A Psychoevolutionary Approach to Identifying Preferred Nature Scenes With Potential to Provide Restoration From Stress

Abstract: IFS was supported as a framework for identifying nature scenes that people will generally prefer to view and that hold potential for restoration from emotional distress; however, greater therapeutic potential may be expected when people can choose which of the scenes they would prefer to view. Evidence for the effectiveness of the IFSS was produced.

“…The most prominent of these themes for most-liked scenes was peacefulness/relaxation/calmness, which is consistent with the psycho-evolutionary proposition that preference may play an adaptive role in attracting people to environments that provide relief from stress (Herzog et al, 2003). This theme is also consistent with the strong relationship found by Thake et al (2017) between preference and potential for restoration from stress.…”

“…A correlational study ( N = 40) upheld the usefulness of the IFSS for its intended purpose, finding significant positive relationships between IFS (as quantified using the IFSS) and each of scene preference (large effect) and restoration potential (medium effect). Thus, the IFSS was found to be useful for selecting a database of nature scene images that people generally like to view and that also hold potential for restoration from stress (Thake et al, 2017).…”

“…These intergenerational and family images with clear unambiguous emotional expressions were chosen to make it easier for PwD to recognize the emotions of the characters and empathize, sympathize and interact with them (McAllister et al, 2020), and give a feeling of warmth and belonging (see Figure 2). Nature scenes were included as well, to elicit emotions of calmness and enjoyment (Gamble et al, 2014;Thake et al, 2017).…”

“…An intact association between implicit and explicit cognitive functions are required in order to successfully decipher and interact with the social environment around us. As PwD show changes in social cognition (Snowden et al, 2003;Poveda et al, 2017) it can further impair their quality of life. Indeed, PwD may display difficulties in understanding social cues or recognizing emotions (Phillips et al, 2010).…”

“…In this issue, Thake, Bambling, and Edirippulig ( in press ) examine nature imagery in their article, A Psychoevolutionary Approach to Identifying Preferred Nature Scenes with Potential to Provide Restoration from Stress . Many researchers have used nature imagery as a substitute for “real nature” (real plants and/or nature-rich outdoor settings) to explore its restorative potential (e.g., Heerwagen & Orians, 1986; Pati, O’Boyle, Hou, Nanda, & Ghamari, 2016; Ulrich, Lunden, & Eltinge, 1993).…”
