The design of the spaces that we’re in and the objects that surround us matter a lot. They profoundly influence our lives. Colors, shapes, textures, scents, sounds, ceiling heights, and other features of our world have powerful psychological effects on us as human beings.
Research Design Connections can show you how to use what scientists have learned about the psychology behind our reactions to design to create places in which people flourish and objects humans cherish.
Research Design Connections applies environmental psychology. Environmental psychologists focus on people’s existence in the physical world and use rigorous scientific methods to study how features of objects and settings help determine whether we thrive or atrophy.
Environmental psychologists answer questions such as:
You can use environmental psychology to design places and objects that you will use and value or professionally to create objects and spaces that will enhance other people’s lives.
Professionals from Research Design Connections can help you apply research from rigorously derived scientific studies to your specific design project or conduct targeted field studies (e.g., using observation, interview, survey, and group discussion techniques).
