Many university students experience high levels of study-related fatigue, hence, necessitating opportunities for restoration. They could potentially benefit from campus-based physical activities that provide them with effective restoration breaks and allow them to return to their studies cognitively refreshed. Thus, a cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the association between perceived restorativeness among postgraduates and their psychological well-being by using the four constructs of Kaplan's attention restoration theory (ART): fascination, being away, extent, and compatibility. In this study, nature view windows were also used as a moderator. Malaysian postgraduate students [ = 192; 94 females; age in years ( = 30.64, SD = 2.73)] completed the Ryff's scale of psychological wellbeing (PWB) and perceived restorativeness scale for activity (PRAS). This study used the partial least squares-structural equation model (PLS-SEM) to examine these relationships. The results demonstrate that three ART constructs, namely, being away, fascination, and compatibility, are significant predictors of psychological well-being across the sample size. Furthermore, for participants who reside in university dormitories, windows that overlook nature can enhance the relationship of being away, compatibility, and fascination to psychological well-being, compared with those with less natural views. Thus, this study confirmed the moderating effect of nature view windows and provided insight into the ART constructs that facilitate and enhance restorative experiences. By strengthening ART with additional factors, this study has also contributed toward the improvement of the psychological well-being of university students.
许多大学生都经历着与学习相关的高度疲劳，因此，需要有恢复的机会。他们可能会从校园体育活动中受益，这些活动能为他们提供有效的恢复休息时间，使他们在认知上恢复精力后再回到学习中。因此，进行了一项横断面研究，通过运用卡普兰注意力恢复理论（ART）的四个构念：魅力、置身事外、范围和兼容性，来评估研究生的感知恢复力与其心理健康之间的关联。在这项研究中，自然景观窗也被用作调节变量。马来西亚研究生[样本量 = 192；94名女性；年龄（均值 = 30.64，标准差 = 2.73）]完成了赖夫心理健康量表（PWB）和活动感知恢复力量表（PRAS）。本研究使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS - SEM）来检验这些关系。结果表明，在整个样本量中，ART的三个构念，即置身事外、魅力和兼容性，是心理健康的显著预测因素。此外，对于住在大学宿舍的参与者来说，与自然景观较少的人相比，能俯瞰自然的窗户可以增强置身事外、兼容性和魅力与心理健康之间的关系。因此，本研究证实了自然景观窗的调节作用，并深入了解了促进和增强恢复体验的ART构念。通过用其他因素强化ART，本研究也为改善大学生的心理健康做出了贡献。
