Environment and Behavior
Comprehensive Analyses - Six Times a Year!
Environment & Behavior brings you international and interdisciplinary perspectives on the relationships between environments and human behavior. Both population growth and threats to environmental sustainability make the understanding of environment-behavior relationships increasingly critical to human well-being. Explore topics such as:
- Natural environments and psychological restorativeness
- Pro-environmental behavior and behavior change
- Social and psychological processes related to environments of particular settings such as neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, and extreme environments
- Environmental perception and cognition, such as wayfinding and risk perception
- Environmental feelings, attachment, and identity
- Attitudes, values, priming, and norms that relate to environmental behavior
- Effects of ambient conditions such as noise
- Societal-level predictors of sustainability policies and designs
- Environmental problems such as fear, stress, and crowding
- Effects of innovative designs on human behavior
- Environments and physical health, from hospitals to walkable neighborhoods and parks
- Environment & behavior relations for particular groups such as children or elderly people
- Spatial behavior processes and methods of study
