The relationship between interior office space and employee health and well-being – a literature review (2020, background): “In lab studies testing the health effect of artificial nature views, a positive effect is found for nature posters (Kweon, Ulrich, Walker, & Tassinary, 2008); nature views on a plasma display window have no health effect (Kahn et al., 2008).”
A Dose-Response Curve Describing the Relationship Between Urban Tree Cover Density and Self-Reported Stress Recovery (2016, background): “There is evidence suggesting that the impacts we measured here will be greater for individuals who actually live in settings similar to the ones we measured here and who thus experience these tree cover densities on a regular basis (Kahn et al., 2008; Kahn, Severson, & Ruckert, 2009).”
An occasion for unselfing: Beautiful nature leads to prosociality (2014, background): “Since then, empirical evidence has linked greater prosociality to having a personal connection with nature and with exposure to natural environments relative to urban settings (Kahn et al., 2008; Mayer & Frantz, 2004; Nisbet et al., 2009; Weinstein et al., 2009).”
The Role of Methodological Choices in the Effects of Experimental Exposure to Simulated Natural Landscapes on Human Health and Cognitive Performance: A Systematic Review (2020, background): “…(Yin et al., 2018) or outdoors (Berman et al., 2008; Brooks et al., 2017; Calogiuri et al., 2018; Gatersleben & Andrews, 2013; Hartig et al., 1997; Kahn et al., 2008; Kjellgren & Buhrkall, 2010; Lassonde et al., 2012; Mayer et al., 2009; Olafsdottir et al., 2018; Plante, 1996; Ryan et al, 2010).”
A dose of nature: Tree cover, stress reduction, and gender differences (2014, background): “In a study comparing views of a landscape out a window to a view of the same landscape through a high definition monitor, individuals who had the view out the window tended had more rapid decreases in their heart rate than individuals randomly assigned to view the landscape through the monitor (Kahn”
Natural Sound Facilitates Mood Recovery (2014, unknown): “Although research has shownthat technologicalsubstitutes for natural environments can be restorative (e.g., Friedman et al., 2004; Parsons et al., 1998), the value of simulations of nature may be less than that of actual environmental exposure (Kahn et al., 2008).”
Humans and Nature: How Knowing and Experiencing Nature Affect Well-Being (2013, background): “Viewing the real scene through the window led to more rapid recovery of heart rates after exposure to low-level stress than the plasma screen representation, and in turn the plasma screen subjects recovered more rapidly than did those viewing the brick wall (31).”
Where to take a study break on the college campus: An attention restoration theory perspective (2009, background): “In contrast, Kahn et al. (2008) found heart rate recovery from low level stress was greater in participants who viewed nature through a window than for those who viewed the same nature scenes on a plasma screen of equal size.”
