Description

The project involves research activities in educational settings and workplaces, with a primary focus on the methodological and measurement aspects of PSIC-01/C – Psychometrics, applied within the theoretical framework of environmental psychology. The aim is to analyse how different characteristics of physical environments, including the presence or absence of biophilic and regenerative elements, influence perceived well-being. Data will be collected through quantitative and qualitative methods (surveys, interviews, observational techniques), continuing an ongoing line of research on the impact of physical spaces on individual psychological perceptions. The activities may be integrated into broader studies on climate and well-being. The project also includes data analysis and the design of training interventions aimed at enhancing physical environments as resources for well-being, whose effectiveness will be assessed through psychometric tools.
