Urban forest park leisure is a significant means for residents to achieve health and well-being, thus possessing high public health value. However, the relationship between visitors' leisure involvement and perceived health benefits has not been clarified. This study introduced restorative experiences and positive emotions as mediators and place attachment as a psychological moderator, innovatively constructing a stimulus-organism-response-moderator (SORM) integrated model. This moderated mediation model aimed to examine the mechanism through which visitors' leisure involvement influenced perceived health benefits. A field survey was conducted in Fuzhou National Forest Park in Fujian, China, resulting in the collection of 588 valid questionnaires. The results showed that visitors' leisure involvement positively impacted restorative experiences and positive emotions. Restorative experiences and positive emotions completely mediated the indirect relationship between visitors' leisure involvement and perceived health benefits. Place attachment enhanced the impact of restorative experiences on perceived health benefits, thereby positively moderating the mediation effect of restorative experiences. Place attachment also diminished the impact of positive emotions on perceived health benefits, thereby negatively moderating the mediation effect of positive emotions. Therefore, significant differences existed in the psychological processes involved in acquiring perceived health benefits among visitors with different levels of place attachment. Our findings might enrich the existing knowledge of place attachment and forest health benefits, providing valuable references for designing and optimizing urban forest parks.
城市森林公园休闲是居民实现健康和幸福的重要途径，因而具有很高的公共健康价值。然而，游客的休闲参与度与感知到的健康益处之间的关系尚未明确。本研究引入恢复性体验和积极情绪作为中介变量，场所依恋作为心理调节变量，创新性地构建了一个刺激—机体—反应—调节（SORM）整合模型。这个有调节的中介模型旨在探讨游客休闲参与度影响感知健康益处的机制。在中国福建的福州国家森林公园进行了一项实地调查，共收集到588份有效问卷。结果表明，游客的休闲参与度对恢复性体验和积极情绪有积极影响。恢复性体验和积极情绪完全中介了游客休闲参与度与感知健康益处之间的间接关系。场所依恋增强了恢复性体验对感知健康益处的影响，从而正向调节恢复性体验的中介效应。场所依恋也减弱了积极情绪对感知健康益处的影响，从而负向调节积极情绪的中介效应。因此，不同场所依恋水平的游客在获得感知健康益处所涉及的心理过程上存在显著差异。我们的研究结果可能会丰富现有的场所依恋和森林健康益处知识，为城市森林公园的设计和优化提供有价值的参考。
