A class of two streams
• Research methods only – 64 and growing• Research methods plus Research Practicum –
14 students • 10.00 to 11.30 an interactive lecture relevant
to both groups• 12.30 – 2.30 RM only - practical tasks in class
around getting the assignments done/• RM+RP Small group tutorials by arrangement

Some tricky and not-so-tricky issuesNo attendance requirement. Need to be
respectful of others in the class and the teacher, being intentional about your attendance
What happens to the practicum students when we are attending to the large in-class project?
Tutorial support availableForming practicum groups

Issues in Resource Depletion?• Population growth projections• Per capita use of resources• Peak Oil • Carbon or Ecological Footprint• Effects of Climate Change• Environmental degradation and loss of
biodiversity• The evolutionary psychology of change• The politics of change – cultural evolution• The pragmatics of individual change
![Page 6: Research Methods Resource depletion. A class of two streams Research methods only – 64 and growing Research methods plus Research Practicum – 14 students](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020417/56649e715503460f94b6f172/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The problem of doubling
• Put a small piece of paper (one 32th of an A4 page) on the desk, double it for the second , double for the third and so on. How high would the stack of pages be on the 56th student’s desk?
• If we have 7% growth how long is before we double our use of resources? How long before we have 1000 fold increase in the use of our resources

Ecological Footprint• The biocapacity of the Earth =11.2 billion
hectares on a sustainable basis • =1.8 global hectares per person – nothing for
non-humans • In 2001 we used 13.7 billion global hectares,
or 2.2 global hectares per person. • Our Footprint exceeds our biocapacity by 0.4
global hectares per person. • The planet’s living stocks are being depleted
faster than nature can regenerate them

Death to biodiversity = death to Humanity
“We are hearing a great deal about the economic ‘credit crunch’. What we face also in the natural world
is a ‘credit crunch for biodiversity’.
We need to set – and then reach - new ambitious targets to value and conserve the fundamental riches
of our life support systems, and the wildlife and people that depend on them”.Julia Marton- Director IUCN

Evolution of change
• Human behaviour is adapted well to responding to short and medium term threats, but not to long term threats.
• We know about the mechanisms of biological evolution, but very little about cultural evolution G:\Ehrlich_ We Must Change Behavior to Save Global Culture.wmv
• We need to understand the psychology (the effects of incentives) and sociology (e.g. social norming) of behaviour change
![Page 26: Research Methods Resource depletion. A class of two streams Research methods only – 64 and growing Research methods plus Research Practicum – 14 students](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020417/56649e715503460f94b6f172/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Possible mechanisms of change?the ways in which different types of consumer feedback and
information affect sustainability behaviourthe effect of non-economic incentives and disincentives; the impact of social marketing campaigns; G:\How To Reduce Your Carbon Footprint.wmv
the importance of social networks and social movements in shaping sustainability behaviour uptake
the effect of group contingencies and behavioural modelling on individual behaviour;
the significance of commitment to behavioural change; the importance of the social and political context in shaping
individual attitudes and behaviour; the relationship between social status, values and
sustainability behaviour and socio-cultural patterns of sustainability behaviour.

Topics and TitlesResource Depletion (RD) group – in small groupsCreate a title for a research
project that looks at • what resources are available
for the future?• what resources do we as
individuals use (what is our Carbon Footprint)? and
• what meaning do we make of the information about the above?
Create a list of things you might have to explore for this project
Practicum (P) groupsIn groups discuss what topics
of research interest you.Create possible titles Create a list of things you
might have to explore for this project
![Page 36: Research Methods Resource depletion. A class of two streams Research methods only – 64 and growing Research methods plus Research Practicum – 14 students](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020417/56649e715503460f94b6f172/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What is a literature review?It defines the words in the title of your research projectIt describes the groups/populations that are most
affected by the events and theories under examination
It gives a sufficient background and/or a history of the topic so that the context of the research can be understood
It analyses the underlying ideas and theories that are suggested by the title
It analyses evidence from other research that supports or denies key theories related to the topic

Your orientationWhat is your response to the
idea that the resources for much of human life will run out?
What is your response to the idea that you as an individual might be using much more than your fair share of resources?
What meanings can you draw from reflecting on the way that you position yourselves in relation to the first two questions?
What is your orientation towards your research topic?
• Direct experience in this area as a person as professional, as an activist
• Beliefs and prejudices about topic or related issues
• Research outcomes you would like
