1. Nature promotes increased parasympathetic NS function. 2. Attention Restoration Theory (ART)

Nature counteracts the negative psychological effects of stress by increasing
parasympathetic NS function.

The accumulative effects of chronic stress can therefore be short-circuited by this
interaction with nature

Attention Restoration Theory (ART)

ART suggests that interaction with nature is vital for effective mental functioning

Theory differentiates between voluntary and involuntary attention

Voluntary attention refers to the brain’s ability to concentrate. This requires effort and
distractions must be blocked out. This is stressful over a period of time

Involuntary attention is man’s neophilic tendency to be drawn to things that are
interesting & new – this is not an effort and does not create fatigue. It actually allows
the mind to rest.

Physical – reduced pain, decreased autonomic NS stress, enhanced immune function,
decreased recovery time from surgery

Psychologically & emotionally – attention deficit can be restored or minimised,
satisfaction in various kinds of work in increased

Socially – encourages social interaction, reduces frequency of aggressive behaviour

Spiritually – increases one’s sense of purpose and meaning, increases awareness of
one’s physical environment, connectedness with one’s self and connectedness with one’s
natural world.
