Psychological geography

Psychological geography is the study of how people perceive and interact with their environments. It explores the emotional and cognitive associations we have with places, such as how specific locations influence our feelings, behaviors, and identities. For example, a bustling city might evoke excitement, while a serene countryside may provide peace. Researchers in this field examine how cultural, social, and personal factors shape our connections to different spaces, enhancing our understanding of how environment impacts our mental and emotional well-being.
