I'd like to actually test a hypothesis through empirical research, so I think I'd push further into theoretical controversies than Sterling does here, and present findings that have punchier, more immediate and defined implications, but his thesis actualizes many of the broad research interests I've been thinking about. Anyway, I was curious what the rest of you would think about Sterling's work, does it relate at all to your own interests?

relevant? probably--i'll have a look and get back to you. in the meantime, i'll recommend Doug McKenzie-Mohr and William Smith's "Fostering Sustainable Behavior." It's about what goes into convincing people to change their practices related to the environment. A lot of psychological research is referenced, and a good deal of time is spent on methodology (i.e. focus groups + surveys, rinse and repeat), particularly methods that best help identify barriers to implementation and outline incentives to action. i'll recommend it, and also do a little thinking about how these two might go together...
