The Journal of Environmental Psychology is the premier journal in the field, publishing a wide range of interdisciplinary work from scholars around the world. JEP serves those who have an interest in the scientific study of the psychological processes engaged in the reciprocal relations between individuals and the physical environment. As an important forum for a diverse discipline, the journal publishes influential papers that advance environmental psychology as a science and serve as a resource for practitioners. The Editors welcome original empirical research studies, including single- and multi-study articles, systematic literature reviews, and meta-analyses that contribute to theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects of human-environment relations. Brief empirical notes, replications, registered reports, and letters to the editor are also welcome. Submissions are accepted within four categories:
