Download or read book Urban cognition written by Tommy Gärling and published by Academic Pr. This book was released on 1995-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, the Journal of Environmental Psychology has demonstrated its pre-eminence through publishing original, innovative papers. By bringing them together in one volume, ready access has been provided to the first-hand accounts of a range of explorations that are central to the growth and development of environmental psychology itself. This volume brings together the major papers published in the journal that cover studies of the nature, acquisition and use of cognitive representations of urban environments. Most of the researchers represented in this volume will be well known to environmental psychologists for their prolific contributions to the field, and therefore this book also provides a valuable cross-section of the work of key researchers in environmental psychology. The book will be of value beyond the realms of urban cognition: it provides an opportunity to examine a range of studies that explore the psychological processes whereby people summarize and distil a rich mixture of experiences, recording them in a form that allows for future utilization. As such, the volume will be of value not only to environmental psychologists but to all those who are interested in how people make sense of the world around them.

Download or read book Perceiving Environmental Risks written by Timothy O'Riordan and published by . This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, the Journal of Environmental Psychology has demonstrated its pre-eminence through publishing original, innovative papers. By bringing them together in one volume, ready access has been provided to the first-hand accounts of a range of explorations that are central to the growth and development of environmental psychology itself. In his helpful opening chapter to the present volume, the editor, Timothy O'Riordan, discusses the variety of perspectives that have to be taken into account when studying the perception and management of risk, thereby indicating the multidisciplinary perspective that needs to be embraced if risks are to be effectively managed. Many psychologists are uncomfortable in such a sea of viewpoints, and this is probably one reason why there have been so few of them to tackle these important topics. The dearth of research serves to enhance the significance of the studies that have been published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology. By bringing them together in one volume therefore provides direct and convenient access to the original studies that are laying the basis for a growing area of significant research. Perhaps paradoxically for issues of such current topicality, the areas of psychological study that are opened up by the consideration of papers in the present volume are also central to many questions asked in the heartland of academic psychology; the most appropriate ways to categorize cognitions, the impact of context on perception, ways of summarizing and resolving differing conceptual systems. The present volume will thus be of value to cognitive and social psychologists who wish to inject major real world issues into what might otherwise be arid debates.
Download or read book Environmental Psychology written by Tony Cassidy and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text contains an up-to-date survey of theory, research and practice in environmental psychology, drawing on international literature. It adopts the perspective that physical and social factors are inextricably linked in their influence on human behaviour and experience and that the world in which we live is changed and often damaged by human action.; Throughout the text, the issues which are important in contemporary psychology, such as levels of explanation, methodological diversity and the relationship between psychology and other disciplines, are brought to the fore. The text covers established areas of environmental concern and also brings together research on rarely covered topics, such as the effects of smell, colour and light, and the way in which physical environments influence social identity.
