The Workplace Window View: A Determinant of Office Workers’ Work Ability and Job Satisfaction (2015, background): “A recent study shows that individuals reported preferences for certain features in the outdoor environment differently, depending on the individuals’ level of stress (Grahn & Stigsdotter, 2010).”
Usage and perception of urban green space of older adults in the high-density city of Hong Kong (2021, methodology): “Grahn and Stigsdotter (2010) identified eight perceived sensory dimensions (PSDs) to evaluate the recreational qualities of UGS, including “serene”, “nature”, “rich in species”, “space”, “prospect”, “refuge”, “social” and “culture”.”
Evaluating restoration in urban green spaces: Does setting type make a difference? (2014, background): “…of naturalness to the perceived restorativeness of urban green spaces is corroborated by a survey in nine Swedish cities, which revealed that green spaces exemplifying the dimensions ‘refuge’, ‘nature’ and ‘rich in species’ were preferred by stressed individuals (Grahn & Stigsdotter, 2009).”
Exposure to Neighborhood Green Space and Mental Health: Evidence from the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (2014, neutral): “Previous work has suggested that greenspace may be linked to lower levels of depression, anxiety and/or stress, and that more research is needed [41,42].”
Associations with bird sounds: How do they relate to perceived restorative potential? (2016, background): “…domain, natural sounds such as wind, water, and birds are perceived to be pleasant, relaxing, and potentially restorative (e.g. Björk et al., 2008; Grahn & Stigsdotter, 2010; Payne, 2013), and can lead to greater recovery from stress than sounds from the built enviro ment (Alvarsson, Wiens, &…”
A dose of nature: Two three-level meta-analyses of the beneficial effects of exposure to nature on children's self-regulation (2019, background): “In-deed, adults reported, for example, serenity, space, and specifically refuge, as qualities of urban green spaces that they associate with less stress (Grahn & Stigsdotter, 2010).”
