A környezetpszichológia a környezet és az ember viszonyának kölcsönhatásával foglalkozik, ahol a környezet részeit jelentő tárgyak/helyszínek és az emberi oldal (események és maguk az emberek) egymástól függenek, azaz tranzakcióban állnak. Így a viselkedés a környezeti sajátosságok oka és következménye is egyben, és ez az állítás fordítva is igaz. A változásnak tehát nincs eleje vagy vége, az ember-környezet adott konstellációja ok és okozat egyszerre. A környezet ügye azonban ennél jóval tágabb, és egzisztenciális értelemben is egyre fontosabb kérdés - valójában minden ember, az emberiség túlélésének ügye.

Environmental psychology is an interdisciplinary field focused on the interplay between humans and their surroundings. The field defines the term environment very broadly including all that is natural on the planet as well as social settings, built environments, learning environments and informational environments. When solving problems involving human-environment interactions, whether global or local, one must have a model of human nature that predicts the environmental conditions under which humans will behave in a decent and creative manner. With such a model one can design, manage, protect and/or restore environments that enhance reasonable behavior, predict what the likely outcome will be when these conditions are not met, and diagnose problem situations. The field develops such a model of human nature while retaining a broad and inherently multidisciplinary focus. It explores such dissimilar issues as common property resource management, wayfinding in complex settings, the effect of environmental stress on human performance, the characteristics of restorative environments, human information processing, and the promotion of durable conservation behavior. The field of environmental psychology recognizes the need to be problem-oriented, using, as needed, the theories and methods of related disciplines (e.g., psychology, sociology, anthropology, biology, ecology).
