PSYC 4330 - Environmental Psychology

This course will provide an introduction to the scientific study of the many interactions that exist between humans and the natural and built environment. The first part of the class will address environmental influences (e.g., nature, crowding, noise) on human health and well-being. Next, we will examine the goal of sustainability and how the field of psychology can aid in the interdisciplinary approach to solving the world’s complex issues. We will examine the effects that humans have on the natural environment. Additionally, we will examine environmental issues through a self-regulatory and social approach.
