Mental health benefits of urban green—A systematic review and meta‐analysis of 56 pre‐post control experiments
Background . Fostering healthy urban living conditions is a critical public health objective. One efficient approach lies in the contact to nature, as numerous studies have shown that urban and peri‐urban natural elements both indoors and outdoors carry a large potential in buffering typical urban threats to mental health. However, few studies have summarised these effects with a quantitative, meta‐analytic approach. Methods . We employed a meta‐…
Fostering Creativity Through Game‐Based Approaches: A Scoping Review
Given the increasing emphasis on game‐based approaches (GBAs) and the critical importance of cultivating creativity, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive examination of this emerging interdisciplinary field. The present study employs a scoping review methodology to provide an overview of the existing research that utilized GBAs as a means to foster creativity. Specifically, this article presents a scoping review of 61 studies published bet…
Psychological restoration in urban gardens related to garden type, biodiversity and garden-related stress
In the context of increasing urbanization, gardens as a form of urban greenspace are an important resource for the psychological restoration of urban dwellers, while underpinning urban biodiversity and delivering ecosystem services. However, the links between restoration, garden type and biodiversity are not fully understood. In this interdisciplinary study we aimed to identify how the self-reported restoration of gardeners was related to three f…
Contact to Nature Benefits Health: Mixed Effectiveness of Different Mechanisms
How can urban nature contribute to the reduction of chronic stress? We twice measured the concentration of the “stress hormone” cortisol in the hair of 85 volunteer gardeners (six months apart), relating cortisol level change to (self-reported) characteristics of their recreational activities. Both time spent in nature and physical activity led to decreases in cortisol, while time spent being idle led to an increase. At high levels of present str…
