Perceived Greenspace Exposure and Children’s Emotional Well-Being in Daily Life: Comparisons between Children Living in Urban and Rural Areas
Greenspace exposure (including the amount of time spent, vegetation coverage, and the number of greenspace attributes) has been shown to enhance children’s well-being (including fewer emotional problems and more happiness). However, the day-to-day associations between perceived greenspace exposure and children’s emotional well-being and potential rural-urban differences remain unclear. A total of 509 children participated in this study and completed daily diaries for 14 consecutive days. Results showed that on days when children spend more time in greenspace and perceived higher vegetation coverage and more attributes in the greenspace they were exposed to, they reported greater emotional well-being on that day and the next day. Children who perceived higher vegetation coverage in greenspace they were exposed to reported greater emotional well-being than others. Furthermore, the negative associations of more greenspace attributes with same- and next-day fewer emotional problems were only significant for urban children, but not for rural children. This study revealed dynamic associations between perceived greenspace exposure and children’s daily emotional well-being, underscoring the significance of the place of residence in shaping these associations.
期刊介绍:
The international peer-reviewed Journal of Happiness Studies is devoted to theoretical and applied advancements in all areas of well-being research. It covers topics referring to both the hedonic and eudaimonic perspectives characterizing well-being studies. The former includes the investigation of cognitive dimensions such as satisfaction with life, and positive affect and emotions. The latter includes the study of constructs and processes related to optimal psychological functioning, such as meaning and purpose in life, character strengths, personal growth, resilience, optimism, hope, and self-determination. In addition to contributions on appraisal of life-as-a-whole, the journal accepts papers investigating these topics in relation to specific domains, such as family, education, physical and mental health, and work.
The journal welcomes high-quality theoretical and empirical submissions in the fields of economics, psychology and sociology, as well as contributions from researchers in the domains of education, medicine, philosophy and other related fields.
The Journal of Happiness Studies provides a forum for three main areas in happiness research: 1) theoretical conceptualizations of well-being, happiness and the good life; 2) empirical investigation of well-being and happiness in different populations, contexts and cultures; 3) methodological advancements and development of new assessment instruments.
The journal addresses the conceptualization, operationalization and measurement of happiness and well-being dimensions, as well as the individual, socio-economic and cultural factors that may interact with them as determinants or outcomes.
Central Questions include, but are not limited to:
Conceptualization:
What meanings are denoted by terms like happiness and well-being?
How do these fit in with broader conceptions of the good life?
Operationalization and Measurement:
Which methods can be used to assess how people feel about life?
How to operationalize a new construct or an understudied dimension in the well-being domain?
What are the best measures for investigating specific well-being related constructs and dimensions?
Prevalence and causality
Do individuals belonging to different populations and cultures vary in their well-being ratings?
How does individual well-being relate to social and economic phenomena (characteristics, circumstances, behavior, events, and policies)?
What are the personal, social and economic determinants and causes of individual well-being dimensions?
Evaluation:
What are the consequences of well-being for individual development and socio-economic progress?
Are individual happiness and well-being worthwhile goals for governments and policy makers?
Does well-being represent a useful parameter to orient planning in physical and mental healthcare, and in public health?
Interdisciplinary studies:
How has the study of happiness developed within and across disciplines?
Can we link philosophical thought and empirical research?
What are the biological correlates of well-being dimensions?
