Environmental Psychology

Catalog description

Humans are influenced by the physical environment and their actions shape the environment in which they live. This course focuses on the interaction between the environment and human beings, examining how the physical features of the environment impact human cognition, behavior, and well-being, and how their actions in turn produce immediate and long-term consequences on the environment. This course will also provide an overview of several pressing environmental challenges (e.g., climate change), and explore how these issues impact individual human beings, and what we can do to promote sustainability.
