U.S.-Western Europe Regional Seminar on Environmental Cognition and Assessment, Umea, Sweden, June 1988

该奖项将资助9名受邀的美国科学家与来自意大利、瑞典、荷兰和英国的科学家参加关于环境认知和评估的联合研讨会的旅费。这次研讨会由加州大学欧文分校的加里·W·埃文斯博士和瑞典乌梅阿大学的汤米·加林博士组织，将于1988年6月29日至7月2日在乌梅阿举行。研讨会的目的是促进对人类如何理解和评估他们的物理环境的理解。研讨会的三个主要主题领域是：(1)物理环境的各个方面如何影响对环境的印象、信念和决策，并与之相互作用；(2)各种心理过程模型如何适应对环境的感知和认知；以及(3)人们如何随着经验和衰老而改变对环境的感知和认知。研讨会还将研究人们对环境的目标和目的如何影响他们对环境的判断。研讨会将为交流思想提供一个有用的论坛，并很可能导致美国和外国科学家之间更多的合作研究。参与者是杰出的研究人员，之所以被选中，是因为他们代表了环境心理学中使用不同模型和方法的不同领域。除了解决科学问题外，研讨会还将带来与人类环境的决策、规划和设计相关的知识。组织者计划根据研讨会论文出版一本书。

This award will support the travel costs for 9 invited American scientists to attend a joint seminar on environmental cognition and assessment with scientists from Italy, Sweden, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The seminar, organized by Dr. Gary W. Evans, University of California, Irvine, and Dr. Tommy Garling, University of Umea, Sweden, will be held in Umea from June 29 to July 2, 1988. The purpose of the seminar is to advance understanding of how humans comprehend and evaluate their physical environments. Three major topic areas of the seminar will be: (1) how aspects of the physical environment affect and interact with impressions, beliefs, and decisions about the environment, (2) how various models of psychological processes fit perception and cognition of environments, and (3) how people change their perceptions and cognitions of the environment in response to experience and aging. The seminar will also examine how people's goals and objectives for an environment affect their judgments about it. The seminar will provide a useful forum for interchanging ideas and will most likely lead to additional collaborative research between the American and foreign scientists. The participants are outstanding researchers who were chosen because they represent diverse areas in environmental psychology that use different models and approaches. Besides resolving scientific issues, the seminar will lead to knowledge with relevance to policy-making, planning, and design of human environments. The organizers plan to publish a book based on the seminar papers.
