The Influence of Physical Burden on the Esthetic Preference for Green Natural Environment

Abstract

The perception of beauty is known to be associated with the bodily sensations and evolutionary implications. However, whether the esthetic preference for natural landscape environments with different evolutionary benefits changes on the basis of different degrees of bodily sensations is still an open issue. The present study used four experiments to address this issue. The results showed that participants wearing a heavy backpack gave higher esthetic scores to and generate a strong attentional bias toward the green natural landscapes. Furthermore, the implicit association test (IAT) revealed that a green natural landscape was more readily associated with a high level of relaxation when the participants wore a backpack. The results indicated that the bodily sensation of a physical burden modulates the esthetic preference for natural environments when they consist of green plants, which are associated with a high level of relaxation and have significant evolutionary implications.

Systematic review: pain, cognition, and cardioprotection—unpacking oxytocin’s contributions in a sport context

“…Clarifying the relationships of these variables and then later optimizing for the secretion of oxytocin may be useful data for medicine, sports science, and education. Although there is not much data on visual stimuli, and accommodation periods connected to oxytocin with exercise; studies mention these variables as parts of other protocols ( Cavalleri et al, 2011 ; Farzinpour et al, 2019 ; Bhumbra et al, 2009 ; Ataka et al, 2012 ; Ueno et al, 2019 ; Liu et al, 2022 ) warranting further exploration on the subject. The controlled environments in animal studies offer valuable insight into how the behavior of oxytocin may be changed in Long-Evans (LE), SD, W rats, and mice that carry a knock-out allele for the Nms gene.…”

“…When under stress caused by exercise, W rats produce the adrenocorticotropic hormone, in response to which oxytocin is also secreted as a buffer in the stress response. However, in humans, this might be dependent on the stress scenario, the environment, genetic profiles, early life experiences, and nutrition ( Takahashi et al, 2022 ; Liu et al, 2022 ; Scarola et al, 2019 ; Skinner et al, 2019 ; Cai et al, 2023 ; Ebner et al, 2005 ; Noto et al, 2021 ; Weisman et al, 2013 ). At the same time, individual variations will contribute to how much stress gets reduced by oxytocin ( Fitzpatrick and Morrow, 2020 ; Sonne and Gash, 2018 ).…”
