最近报道的研究表明，与城市环境相比，森林环境具有生理和心理放松效果。然而，一些研究人员声称，在街道中心进行的城市实验中，受试者在测量过程中受到他人监视的压力可能会影响测量结果。本研究的目的是通过比较在没有其他人观看的情况下从城市建筑物的屋顶观看森林区域和城市区域来确定森林环境是否具有生理和心理放松效果。当受试者在每个实验地点（城市和森林地区）观看风景 15 分钟时，对受试者进行近红外光谱 (NIRS) 测量。 NIRS 测量完成后进行主观评估。森林地区的总血红蛋白和氧合血红蛋白浓度显着低于城市地区。在主观评价的语义差异上，森林地区的“舒适”、“自然”、“舒缓”等感受显着高于城市地区；在情绪状态概况上，森林地区的负面情绪显着低于城市地区。生理和心理测量结果表明，观看森林可以有效放松。
Recently reported research indicate that forest environments have physiological and psychological relaxing effects compared to urban environments. However, some researchers claim that the stress of the subjects from being watched by others during measurements can affect the measurement result in urban experiments conducted in the center of a street. The present study was conducted to determine whether forest environments have physiological and psychological relaxing effects, using comparison of viewing a forest area with viewing an urban area from the roof of an urban building without being watched by others. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurement was performed on subjects while they viewed scenery for 15 min at each experimental site (urban and forest areas). Subjective assessments were performed after the NIRS measurement was complete. Total hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin concentrations were significantly lower in the forest area than in the urban area. For semantic differential in subjective assessments, feelings of “comfortable”, “natural”, and “soothed” were significantly higher in the forest area than in the urban area, and for profile of mood states, negative emotions were significantly lower in the forest area than in the urban area. The results of physiological and psychological measurements show that viewing the forest enabled effective relaxation.
