Abstract

UZZELL, David. Questioning methods in the interdisciplinary research and practice of environmental psychology. Psicol. USP [online]. 2005, vol.16, n.1-2, pp. 185-199. ISSN 1678-5177.

This article presents interdisciplinarity as a condition for Environmental Psychology, in a holistic approach and aiming at successful applied research. It discusses four questions referring to the conduction of interdisciplinary research and to the interaction between environment-behavior interdisciplinary research and methodologies: there are no methods without theory; methods in interdisciplinary dialogue: as communication, as political relation, to improve understanding; sharing methods should not be a unilateral transaction; and finally, interdisciplinary research in an ethical context.

Keywords : Environmental psychology; Interdisciplinary research; Ethics.
