近年来，自然环境的生理放松效果已被广泛利用，虽然森林疗法的效果存在个体差异，但评估方法尚未明确建立。本研究使用基于A型和B型行为模式的分类来解释对森林环境的生理反应的个体差异。我们在44个森林和城市（对照）地区进行了生理实验。共有485名男性大学生（年龄，21.8 ± 1.6岁）参加了这项研究。受试者被要求访问森林或城市环境随机观察每一个景观15分钟。受试者的脉搏率和血压进行了测试，以评估他们的生理反应。关西学院日常生活问卷被用来确定A型和B型行为模式的主题。暴露于森林地区后，B型组的脉率显著低于暴露于城市地区后，而A型组中没有观察到显著差异。此外，B型组中低评分受试者的脉率显著较低，这与其舒张压的变化一致。这些结果表明，个体差异的脉搏率和血压在森林环境中的反应可以解释为A型和B型行为模式。
In recent years, the physiological relaxation effects of natural environments have been widely exploited, and although individual differences in the effects of forest therapy are known, assessment methods have not been clearly established. This study used a classification based on Type A and Type B behavior patterns to explain individual differences in physiological responses to forest environments. We performed physiological experiments in 44 forest and urban (controls) areas. In total, 485 male university students (age, 21.8 ± 1.6 years) participated in the study. The subjects were asked to visit forest or urban environments randomly and observe each landscape for 15 min. The subjects’ pulse rates and blood pressures were tested to evaluate their physiological responses. The Kwansei Gakuin daily life questionnaire was used to identify Type A and Type B behavior patterns in subjects. The pulse rate was significantly lower in the Type B group after exposure to forest areas than after exposure to urban areas, whereas no significant difference was observed in the Type A group. In addition, the pulse rate was significantly lower in the low scoring subjects in the Type B group, which was consistent with changes in their diastolic blood pressure. These results suggest that individual differences in pulse rate and blood pressure in response to forest environments can be explained by Type A and Type B behavior patterns.
