Environmental Psychology

Environmental psychology studies how our surroundings influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It examines the relationships between people and their environments, including natural landscapes, urban settings, and architectural designs. A key concept is environmental aesthetics, which looks at how the beauty and design of spaces affect our well-being and mood. For instance, a well-designed park can inspire relaxation and happiness, while cluttered or neglected areas may lead to stress. By understanding these connections, we can create healthier, more enjoyable environments that promote positive experiences and enhance our quality of life.
