Human Behavior and Environment
The Confluence of Environmental and Developmental Psychology
This note draws attention to interesting signs of a convergence between environmental psychology – a relative newcomer on the psychological scene concerned with relationships between the physical environment and behavior – and developmental psychology. Such problem areas as privacy and crowding, effects of noise, and formation of mental maps and representation of the spatial world, are emerging as foci for joint attack by environmental and develo…
The Concept of Experience
The term ‘experience’ has been used by develop mental psychologists to refer both to effects of environmental stimulation and to opportunity for the acquisition of a particular behavior. This paper contrasts these differing conceptions of the role of experience and their consequences for various issues in this field. The two types of experiental effects are further expanded by considering the role of control, through selection and exploratory beh…
Martha Muchow, 1892–1933
This symposium is devoted to the German child psychologist Martha Muchow, a student and associate of WilliamStern and Heinz Werner at the University of Hamburg from 1919 until her premature death in 1933. Her work, in particular her monograph on The lifespaceofthe urban child, deserves the attention of contemporary developmental and environmental psychologists for its imaginative and effective integration of developmental and ecological approache…
German psychological journals under national socialism
Five major German psychological journals are examined to determine the changes they manifested upon the advent of National Socialism, and the manner in which they responded to the challenges posed by the new regime's ideology and policies. Two of the journals remained largely unchanged in their content, scientific orientation, and overall tone, revealing predominantly minor forms of accommodation. Two other journals showed a pronounced change in …
Response to congruity or contrast for man‐made features in natural‐recreation settings
This study dealt with people's responses to scenes featuring man‐made structures in natural settings. A set of 48 slides taken in various urban and state parks in the Northeast was selected and scaled by a set of judges with respect to the contrast or fittingness between the man‐made and the natural elements of the scene. The slides were then presented to a group of undergraduate students, who rated them on various evaluative semantic‐differentia…

A Comparative Study of User Attitudes Towards Development and Facilities in Two Contrasting Natural Recreation Areas
Two natural-recreation areas in the state of Pennsylvania that differ in the amount of development that each has undergone, the Pine Creek and the Poconos areas, were the subject of comparative study of users of these areas. The research was designed to explore the hypothesis that attitudes towards development, and towards the provision of facilities and amenities, will be more favorable among users of the more highly developed area. Two studies …

An Experimental Study of the Role of Expectation and Variation in Music
PSYCHOLOGISTS, MUSICIANS, AND LAYMAN are agreed that music is often a powerful source of affect.1 Yet we know relatively little about the basis for this power of music to arouse emotion in the listener. Studies have attempted to show that music is capable of inducing a mood effect, or that there are affective qualities in music which can be identified by listeners; they have also correlated certain musical attributes, such as the minor mode, with…
