Abstract

Evidence links greenspace exposure with restorative benefits to cognition and well-being, yet nature contact is declining for younger demographics. Although natural settings have been shown to restore the capacity to inhibit distracting stimuli, it remains unknown whether smartphone attention capture disrupts nature contact. Here, we analyzed ~2.5 million observations of logged smartphone use, texting, calling, and environmental exposures for 701 young adults over 2 years. Participants’ weekly smartphone screen-time was over double their green-time. The relationship between greenspace exposure and smartphone activity differed by exposure dose, type, and mobility state. Calling and texting increased during short recreational greenspace visits while all smartphone use declined over the first 3 hr in nature areas, suggesting that nature exposure may support digital impulse inhibition. Those with elevated baseline screen-time or green-time significantly reduced device use in nature, indicating that parts of the biosphere may provide a reprieve from the cybersphere for highly connected youth.
自然暴露与智能手机使用减少有关
有证据表明,绿地暴露与认知和幸福感的恢复性益处有关,但年轻人与自然的接触正在减少。尽管自然环境已被证明可以恢复抑制分心刺激的能力,但智能手机的注意力捕捉是否会干扰自然接触仍不得而知。在这里,我们分析了701名2岁以上年轻人对智能手机使用、发短信、打电话和环境暴露的250万次观察 年。参与者每周的智能手机屏幕时间是他们绿色时间的两倍多。绿地暴露与智能手机活动之间的关系因暴露剂量、类型和活动状态而异。在短暂的娱乐绿地访问中,电话和短信增加,而前三年所有智能手机的使用量都有所下降 自然区域的hr,表明自然暴露可能支持数字脉冲抑制。那些基线屏幕时间或绿色时间增加的人在自然界中显著减少了设备的使用,这表明生物圈的部分地区可能会为高度联系的年轻人提供一个从网络圈中解脱出来的机会。
