Theoretical Perspectives in Environment-Behavior Research: Underlying Assumptions, Research Problems, and Methodologies
Cross‐cultural differences in processes underlying sequential cognitive activity
Similarities and differences in the processes underlying performance on the Stroop Color‐Word Test (Card A, 100 color words/black ink; Card B, 100 color patches; Card C, 100 color words/incongruous ink color) were investigated with Japanese ( N = 96) and Americans ( N = 96) with stimulus items read: (a) vertically, top to bottom; and (b) horizontally, left to right. Total time as well as errors, namely, those involved with the underlying processe…

Cultural Differences in Impact of Governmental Legislation: Automobile Safety Belt Use
Cultural differences in automobile safety belt use were investigated prior to and following the initiation of mandatory safety belt legislation in two independent studies, one in Massachusetts (United States) and the second in Hiroshima (Japan). Comparison of the pattern of findings in these studies indicated cultural differences over time. In both sociocultural contexts, there was an increase in drivers' use of safety belts on the highway and in…
Role of psychological science in promoting environmental quality: Introduction
Joachim Friedrich Wohlwill (1928–1987)
Prior interracial experience and Black student transition into predominantly White colleges
Preference for lateral directional properties: A reply to Gordon
Gordon's (1981) methodological criticisms of our study on the influence of directional properties of lateral organization on evaluation of paintings are addressed. We conclude that our study ‐ which reconceptualized the problem by focusing on directional properties and differences in process dependent on exposure time ‐ used adequate controls and methodology that produced findings (evaluations were influenced by left‐right sequential organization…
Human Behavior and Environment: Advances in Theory and Research
The influence of lateral organization on the evaluation of paintings
This study examines influence of directional properties of lateral organization on evaluation of paintings. Lateral organization, as defined here, has two dimensions: (1) left or right location of principal figure; and (2) left-to-right or right-to-left sequence of figures represented by direction of suggested movement, action, or lines. That previous studies have failed to demonstrate consistently a relationship between evaluations and direction…
Developmental level, emotional involvement, and the resolution of inconsistency in impression formation
Effect of eye contact and physiognomy on perceived location of other person
Apparent Speed of Walking under Conditions of Danger
Relation Between Perceptual and Conceptual Operations: Numerical Distance and Visual Extent
This study deals with the problem of interaction of conceptual (number) and perceptual (extent) processes. The general hypothesis was tested that if an extent is demarcated by two numbers (from 1 to 9), the perception of extent varies depending on the numerical interval used. It was found that a visual extent demarcated by a smaller numerical interval appeared equal to a visual extent demarcated by a greater numerical interval when the former ext…
Age differences in performance on the Stroop Color-Word test1
Sex differences in the perception of apparent verticality and apparent body position under conditions of body tilt1
Effect of Visual Spatial Context on Perception of One's Own Body
Three experiments, dealing with the effect of extension of surrounding visual spatial context on apparent size of body parts, were conducted. In the first two studies (forty‐eight subjects in each) the dependent variable was arm length, and in the third study (twenty‐four subjects) the dependent variable was head width. It was found that apparent arm length and apparent head width are relatively larger in an ‘open‐extended’ visual spatial context…
