Our environment contains a variety of components that people use in their classification and comprehension of surroundings. These components relate to a person's interpretation and appraisal of a given environment. Environmental psychology is the science that analyzes the symbiotic relationship between how people interpret and classify environmental components, and how they then classify those components into likes and dislikes. Given that interior designers are leaders in the field of environmental design, the further collaboration between environmental psychologists and interior designers will help to facilitate a greater understanding between the environment and human responses.
