总的目的是阐明参与户外场所和天气评估的心理机制。这种推理在一个模型中被概念化，尝试性地提出了户外场所与人之间关系的直接和间接影响。该模型随后进行了测试的实证研究，在北欧城市进行，对参与者的感知和情感的估计户外城市场所的天气和个人因素的影响。根据我们的预测，我们报告了天气参数（气温，风和无云）和个人因素（环境态度和年龄）对参与者对户外城市场所的感知和情感估计的显着影响。所有这一切都是一个温和的，但重要的，朝着理解户外场所和天气评估的心理学迈出了一步。
The general aim has been to illuminate the psychological mechanisms involved in outdoor place and weather assessment. This reasoning was conceptualized in a model, tentatively proposing direct and indirect links of influence in an outdoor place-human relationship. The model was subsequently tested by an empirical study, performed in a Nordic city, on the impact of weather and personal factors on participants' perceptual and emotional estimations of outdoor urban places. In line with our predictions, we report significant influences of weather parameters (air temperature, wind, and cloudlessness) and personal factors (environmental attitude and age) on participants' perceptual and emotional estimations of outdoor urban places. All this is a modest, yet significant, step towards an understanding of the psychology of outdoor place and weather assessment.
