This document discusses how psychosocial factors like attachment patterns and life transitions can influence individual participation in social practices. It presents findings from interviews with participants in the Energy Biographies project. One interview subject, Lucy, discussed how hosting friends and family from London involved practices like using a wood burner and patio heater. While aware these practices are environmentally unfriendly, she finds internal rewards in how they facilitate outdoor socializing and confirm her identity, showing how attachment and identity needs can compel ongoing engagement in problematic practices. The document examines how narrative interviews can reveal these "evasive" psychosocial dimensions underlying energy-related practices.
