Bridging the theoretical and applied facets of environmental psychology.

Responds to K. H. Craik's (see record 84-10224) and R. B. Bechtel's (see record 84-10187) comments on D. Stokols's (see record 1996-13229-001) suggestion that the identity of environmental psychology has become more diffuse and transparent over the past 30 yrs. The contrast between Bechtel's emphasis on the applied contributions of environmental psychology and Craik's focus on its core theoretical concerns is noted. Their divergent characterizations of the field reflect its multidisciplinary roots and the diffuseness of its intellectual borders. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
