Environment and Behavior

Editor: Robert B. Bechtel

Published in cooperation with the Environmental Design Research Association

Manuscript Submission Guidelines:

ENVIRONMENT & BEHAVIOR is an interdisciplinary journal designed to report rigorous experimental and theoretical work focusing on the influence of the physical environment on human behavior at the individual, group, and institutional levels.

Articles are sought in the following areas:
1. Theoretical work on the interrelationships between human environments and behavioral systems. Methodological papers will be considered, provided the primary focus concerns the environment-behavior relationship.
2. Reports on research relating to evaluation of environments designed to accomplish specific objectives—e.g., the social effects of different kinds of living accommodations or the effectiveness of hospital treatment areas.
3. Studies relating to the beliefs, meanings, values, and attitudes of individuals or groups concerning various environments—e.g., the meanings and values attached to neighborhoods, cities, transport routes and devices, or recreational areas.
4. Studies concerning physical environments whose human mission is largely implicit or socially underdeveloped.
5. Studies of planning, policy, or political action aimed at controlling environments or behavior.

Manuscripts of approximately 16 typed, double-spaced pages should be submitted in triplicate (one original and two clear copies) to:
Robert Bechtel
Editor, ENVIRONMENT & BEHAVIOR
Environmental Psychology Program
University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721

Each copy should include a 100- to 150-word abstract and 4 to 5 keywords, and tables and figures should be presented on separate pages and with sufficient clarity so that they can be photographed directly (submit electronic figures and graphs in the format in which they were created; if they were created in Word, include them at the end of the manuscript document).

Manuscripts will not be returned unless return postage is enclosed. Follow the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.) for journal style. A copy of the final revised manuscript saved on an IBM-compatible disk should be included with two copies of the final revised hard copy.

Submission of a manuscript implies commitment to publish in the journal. Authors submitting manuscripts to the journal should not simultaneously submit them to another journal, nor should manuscripts have been published elsewhere in substantially similar form or with substantially similar content. Authors in doubt about what constitutes prior publication should consult the editor.
