Global Environmental Psychology

Global Environmental Psychology (GEP) publishes research on human-environment interactions, covering natural, built, and virtual settings. Committed to open science and diversity, it explores environmental behaviors, impacts, and human-environment interdependence from a psychological perspective.

With a commitment to open science and diversity, GEP serves as a platform for both theoretical and applied research in this crucial field. The journal adopts a broad understanding of ‘environment’ that includes natural, built, and virtual spaces. Its scope includes a wide range of topics, from environmentally impactful behaviors and their drivers - such as perceptions, attitudes, norms, values, identities, abilities, and contextual factors - to the effects of environments on human performance, behavior, emotions, and well-being. GEP also examines the interdependence between humans and their surroundings, exploring concepts like place attachment and connectedness to nature.

GEP is committed to advancing reproducible, transparent, and open science. To achieve this, the journal welcomes replication studies and registered reports, while adhering to strict transparency and open science guidelines for empirical articles. Furthermore, GEP strives to increase diversity in psychological research, to make the field more representative of different human groups. The journal actively seeks to publish work that gives visibility to currently underrepresented authors and populations in environmental psychology.

By fostering a diverse, open, and rigorous approach to research, Global Environmental Psychology aims to contribute significantly to our understanding of human-environment interactions and their implications for our world.
