The discipline of Environmental Psychology has many meanings, although the simplest way to explain Environmental Psychology as it relates to human psychological needs and values is that it lends value as it relates to psychology. According to Conservation Psychology Environmental Psychology is the study that examines the interrelationship between environments and human behavior and defines the term environment in a broad and natural way that the world and social settings, learning environments and informational environments are important to one another and how one works with the other (Clayton, 2009). However, this is only a brief example or definition supporting the full spectrum of Environmental Psychology, a more complete examination of the theoretical approach of Environmental Psychology and the importance of research of the field brings is a better comprehensive understanding of the study.

Environmental Psychology combines different psychological views of human psychology to explain how the interaction between the environment, and human behavior work together, the theories that motivate the philosophy of Environmental Psychology have access to the fields of architecture, anthropology, biology, sociology, psychology, physiology, and urban living (Garling, 1993). Although several disciplines of Environmental Psychology exist, the following stand out and appear the best way to define the Environmental Psychology.

The research methods available to Environmental Psychology researcher is split into categories the same as other psychological fields, laboratory experimentation, and field experimentation. The independent and dependent variables are capable of maintaining a high level of inner validity, which allows for the logical credit of cause and effect to the individual variables. In contrast, the fields linking the studies have a low internal strength, yet a high level of external soundness, which can predict the association of naturally occurring events.
