Description

Environmental psychology continued to have a dual focus on research and application and moved closer to doing so. Researchers conducted controlled experiments to test their hypotheses, and practitioners used the results in facility programming, design, and post-occupancy evaluation. Environmental design research, which uses a natural setting to enhance environmental design and test scientific concepts, showed the most obvious connection. The interaction between people and their surroundings is the focus of the interdisciplinary field of environmental psychology. The term "environment" is defined extensively in the discipline to include built surroundings, social contexts, learning environments, and informational environments. The study of the relationship between an environment and the effects it has on its inhabitants is known as environmental psychology. Academics as well as laypeople will find this book to be educational and helpful. All of the key facets of environmental psychology are covered in this book. The reader is given the methodological and theoretical perspective of the area as well as a historical overview of environmental psychology.
