作者试图解决卡普兰的环境偏好偏好矩阵模型中一些悬而未决的问题。这些问题涉及易懂与偏好之间的关系，以及偏好、危险与神秘之间的关系。参与者对70个森林内环境进行了评分，这些环境没有关于偏好、危险或七个预测变量中的一个的可见路径。易读性和连贯性被发现是偏好的独立、积极的预测因素。同样，地标和视觉访问是易读性的独立正向预测因素。易读性完全中介了地标与偏好之间的正向关系。视觉通达与易读性在预测偏好上存在交互作用：偏好与其中一个预测变量之间的关系最强，当另一个预测变量的值较低时，两者之间的关系为正。偏好和危险是负相关的，而且它们各自与预测者的关系模式都有不同的趋势。神秘与偏好和视觉接触都是负相关的，这是一个不同寻常的发现。
The authors attempt to address some unresolved issues within the Kaplans' preference-matrix model of environmental preference. These issues involve the relation between legibility and preference and the relations among preference, danger, and mystery. Participants rated 70 within-forest settings containing no visible pathways for preference, danger, or one of seven predictor variables. Legibility and coherence were found to be independent, positive predictors of preference. Likewise, landmarks and visual access were independent positive predictors of legibility. Legibility fully mediated the positive relation between landmarks and preference. Visual access interacted with legibility in predicting preference: The relation between preference and either predictor was strongest and positive at low values of the other predictor. Preference and danger were negatively correlated, and there was some tendency for each of them to have a different pattern of relations with predictors. Mystery was negatively correlated with both preference and visual access, an unusual finding.
