The early notions of place-identity and place attachment had implied an unambiguously positive affect that led to much controversy later on. In the nineties research was mostly influenced by emphasis on positive affect, this, however, created tension between environmental psychological theories of home and empirical applications. Recently, researchers tend to focus on situations where positive affect to home place-identity is lacking for some reason, and strongly negative feelings prevail due to troubles and traumatic experiences of family life. Recent studies conclude that homes with negative experiences can become psychologically just as meaningful as places where needs are met in a positive way. Thus, emotional relationship to the home is essentially complex, sometimes ambivalent. In this paper an exploratory study of psychological attitudes towards the home is reported, with a special emphasis on the novel method of projective participatory snapping; In this procedure people participating in the study were asked to take pictures of their own homes and then to evaluate these according to given dimensions. The results of the analysis of qualitative data related to home photos and related procedures are discussed

The physical environment people work in is psychologically significant to them. The work environment affects their performance and well-being both directly and indirectly. In this paper the authoresses argue that the person-environment fit theory by Proshansky, Ittelson, Rivlin (1970), the privacy concept by Altman (1975), and the place theory by Canter1977), taken together, can be used for integrating our knowledge about workplaces. Also, Proshansky's place-identity theory (1978) should be taken into account for a complete environmental psychological interpretation of people's relationship to their workplaces, since familiar, safe and controlled places assure feelings of competence and autonomy for their users. Assuming that the workplace is a primary territory, it is plausible that place attachment develops there inevitably. As a consequence of place usage, privacy regulation and other factors, the workplace becomes an essential part of the person's place identity. To understand this process thoroughly, all the processes involved in the transaction and their interconnections should be examined. In this study the authoresses consider the office as a work place in depth and outline our transactional environmental psychological approach as a theoretical background.

The basic concept of environment is associated with various constructs and interpretations in psychology. However, these constructs and interpretations do not conclude in a coherent, theoretical system. In this theoretical paper the authoresses aim at a general analysis of the concept of environment, and the outlines of a synthesis, based on an ecological system view. As theoretical roots they review the concept of Umwelt by Jakov von Uexkull (1938), the transactionalism of Dewey and Bentley (1949), and some of the major representatives of ecological psychology in the history of psychology. They analyse the conceptual system of environmental psychology, and conclude by finding answers to the questions: what is environment and why it is important for psychology.

Some data reported in the family therapeutical literature suggest the positive role of home visits, but they are rarely used in everyday practice. In the authors' family therapeutical work visits in the homes of eating disordered patients have become a routine part of the therapeutical process. The paper discusses the experiences of home visits presenting eight case vignettes. The visits were performed once in each case in the middle phase of the therapy. The observation of personal boundaries on the basis of environmental psychology and structural family therapy provided important insights for understanding the family dynamics (e. g. open or missing doors, enmeshed sleeping habits, missing father during the visit, etc.) The advantages of visits are many: therapists can gather first hand information about the family members' privacy and personal boundaries - such information is useful in planning the therapeutical interventions. At the same time the visit is a good opportunity to introduce 'in vivo' structural tasks. The visit can also serve as a tool for strengthening the psychotherapeutic relationship, while as a consequence of entering into personal places and sharing the family atmosphere the traditional doctor role changes; therapists become 'participant observers' as in cultural anthropology. The authors visits corroborated former observations that eating disorders are paradigmatic psychosomatic disorders with characteristic structural changes in the families.

There is a consensus in the literature of crisis that bereavement is one of the most forceful factors that provokes crisis. This is especially important if we extend psychoanalytical object loss theory beyond the loss of a significant person. Fried (1963) has shown in his psychodynamic theory that leaving an important place causes a break in self-continuity. This paper presents two studies in which the authors have examined changes in attachment to the place of birth and phases of coping with loss due to migration. The data were collected in Szeged with two groups of respondents. The first group consisted of in-border native Hungarian migrants who have changed their place of residence within Hungary to pursue studies in higher education, while the second group consisted of cross-border migrants, also university students, who have changed countries as well. A qualitative method has been developed based on a projective questionnaire and a qualitative content analysis. In consistence with Fried's theory the authors have found that respondents expressed feelings of loss due to migration in their narratives. The experience of loss was much stronger among cross-border migrants than among in-border migrants. This difference suggests the importance of the practical and symbolic meaning of the border.

Earlier research has indicated a strong relationship between drug use and leisure-time activity, and, specifically, the connection between the time spent in shopping malls and the abuse of legal and illegal substances. The aim of the authors' research is to examine the characteristics and interconnections of lifestyle, drug use and other problem-behaviours of youth spending time in shopping malls. In their research they have combined the methods of qualitative environmental psychological analysis (systematic setting observation) with normal population surveys. Results confirmed that the 'plaza-visiting behaviour' of frequent visitors (performing several visits per week or visiting every day) differ characteristically from the behaviour of those who are less frequent visitors. Frequent visitors are more likely to go to these places forenoon, and visit these places alone. However, they also consider shopping malls as places to meet friends. A strong relationship has been found between drug use and the frequency of visiting shopping malls. Those who visit shopping malls monthly, or less frequently, have shown a lower prevalence rates than the average of the whole sample, while those visiting these places (almost) daily have shown much higher prevalence rates of illegal substance use than the average. Similar results have been found in terms of other problem-behaviours. Beyond the presentation of the results the environmental psychological attributes of shopping malls are reviewed in the study.
