Comment on "Psychological Research and Energy Policy."
Winett, R. A., & Geller, E. S. (1981). Comment on "Psychological research and energy policy.". American Psychologist, 36, 4, 425-426.
Comments that some points made by P. C. Stern and G. T. Gardner (see PA, Vol 67:1169) in their plea for an interdisciplinary approach and for input by psychologists into energy policy are misleading and nonconstructive. These include the deemphasis on simple but energy-efficient life-style changes and the overemphasis on the value of "one-shot" technology purchases.
