Environment and Behavior

Environment and Behavior examines how the surroundings we live in influence our actions and feelings. Our environment includes physical spaces, social interactions, and cultural contexts. For example, a busy, noisy city can make people feel stressed, while a calm park might promote relaxation. Similarly, social environments, like supportive friendships, can encourage positive behaviors, while negative surroundings may lead to harmful choices. Understanding this relationship helps us recognize that changes in our environment can lead to changes in behavior, impacting our well-being and quality of life.
