✦ Synopsis

This book offers a unique perspective of the impact of environmental stress on human behaviour and health. The authors draw on insights gained in conducting the Los Angeles Noise Project -a series of studies of the effects of aircraft noise on children -and from experiences as active scientists in environmental, health and social psychology. They provide state-of-the-art reviews and theoretical insights into the stress and coping process. Chapters cover: (1) stress processes and the costs of coping, (2) field methodologies in the study of stress (3) environmental stress and personal control (4) environmental stress and health, (5) environmental stress and cognitive performance, and (6) contextual analyses of environmental stress. Health researchers, psychologists, sociologists, designers, planners and those interested in public policy will find this book a valuable source of research and thought on the impact of environmental stress on human well-being. 18.3.36 (103037) Gibson, I.
