| Summary: | Covering the full spectrum of methodology, the timely and indispensible Research Methods for Environmental surveys the research and application methods for studying, changing, and improving human attitudes, behaviour and well-being in relation to the physical environment. -- The first new book covering research methods in environmental psychology in over 25 years. Brings the subject completely up-to-date with coverage of the latest methodology in the field -- The level of public concern over the impact of the environment on humans is high, making this book timely and of real interest to a fast growing discipline -- Comprehensively surveys the research and application methods for studying, changing, and improving human attitudes, behavior, and well-being in relation to the physical environment -- Robert Gifford is internationally recognised as one of the leading individuals in this field, and the contributors include many of the major leaders in the discipline “The chapters in this volume offer a broad-gauged, in-depth overview of diverse research methods for studying and improving people’s relationships with their everyday surroundings. This book will be an invaluable resource for scholars and practitioners working in the interdisciplinary fields of environmental psychology, urban planning, and environmental design research.”Daniel Stokols, Ph.D., Chancellor’s Professor Emeritus, School of Social Ecology, University of California, Irvine, USA -- “A highly accessible and long overdue book which sets the methods in context by starting with the problems environmental psychologists are trying to solve; it reflects what we tell our students to do – start with the problem and then explore the most appropriate methodology, not vice versa. An interesting choice of research methods have been selected that go beyond the normal suspects.”David Uzzell, Professor of Environmental Psychology, University of Surrey, UK -- “This is not only a volume on research methods, but an invaluable book showing the incredible richness and potential of the still growing field of environmental psychology.”Mirilia Bonnes, Professor of Social and Environmental Psychology, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy -- “As economic and global climate changes press human health and the human spirit, insights about how to study the role of the physical environment in human behavior are more critical than ever. This volume provides up-to-date overviews of mul-tiple methodological approaches to studying human–environment relations. The collective wisdom and experiences of the chapter authors reflect well on environmental psychology. Professionals, scholars, and advanced students interested in people and the environment will repeatedly rely on this volume.”Gary W. Evans, Elizabeth Lee Vincent Professor of Human Ecology, Cornell University, USA |
