請觀察這個句子的結構：主詞是一群「專家」，而後面跟著一段關於研究發現的敘述。當專家在報告中提出一個經過觀察後的論點時，他們通常是在對大眾「做什麼動作」？你可以試著從「陳述觀點」或「表達主張」的方向去思考，哪個詞最能展現這種專業且堅定的語氣？

學術語境下的動詞運用
這題的關鍵在於理解主詞「環境心理學家（Environmental psychologists）」與後方賓語子句之間的關係。在正式文章或學術評論中，當專家提出一套觀點或研究發現時，我們會使用 maintain 這個動詞。雖然大家初學時常將它背誦為「維修」或「保持」，但在這裡它承載了「主張」或「堅稱」（to claim or assert）的深層含意，完美契合了心理學家發表研究見解的語氣。相較之下，其他選項如 imitate（模仿）或 constrain（限制）在語義上完全無法銜接這項研究發現。
