我们使用对112名随机分配的年轻人的动态血压、情绪和注意力的重复测量，比较了自然和城市现场环境中心理生理压力恢复和定向注意恢复。为了满足不同的修复需求，我们让一半的受试者在开车到现场后直接开始环境处理。另一半人在治疗前完成了需要专心完成的任务。在开车或完成任务后，坐在有树景的房间里比坐在没有视野的房间里更快地降低舒张压。随后，在自然保护区散步最初会导致血压变化，这表明比在城市环境中散步可以更大程度地减轻压力。在自然保护区，注意力测试从前测到散步的中点略有提高，而在城市环境下，注意力测试的表现有所下降。这打开了一个在步行后持续存在的表现差距。在步行结束时，自然保护区内的积极情绪增加，愤怒情绪减少；城市环境中出现了相反的模式。任务操作影响情绪自我报告。我们讨论了结果对恢复性环境和环境健康促进措施的理论的影响。(C)2003爱思唯尔科学有限公司。保留所有权利。
We compared psychophysiological stress recovery and directed attention restoration in natural and urban field settings using repeated measures of ambulatory blood pressure, emotion, and attention collected from 112 randomly assigned young adults. To vary restoration needs, we had half of the subjects begin the environmental treatment directly after driving to the field site. The other half completed attentionally demanding tasks just before the treatment. After the drive or the tasks, sitting in a room with tree views promoted more rapid decline in diastolic blood pressure than sitting in a viewless room. Subsequently walking in a nature reserve initially fostered blood pressure change that indicated greater stress reduction than afforded by walking in the urban surroundings. Performance on an attentional test improved slightly from the pretest to the midpoint of the walk in the nature reserve, while it declined in the urban setting. This opened a performance gap that persisted after the walk. Positive affect increased and anger decreased in the nature reserve by the end of the walk; the opposite pattern emerged in the urban environment. The task manipulation affected emotional self-reports. We discuss implications of the results for theories about restorative environments and environmental health promotion measures.
