“…If one system is more differentiated and hierarchically integrated than another, it is structurally more developed than the other. If a single system is increasing in differentiation and hierarchic integration, it may be said to be developing (Wapner, Cirillo, & Baker, 1971). Thus development, defined in this comparative manner, is a set of conceptual glasses.…”

The purpose of this chapter is to examine several epistemological questions underlying the nature of theory in the environment-behavior (EB) and design fields) Among these questions are: What is an EB theory, or, said differently, what are the necessary and sufficient conditions for something to be called a theory? What is the form and scope of different things that purport to be theories dealing with EB relations? What are the similarities and differences between EB theories and design theories, and is it possible to integrate theories linking environment, behavior, and design?2 lin their very influential chapter on world views, Altman and Rogoff (1987) refer to the discipline as "environmental psychology." The more general term "environment and behavior" encompasses environmental psychology, behavioral and social geography, environmental s0ciology, human factors, social and behavioral factors in architecture, and urban social planning. The range of theories discussed in this chapter will pertain not only to those in environmental psychology but also to those in the broader environment, behavior, and design field. 2These questions have been examined in a graduate seminar "Theories of Environment-Behavior Relations," which I offered between 1983 and 1997 at

“…Awes 1953, Ittelson 1960 or the sensory-tonic, organismic approach (cf. Wapner, Cirillo, and Baker 1971, for a review and some early references) place egocentric space before unitary space and are variations on the themes we have been exploring in this chapter. Though interesting in their own right, such approaches need not be considered separately in the context of our review.…”
