Is greenspace in the eye of the beholder? Exploring perceived and objective greenspace exposure effects on mental health
Our study shows that perceived greenspace exposure may be an integral part of how objective greenspace exposure confers mental health benefits, particularly anxiety. SES may also play a role not just in influencing objective greenspace exposure, but also in shaping peoples' perceptions of greenspace, which are unmeasured in most objective greenspace exposure measures.
