Environmental Psychology

The psychological effects of environmental factors is a key topic in applied psychology. Stress, noise, climate, personal space and urban planning are just some of the many variables that affect our everyday lives in terms of performance, social behaviour and health. Sue Cave sets out these issues in a clear and concise overview of the area that will be of particular use to A Level students and first year undergraduates.
