将焦点从与环境质量恶化相关的恐惧，内疚和愤怒转移，作者假设，那些在自然环境中看到更大潜力的恢复性体验的人也会通过生态行为来保护他们，比如回收或减少驾驶。大学生（N = 488）评价了一个熟悉的淡水沼泽在远离，魅力，连贯性和兼容性，注意力恢复理论中描述的恢复性人与环境的交易质量。他们还报告了各种生态行为的表现。作者用随机抽取的参与者子集的数据测试了结构方程模型，然后用第二个子集的数据证实了这一点。对于合并的子集，恢复素质的看法预测23%的一般生态行为的方差。作为唯一的直接预测因子，迷恋对连贯性、远离和兼容性的影响起中介作用。
Shifting the focus from fear, guilt, and indignation related to deteriorating environmental quality, the authors hypothesized that people who see greater potential for restorative experiences in natural environments also do more to protect them by behaving ecologically, as with recycling or reduced driving. University students (N = 488) rated a familiar freshwater marsh in terms of being away, fascination, coherence, and compatibility, qualities of restorative person-environment transactions described in attention restoration theory. They also reported on their performance of various ecological behaviors. The authors tested a structural equation model with data from a randomly drawn subset of participants and then confirmed it with the data from a second subset. For the combined subsets, perceptions of the restorative qualities predicted 23% of the variance in general ecological behavior. As the only direct predictor, fascination mediated the influences of coherence, being away, and compatibility.
