Abstract

WIESENFELD, Esther. Environmental psychology and the diverse human realities. Psicol. USP [online]. 2005, vol.16, n.1-2, pp. 53-69. ISSN 1678-5177.

This article is based on the analysis of the journals Environment and Behavior, Journal of Environmental Psychology, of Latin-American congresses, studies, and networks. It argues that the definition of the object circumscribed to certain perspectives that differ in their ontological, epistemological and methodological dimensions, lead to many Environmental Psychologies. In order to contribute to the development of knowledge and favor our life conditions and the conditions of the planet, we must foster the dialogue between the different environmental psychologies. It concludes that the angle adopted leads to the analysis of diversity, rescuing or not, in its postulates, the aspects of reality that one tries to emphasize and the ways to conceive it.
