Architectural and environmental psychology developed within the German-speaking world in the 1970s. In 1972, W.F.E. Preiser stated: “What is of special interest to environmental psychologists are the rules by which person-environment relationships are determined and adjustments to changing environmental conditions are enabled within cultural realms. Designers of environments, in particular architects and city planners, need measurements on how the variables they have manipulated affect users.” Early concepts revolved around the psychosocial roles of public and private space, interpersonal conflict, quality of living, and noise pollution. Later concepts explore the relationship between built environments and climate change.

The International Association for Research in Economic Psychology, usually abbreviated IAREP, is an interdisciplinary learned society concerned with all areas in which the disciplines of economics and psychology overlap, including behavioural economics, experimental economics and decision making among others. As stated on their mission, IAREP is engaged in the advancement and dissemination of knowledge regarding economic psychology for the benefit of society by connecting people, data and ideas. It was founded in 1982, as a successor to an informal organization, the European Group for Research in Economic Psychology, which first met at Tilburg University in 1975. IAREP's membership has remained principally European; it works in close collaboration with the Society for the Advancement of Behavioral Economics (SABE), which is centred in North America. The different titles of the two organizations reflect the fact that one was founded mainly by psychologists, the other mostly by economists, but in practice their interests overlap greatly.
