Kjellgren, A. & Buhrkall, H. (2010) A comparison of the restorative effect of a natural environment with that of a simulated natural environment. Journal of Environmental Psychology, vol 30 issue 4, 464 – 472.
This study compared a natural environment with a simulated natural environment on stress reduction in individuals suffering from stress and / or burnout syndrome. Results suggest both a natural environment and a simulated natural environment reduce stress, with a natural environment also bringing increased energy.
We suggest that this study supports our idea that using Nature Stress Relief video to simulate a natural environment in your home can reduce your stress, especially when you may be unable to access a natural environment conveniently.
