environment psychology

Environmental psychology is the study of how our surroundings influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It explores how natural and built environments—like parks, homes, and workplaces—affect our mood, stress levels, and interactions. By understanding this relationship, we can design spaces that promote well-being, safety, and positive social interactions. Essentially, it bridges psychology and environmental design, helping create environments that support mental health and enhance quality of life for individuals and communities.
