我们进行了两项实地研究，以研究在自然环境中举行的歌曲创作务虚会是否会增加与自然的联系，以及改善情感健康和创造性推理任务的表现。在第一项研究中，高中生在他们的学校或国家野生动物保护区参加歌曲创作指导。结果表明，自然环境独特地增加了自然联系，而这两种设置都提高了情绪和创造性推理能力。在第二项研究中，我们观察到在同一保护区参加歌曲创作务虚会的成年人有类似的影响，并将其与另一个偏远自然区的科学研讨会的结果进行比较，以评估自然联系效应是否完全归因于自然接触。这些研究的结果表明，音乐创造力和户外教育经历都能提高幸福感，而户外教育也能增加与自然的联系，歌曲创作也能增加创造性推理。
We conducted two field studies to examine whether songwriting retreats held in a natural setting would increase nature connectedness, as well as improve emotional well-being and performance on a creative reasoning task. In the first study, high school students took part in songwriting instruction either in their school or at a national wildlife conservation area. Results showed that the natural setting uniquely increased nature connection, while both settings improved mood and creative reasoning performance. In the second study, we observed similar effects for adults who attended songwriting retreats at the same conservation area and compared this to results from a science-based workshop in another remote natural area to assess whether nature connection effects were entirely attributable to nature contact. The findings of these studies imply that both musical creativity and outdoor education experiences improve well-being, while outdoor education also increases nature connectedness, and songwriting also increases creative reasoning.
