Calvin, James S.; And Others – Environment and Behavior, 1972
Investigation of ways in which man makes a psychological assessment of his environment. Concerned with variables in the environment itself, fifteen photographs of natural landscape scenes were rated on each of twenty-one semantic differential scales by college students. Two major dimensions emerged: natural scenic beauty and a natural force…

Barash, David P. – Environment and Behavior, 1977
A study of the frequency of looking both ways before crossing a street revealed that both males and females tend to look both ways more often when accompanied by juveniles than when alone, and that when males and females are together, males look both ways more often than do females. (Author/MA)

Choi, Sang Chin; And Others – Environment and Behavior, 1976
Three approaches toward a differentiation between crowding and density are examined. Two states of crowding, cognitive and cognitive-affective-physiological, are distinguished. Seven propositions on which the proposed conceptual model is based are formulated. In the model, the factors affecting crowding and the modes of adaptation are discussed,…

Barrett, Frank – Environment and Behavior, 1976
This study examines the search behavior of 380 intra-urban residential migrants, who were interviewed within four months of moving to a new location. Data on all houses searched are included, as well as the actual house selected. The results indicate residential search behavior is a minimizing process. (BT)

Delprato, Dennis J. – Environment and Behavior, 1977
Self prompting techniques were used to influence people to turn off lights in bathrooms. After consumers were given a method for self monitoring their behavior there was a significant drop in the number of times lights were left on in unoccupied bathrooms. (AJ)

Trigg, Linda J.; And Others – Environment and Behavior, 1976
This study investigated the moderating effects of perceived outcome on the relationship between activism (social action) in the form of anti-pollution behavior and locus of control (I-E). Among subjects optimistic about future levels of pollution, internally-oriented individuals engaged in more anti-pollution activities and had more accurate…

Arbuthnot, Jack – Environment and Behavior, 1977
This study explored the relationships among selected attitudinal and personality characteristics, attitudes toward environmental problems, and environmental knowledge and behavioral commitment of two diverse samples: 85 users of a recycling center and 60 conservative church members. Multiple regression analysis was utilized to determine the best…

Hall, Rob; And Others – Environment and Behavior, 1976
Multidimensional scaling configurations were obtained for the same set of 11 stimuli using data from two different judgmental tasks completed by the same group of subjects. The procedure was felt to be a way of obtaining useful information regarding environmental perception. (RH)

Samuelson, David J.; Lindauer, Martin S. – Environment and Behavior, 1976
Summarizes two studies that investigated the relationship between the effects of room environment (neat versus messy) and high and low sensation seeker's perception, evaluation, and performance. Elapsed time estimation did not vary as a function of room condition and personality. Sex differences were not found to be critical. (BT)

Robinson, Stuart N. – Environment and Behavior, 1976
This review summarizes the present state of knowledge concerning littering behavior. Available studies are categorized according to the variables that influence littering--individual and environmental. Theoretical issues of attitude-behavior consistency and incentive effectiveness are analyzed with respect to littering and litter control. Results…

Hanson, Susan; And Others – Environment and Behavior, 1979
The study examines the effect of a prior tornado disaster occurring in a community and that community's current response to a tornado threat. The study concludes that it is not past experience with tornadoes that relates to response to warnings, but rather awareness. Experience is but one source of information contributing to their awareness. (RE)
