根据生命史理论，拥有丰富且可靠资源的环境鼓励低风险且注重长期结果的“缓慢”（深思熟虑）策略。可以说，绿色社区可能会接近这样的环境，尤其是在城市环境中。这项研究利用英国的千禧队列研究来调查 9 个月以及 3、5、7 和 11 岁时儿童直接居住区的绿色对奖励和惩罚敏感性的影响，并使用 11 岁时的剑桥赌博任务 (CGT) 进行测量。我们的样本是在所有五个时间点都居住在城市地区的儿童，并且在第五个时间点都有 CGT 数据（n = 5,012）。与生活史理论一致，我们发现绿色最少的地区的孩子比其他孩子更有可能采取“快速”决策策略：他们对奖励表现出更高的敏感性（或对惩罚的敏感性更低）。这种关联对于混杂因素的调整是稳健的。
According to Life History Theory, environments with abundant and reliable resources encourage ‘slow’ (deliberative) strategies that are low-risk and focused on long-term outcomes. Arguably, greener neighbourhoods may approximate such environments, especially in urban settings. This study used the UK’s Millennium Cohort Study to investigate the role of greenness of the child’s immediate residential area at ages 9 months and 3, 5, 7, and 11 years in reward and punishment sensitivity, measured using the Cambridge Gambling Task (CGT), at age 11 years. Our sample was the children who lived in urban areas at all five time-points and with data on the CGT at the fifth (n = 5,012). Consistent with Life History Theory, we found that children in the least green areas were more likely to engage in ‘fast’ decision strategies than other children: they showed higher sensitivity to reward (or lower sensitivity to punishment). This association was robust to adjustment for confounders.
