To determine whether students who engage in a sedentary task in an urban park-like setting experience improved mood and whether this effect is moderated by mindfulness meditation. 234 (133 females) undergraduate students, who either engaged in outdoor recreation frequently or infrequently. Participants engaged in 20 minutes of mindfulness meditation or a control task, either in a campus park-like setting or in a quiet room indoors. Before and after the activity, total mood disturbance (TMD) was assessed with the Profile of Mood States Questionnaire. Being outside or meditating reduced TMD for those who frequently recreated outside. Those who infrequently recreated outside experienced decreased TMD if they meditated inside and increased TMD if they did not. When outside, TMD decreased regardless of activity. Spending time outside and practicing meditation may be effective approaches for improving college students' mental health, particularly for students who infrequently go outside.
为了确定在城市公园般的环境中从事久坐任务的学生是否会改善情绪，以及这种效果是否受到正念冥想的调节。234 名（133 名女性）大学生，他们要么经常从事户外娱乐活动，要么不经常从事户外娱乐活动。参与者要么在校园公园般的环境中，要么在室内安静的房间里，进行 20 分钟的正念冥想或对照任务。在活动前后，使用心境状态问卷评估总体心境干扰（TMD）。对于经常在户外进行娱乐活动的人来说，在户外或冥想可以降低 TMD。对于不常外出的人来说，如果在室内冥想，TMD 会降低，如果不冥想，TMD 会升高。无论进行何种活动，在户外时 TMD 都会降低。花时间在户外和练习冥想可能是改善大学生心理健康的有效方法，特别是对于不常外出的学生。
