Description
Environmental psychology explores the interplay between people and their environment. It seeks to understand how environments impact us, how we can leverage that knowledge to our advantage, and how we might improve our relationship to the world around us. Students will learn about the interrelationships between ourselves and the environments in which we live, love, and work, with a focus on both theory and practical application. Specific topics addressed include: the history and scope of environmental psychology; theories of environment and behavior; designing built environments for human wellbeing; people’s relationship with animals and the natural environment; ecotherapies and animal therapies as emerging treatment paradigms; and behavioral change in relation to contemporary global environmental issues and issues of sustainability.
Prerequisite(s): 12 credit units of 200-level psychology; and PSY 235.3 or HLST 210.3.
