Abstract
Environment
2
The purpose of this literature review is to introduce the reader to the
emerging field of environmental psychology. The first section deals
with problems and challenges of theory and methodology in environmental
psychology, and is followed by samples of research in the areas of vi
sual perception, noise, and spatial perception. Finally, two areas,
women and the environment and residential patisf action, selected by the
author as important topics for further investigation, are described
briefly. It is conlcuded that since environril.ental psychology appears
to be growing as a field, it is crucial that clear communication be
established between environmental designers and those individuals they
serve.
