The effects of different types of environments on stress reduction (2020, result): “This is also consistent with attention restoration theory, which posits that the attention-grabbing qualities of a natural environment are central to its restorative potential (Hansmann et al., 2007; Kaplan, 1995).”
Psychological Restoration through Indoor and Outdoor Leisure Activities (2014, background): “Most previous studies have agreed that chatting provides psychological benefits; for example, social interaction through gardening (Barnicle & Midden, 2003); and walking and chatting with friends in natural environments (Hansmann et al., 2007).”
Effect of predictors of visual preference as characteristics of urban natural landscapes in increasing perceived restorative potential (2014, background): “Studies on restorative environments have revealed the role of urban nature in increasing restorative potential of urban settings as well as the preference for natural over built urban settings (Staats et al., 2003; Hartig and Staats, 2006; Hansmann et al., 2007).”
Perception and preference of trees: A psychological contribution to tree species selection in urban areas (2016, background): “Visiting urban nature decreases suffering from headaches and stress and increases feeling well-balanced (Hansmann et al., 2007), emotional well-being (Korpela et al., 2014), feelings of restoration, creativity, and vitality, and positive mood (Tyrväinen et al., 2014).”
