| Summary: | The present volume grew out of a realization on the part of the American Psychological Association as well as the editors that psychology had a substantial contribution to make to a better understanding of our present-day environmental problems and to a more effective approach in dealing with them. This book presents papers on environmental concerns, effects, and man-environment interactions. The chapters have been divided into three parts: studies of general environmental conditions; studies of special environmental settings (institutional, residential, and recreational settings); and studies of environmental decision making (including environmental attitudes and attitude formation). The chapters in this volume represent not only investigations by psychologists, but also investigations and explorations by professionals from architecture, ecology, ethology, geography, natural resource management, planning, psychiatry, and sociology.
