 change,  individual  identity,  behavioral  science, small group processes, and intergroup conflict.  In  the  early  2000s,  the  research  of  environmental  psychology  had  transferred from  individual  perspective  to  the  social  issues  such  as  prejudice,  city  construction and school management, which broadened its application in a more interdisciplinary way.

2.2   Environment, attitude and behavior
An  attitude  can  be  described  as  a  positive  or  negative  evaluation  of  people  to objects, events, activities, and ideas. Defined by Chaiken and Stangor (1987), attitude is  “a  psychological  tendency  that  is  expressed  by  evaluating  a  particular  entity  with some degree of favor or disfavor” (p. 89). Attitude may influence how we distribute our  attention  to  objects,  the  way  to  encode  information  and  how  we  interpret  and think of the attitude-related information. When interacting with various environments, one is able to evaluate which entities may meet his needs. Then determine whether or not it satisfies him psychologically, biologically, socially, or culturally. Through good or  bad  experiences  with  an  environment,  a  person  is  then  able  to  reflect  and  define their  personal  attitudes  and  beliefs  about  the  physical  world,  which  will  in  turn  to influence, consciously or subconsciously, the personal reaction to the environment.  According  to  Jamieson  and  Zanna  (1989),  attitudes  comprise  evaluative dimensions  with  three  components  in  combination  or  on  their  own.  The  affective component  involves  physiological  reactions  and  verbal  statements  of  feelings; cognitive evaluations are perceived responses or verbal statements of beliefs; and as for  behavioral  component,  it  is  the  behavior  and  verbal  reports  about  it.  Different scales  are  designed  to  measure  attitudes,  such  as  Likert  Scales,  which  ask  for  the degree of agreement with statements about the person or objects and Thurston Scales, complex  scales  that  assign  point  values  to  various  statements  about  the  person  or object  (Cohen,  1971).  These  methods  of  assessing  attitude  vary  in  reliability  and  in difficulty of construction.
