Abstract

Few studies have investigated the impact of landscapes on humans’ mental status while they are moving at high speeds, such as driving on the freeway. This study used a simulation system to measure drivers’ mental responses to six different freeway landscapes. Each of the 33 participants completed six different 90-minute simulated driving tasks in a randomly assigned sequence. The six landscape conditions consisted of an identical freeway infrastructure, with different roadside landscapes. Results show significant differences between landscape conditions and drivers’ mental responses. Landscape conditions with greater greenness, in general, had a greater positive impact on drivers’ mental status. The barren and tree regular landscapes yielded the worst and best results, respectively. Further, higher complexity was associated with a higher level of negative mental status. We argue that the speed of human’s active movement should be considered as an essential factor in the Attention Restoration Theory and Stress Reduction Theory.
一项模拟驾驶实验对注意力恢复理论和压力减轻理论提出了新的问题
很少有研究调查了当人们在高速行驶时,比如在高速公路上开车时,风景对人类精神状态的影响。这项研究使用了一个模拟系统来测量司机对六种不同高速公路景观的心理反应。33名参与者中的每一位都按照随机分配的顺序完成了6个不同的90分钟模拟驾驶任务。六种景观条件由相同的高速公路基础设施和不同的路边景观组成。结果表明,景观条件与驾驶员心理反应之间存在显著差异。总体而言,绿化程度越高的景观条件对驾驶员心理状态的正向影响越大。贫瘠和树木整齐的景观分别产生了最差和最好的结果。此外,更高的复杂性与更高水平的消极心理状态有关。我们认为,在注意恢复理论和压力减轻理论中,人类活动的速度应该被视为一个重要的因素。
