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.
总体目标是阐明户外场所和天气评估中涉及的心理机制。这一推理在一个模型中得以概念化,该模型初步提出了户外场所与人类关系中直接和间接的影响联系。该模型随后通过一项实证研究进行了测试,该研究在一个北欧城市开展,考察天气和个人因素对参与者对户外城市场所的感知和情感评估的影响。与我们的预测一致,我们报告了天气参数(气温、风速和无云状况)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评估有显著影响。所有这些都是朝着理解户外场所和天气评估心理学迈出的适度但重要的一步。
