研究表明，暴露在不同的物理环境中后，亲社会和亲环境的态度会有所不同。目前尚不清楚这些视角的转变是否与对他人和环境的有意识思维和感受的变化有关。在研究1中，我们使用了被试内实验来测量自然温室和室内商场的1-h环境探索中的社会和环境思想内容。在三个调查时间点，参与者(N=586，本科生和社区成员)报告了他们在想谁，以及他们感觉自己与物理和社会环境的联系如何。使用贝叶斯多层次模型，我们发现，在参观音乐学院时，参与者更少考虑自己，感觉更接近附近和世界各地的人，并感觉与他们的社会和物理环境有更高的连接性。在研究二中，我们使用相关设计来调查城市公园感知的自然性与游玩时与附近他人和物理环境的联系的感觉之间的关系。参与者(芝加哥居民)报告说，当他们参观被评为更自然的城市公园时，他们与附近的人和物理环境的联系程度更高。这些研究进一步加深了我们对自然环境如何影响对社会和物理环境的有意识的想法和感受的理解。
Research has shown differences in pro-social and pro-environmental attitudes after exposure to different physical environments. It is unclear whether these perspective shifts are associated with changes in conscious thoughts and feelings about other people and the environment. In Study 1, we used a within-subject experiment to measure social and environmental thought content throughout 1-h environmental explorations of a nature conservatory and an indoor mall. At three survey time points, participants (N = 86, undergraduates and community members) reported whom they were thinking about and how connected they felt to the physical and social environment. Using Bayesian multi-level models, we found that while visiting the conservatory, participants were less likely to think about themselves, felt closer to people nearby and around the world, and felt higher connectedness to their social and physical environment. In Study 2, we used a correlational design to investigate the association between perceived naturalness of city parks and feelings of connection to nearby others and the physical environment while visiting. Participants (N = 303, Chicago residents) reported feeling higher levels of connection to nearby people and the physical environment when they were visiting city parks rated as more natural. These studies further our understanding of the ways in which natural environments influence conscious thoughts and feelings about the social and physical environment.
