The mediating role of environmental restorativeness between vegetation levels and physical activity intention: a photo-based experimental study
Findings identify environmental restorativeness as a key psychological pathway linking vegetation to physical activity motivation and suggest that enhancing restorative qualities may be a practical strategy for green-space design to promote activity. Generalizability is limited by the student sample and simulated scenes; future work should recruit more diverse populations and use ecologically valid environments.
