The role of critical methodologies in climate psychology scholarship: themes, gaps, and futures

The role of critical methodologies in climate psychology scholarship: themes, gaps, and futures, 2022

Climate psychology scholarship aims to assist human beings in mitigating and adapting to this problem's consequences. A brief scoping review was conducted first. The findings indicated that most of the literature was quantitative and theoretical in orientation, with only two qualitatively focused. A dearth of information exploring qualitative methodologies was found. The brief scoping review justified the need for this narrative review that explored the critical methodologies used by climate psychology scholars. The narrative review covered the period 2009-2022. Search terms included 'climate psychology' and 'climate change and psychology'. A critical transformative paradigm informed the analysis. The narrative review found that climate psychology scholars in the selected articles actively addressed social justice and represented marginalised peoples' voices through participatory action research, grounded theory, narrative theory, capabilities theory, discursive psychology, and strengthsbased approaches. Three authors presented their positionality statements. Ten articles used a qualitative approach, while three used a quantitative approach. The use of interviews and thematic analysis was dominant. Researchers demonstrated an awareness of power and its influence on the research process. The methodology could be enhanced if they provided more detail on how they addressed power as a guide for future researchers. Furthermore, it would be beneficial to explore their perceptions of how critical methodologies can be more actively incorporated into climate psychology scholarship.
