The Handbook of Environmental Psychology is a comprehensive guide that explores the relationship between humans and their environment. It covers various aspects of environmental psychology, including the impact of technology on human behavior and the importance of understanding the evolution of technology to ensure the survival of humanity. The book emphasizes the need to develop a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge as the basis for the survival of humanity and the unity of people in a warring state. The handbook begins by discussing the historical development of environmental psychology, highlighting its origins and key milestones in the field. It then delves into the various theories and models that have been developed to understand the complex relationship between humans and their environment. These include the biophilia hypothesis, which suggests that humans have an inherent love for nature, and the attention restoration theory, which posits that spending time in nature can help restore cognitive functioning. One of the central themes of the handbook is the role of technology in shaping human behavior and the environment. The authors argue that technology has had a profound impact on human society, from the invention of the wheel to the development of artificial intelligence. They explore how technology has influenced human behavior, both positively and negatively, and how it has reshaped our understanding of the world around us.
