This study is a part of a research on architects' perception of users' psychological makeup. 115 texts of architectural theory were selected and analyzed for keywords and contexts to establish architecture's theorists' extension of interest, and perception of users' rationality, irrationality, and two modes of thinking, using selected theories of modern psychology as a baseline. It was found that, despite a relatively large interest in the subject, architectural theory did not form a comprehensive theory of the users' rationality. It was also proposed that architecture's theorists were selective and likely to be influenced by the intellectual discourse of their times.
