We compared psychophysiological stress recovery
and directed attention restoration
natural and urban field settings
klaxons using repeated measures of ambulatory blood pressure,
emotion and attention collected
randomly assigned young adults.
So to vary restoration needs,
we had half of the subjects
in the environmental treatment directly after driving to the field site.
The other half completed attentionally demanding tasks
Had just before the treatment.
After the drive or the tasks, sitting in a room
nut tree views promoted more rapid decline
undisturbed in diastolic blood pressure than sitting in a viewless room.
Subsequently walking in a nature reserve
initially fostered blood pressure
now change that indicated greater
stress reduction than afforded by walking
even in the urban surroundings. Performance on an attentional
test improved slightly from the pretest to the midpoint of the walk
in the nature reserve, while it declined
on the urban setting.
Nature reserve by the end of the walk affected emotional self-reports.
