Research Methods for Environmental Psychology is the first new book covering research methods in environmental psychology in over 25 years, bringing the subject completely up-to-date with coverage of the latest methodology. Environmental psychology is an applied field, whose practitioners are interested both in assessment and in application; these dual interests are covered thoroughly in this timely book which comprehensively surveys the research and application methods for studying, changing, and improving human attitudes, behavior, and well-being in relation to the physical environment.
Under the expert guidance of Robert Gifford, a range of leading contributors provide chapters on the full spectrum of methods in the field, from those for fundamental processes such as spatial cognition and environmental perception to those for environmental psychological approaches to planning; designing and evaluating built environments; experimental design for environmental psychology; qualitative methods for understanding perceptions of the environment; action research; simulations of buildings and resource management dilemmas; surveys and questionnaires for environment and behaviour, and intervention techniques and advanced statistical techniques.
Gathering together all the important approaches to investigating and improving the connection between people and their physical world, the text is an invaluable guide for those studying and working in the field.Research Methods for Environmental Psychology is the first new book covering research methods in environmental psychology in over 25 years, bringing the subject completely up-to-date with coverage of the latest methodology.
