| Crynodeb: | A number of theories claim that similarities exist between human communities and ecosystems, and that from them we can learn how to live sustainably. Yet, at the behavioral level, the relationship between practicing sustainable behaviors and living in accordance with ecological principles has been barely studied. This paper addresses such potential relationship, based on the idea that acting in accordance with ecological principles requires the knowledge of them but also an affinity towards those principles, and behaving accordingly (i.e., acting sustainably). We call this hypothetical relation the Human Attunement with Ecological Principles (HAEP), and assume that it implies the presence of a human predisposition to knowing, valuing and applying these principles. In developing this idea, the paper reviews relevant literature, aiming to find evidence that supports the HAEP hypothesis, describing in detail every ecological principle, explaining its relationship with sustainable development and how those principles might be addressed from a psychological standpoint. |
