In a series of four studies (s = 245, 135, 155, 222), we explored the effects of viewing nature scenes on promoting recovery from ostracism. We first manipulated experiences of ostracism, then randomly assigned participants to view photos of either nature, urban scenes, or neutral objects. Across all four studies, participants who viewed nature photos reported significantly lower levels of state social pain, along with significantly higher levels of affect balance and self-esteem. Moreover, when asked to look back and recall how they felt at the time of being ostracized, participants who viewed nature photos reported significantly higher levels of retrospective satisfaction of basic emotional needs than did participants in control conditions. An internal meta-analysis revealed an effect size of = 0.58. These studies are the first, to our knowledge, to provide experimental evidence of how exposure to nature can alleviate the pain of social ostracism.
在四项研究（样本量分别为245、135、155、222）中，我们探究了观看自然场景对促进从被排斥中恢复的影响。我们首先操控被排斥的体验，然后将参与者随机分配去观看自然、城市场景或中性物体的照片。在所有四项研究中，观看自然照片的参与者报告的状态社交痛苦水平显著更低，同时情感平衡和自尊水平显著更高。此外，当被要求回顾并回忆被排斥时的感受时，观看自然照片的参与者报告的基本情感需求的回顾性满意度显著高于对照组的参与者。一项内部荟萃分析显示效应量为0.58。据我们所知，这些研究首次提供了接触自然如何减轻社会排斥痛苦的实验证据。
