本研究旨在通过考察168名受试者对物理环境的心理反应，阐明对森林和城市环境设置的心理反应与表征这些环境的物理变量之间的关系。在日本的14个森林和14个城市地区进行了实地实验。语义差异（SD）的方法，其中一个问卷调查管理的主题之前，他们在森林和城市地区散步。此外，在散步之前和之后，以及在他们坐下来观看森林和城市景观之前和之后，进行了情绪状态（POMS）问卷调查。测量的环境变量包括空气温度、相对湿度、辐射热、风速和两个热舒适指数[预测平均投票数（PMV）和预测不满意百分比（PPD）]。对SD问卷的答复表明，与城市环境相比，森林环境被认为更加愉快、友好、自然和神圣。POMS测量紧张和焦虑（T-A），抑郁和沮丧（D）。愤怒和敌对（A-H）、活力（V）、困惑（C）、疲劳（F）和总情绪障碍（TMD）在森林和城市之间存在显著差异。这些结果有力地支持了森林环境具有注意力恢复效应的建议。对物理环境的心理反应也与空气温度、相对湿度、辐射热、风速、PMV和PPD显著相关。本研究之结果可提供都市地区生态环境重建之参考。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The present study aimed to clarify the relationship between psychological responses to forest and urban environmental settings and the physical variables that characterize these environments, by examining the psychological responses of 168 subjects to their physical environment. Field experiments were conducted in 14 forests and 14 urban areas across Japan. The semantic differential (SD) method was employed in which a questionnaire was administered to subjects prior to their walks in the forests and urban areas. In addition, the profile of mood states (POMS) questionnaire was administered before and after the walks, as well as before and after they sat and viewed the forest and urban landscapes. The environmental variables measured were air temperature, relative humidity, radiant heat, wind velocity, and two indices of thermal comfort [predicted mean vote (PMV) and predicted percentage dissatisfied (PPD)]. Responses to the SD questionnaire indicated that compared to urban settings, forest settings are perceived as being significantly more enjoyable, friendly, natural, and sacred. The POMS measures of tension and anxiety (T-A), depression and dejection (D). anger and hostility (A-H), vigor (V), confusion (C), fatigue (F), and total mood disturbance (TMD) showed significant differences between the forests and urban areas. These results strongly support the suggestion that forest settings have attention restoration effects. The psychological responses to physical environments were also significantly related to air temperature, relative humidity, radiant heat, wind velocity, PMV, and PPD. The results of this study might be useful in designing restoration environments in urban areas. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
