the context of sustainability. These barriers can be understood as unobserved processes that reduce the capacity of a social-ecological system to recover after a perturbation or transformation. Analyzing social-psychological processes enables us to distinguish passive and active processes, at the individual and collective levels. Our work suggests that interacting social and psychological processes should be considered as dynamically evolving determinants of resilience, especially when perturbations can change the psychology of individuals, and thus the underlying dynamics of social-ecological systems. Hence, considering social-psychological barriers and the conditions under which they emerge may provide decision makers with useful insights for coping with ineluctable uncertainties that reduce systems’ transformative capacity and thus their general resilience.

The post Emergence of social-psychological barriers to social-ecological resilience: from causes to solutions first appeared on Ecology & Society.

社会-生态复原力的社会-心理障碍的出现：从原因到解决方案

本研究探讨了在可持续性背景下可能影响复原力的社会心理障碍。这些障碍可以被理解为一些未被察觉的过程，这些过程降低了社会生态系统在受到扰动或转变之后的恢复能力。通过分析社会心理过程，我们可以区分个人和集体层面的被动和主动过程。我们的工作表明，相互影响的社会和心理过程应被视为复原力的动态发展决定因素，尤其是当扰动会改变个人心理，进而改变社会生态系统的基本动态时。因此，考虑社会心理障碍及其出现的条件可为决策者提供有用的见解，以应对不可避免的不确定性，这些不确定性会降低系统的变革能力，从而降低其总体复原力。

期刊介绍： Ecology and Society is an electronic, peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary journal devoted to the rapid dissemination of current research. Manuscript submission, peer review, and publication are all handled on the Internet. Software developed for the journal automates all clerical steps during peer review, facilitates a double-blind peer review process, and allows authors and editors to follow the progress of peer review on the Internet. As articles are accepted, they are published in an "Issue in Progress." At four month intervals the Issue-in-Progress is declared a New Issue, and subscribers receive the Table of Contents of the issue via email. Our turn-around time (submission to publication) averages around 350 days. We encourage publication of special features. Special features are comprised of a set of manuscripts that address a single theme, and include an introductory and summary manuscript. The individual contributions are published in regular issues, and the special feature manuscripts are linked through a table of contents and announced on the journal''s main page. The journal seeks papers that are novel, integrative and written in a way that is accessible to a wide audience that includes an array of disciplines from the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities concerned with the relationship between society and the life-supporting ecosystems on which human wellbeing ultimately depends.
