The Context Analysis of the Emotion-Improving Effects of the Index of Greenness: Home and Other Places
Abstract
This study is to test the restorative environment model (Lee, 2007a) of the emotion-improving effects of the Index of Greenness (IG) according to the context of “home" or “places other than home." During a day, cellular phone text messages were sent to South Korean undergraduates (n = 301) twelve times. On receiving each message, participants took a photograph of their surroundings, marked if they were either “at home" or “in places other than home", and then rated stress scale, the Perceived Restorativeness Scale (PRS), and Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) with reference to “here and now." Three samples were drawn through a series of data processing. These samples consisted of the data only in case that the participants saw the leaves of plants (1) at home or in places other than home (sample 1; n = 233); (2) at home (sample 2; n = 54); and (3) in places other than home (sample 3; n = 219). The restorative environment model was tested with sample 1, 2, and 3, and then compared. A series of path analyses showed that: (1) the fit indices were better for the data from the sample 3 than the sample 1 and 2; (2) the causal path from ‘IG' to ‘restorative environment' was statistically significant only in sample 3; and (3) the causal paths from ‘restorative environment' to ‘emotion' were statistically significant in all three samples. Hierarchical multiple regressions showed that stress × restorative environment interaction was statistically significant only in sample 2. In other words, the negative effect of stress on emotion was present only at high level of restorative environment. These results indicate that in spite of the low level of IG, home is an important setting for psychological restoration, which enhances emotion. In contrast, these results indicate that in places other than home, higher IG is associated with higher psychological restoration, which enhances emotion.
