Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Natural environments, such as coastlines and green spaces, have been shown to improve indices of mental health more than urban or littered natural environments. However, it is still unknown whether coastal environments also alter physiological processes related to the stress-response, and how these effects differ from those of green, urban, and littered environments. Therefore, this study compared the physiological and psychological reactivity of beaches, beaches with litter, green spaces, and urban spaces. A randomized controlled cross-over experiment exposed each participant to two of these environments in virtual reality with sound (beaches and one other). Physiological measures included brain activity, cardiovascular functioning, respiration, muscle tension, skin conductance, and temperature, which were measured with the NeXus-10 MKII and software BioTrace+ from MindMedia. |
