This study proposes to investigate two areas. First, for the first time, children's small-scale fluctuations in physiological stress and attention, learning and social behaviours in indoor and outdoor settings will be recorded. This will allow for the assessment of how small-scale fluctuations in children's levels of physiological stress differ between indoor and outdoor settings, and to measure how these fluctuations influence children's cognition and social behaviour. Second, the research will investigate whether the educational environment influences physiological stress, attention and learning in some children more than others. Previous research has suggested that some children are phenotypically sensitive to environmental influences (known as 'orchid' children) and others are less so ('dandelions') [9]. However, no previous research has, to our knowledge, investigated whether children's phenotypical sensitivity influences their behaviour within educational settings.

本研究拟调查两个领域。首先，将首次记录儿童在室内和室外环境中生理压力和注意力、学习和社会行为的小规模波动。这将有助于评估儿童生理压力水平的小规模波动在室内和室外环境之间的差异，并衡量这些波动如何影响儿童的认知和社会行为。其次，研究将调查教育环境是否对某些儿童的生理压力、注意力和学习的影响大于其他儿童。以前的研究表明，有些孩子对环境影响的表型敏感（称为“兰花”儿童），而其他人则不那么敏感（“蒲公英”）[9]。然而，没有以前的研究，据我们所知，调查是否儿童的表型敏感性影响他们的行为在教育环境。
