People's willingness to engage in sustainable behavior is significantly shaped by the social groups they belong to and the social identities tied to those groups. The module covers different social and community psychological theories and empirical findings on inter- and intragroup processes relevant to the sustainable transformation of societies. Based on this knowledge, students will develop an intervention concept aimed at transforming the social identity associated with a specific group or community (e.g., a school, a county) into a sustainable one.
