Over the last few decades research has shown how natural
environments can promote opportunities for psychological
restoration - particularly mood, attention fatigue and stress
recovery. However, little is known about how restoration varies
amongst different people and whether urban settings can also offer
restorative opportunities. This study, therefore, provides new
insights into how restoration varies across different settings, and
how the process varies in different sections of the population. It
offers six studies: two exploring short term restoration in adults
and teenagers with good and poor mental health, one exploring
longer term restoration ('instoration') in teenagers with
behavioural difficulties, and three further studies exploring
teenagers' relationships with place and the associated
opportunities for health and wellbeing. Offering a range of
innovative methods for restorative environment research, this study
will be of interest to environmental psychologists, health
geographers, landscape architects and those from other design
disciplines, as well as health professionals.
