Color and form are closely related to our daily lives and can directly and rapidly affect people's emotions, and it is of great significance to study the effects of color and form of garden plants on the body and mind of urban residents. In this study, the shrub L., which has rich germplasm resources, was selected as the research object. It aims to address the following research questions: how flower colors and flower types of L. affect human physiology and psychology? In this study, we recruited 158 participants to participate in a controlled experiment to quantitatively measure and analyze physiological (heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, electroencephalogram [EEG]) and psychological (anger, panic, nervousness, energy, fatigue, depression, and self-esteem) indices before and after viewing pictures of L. of all colors and flower types, as well as of them in different colony configurations. The results of evaluating physiological indexes and POMS values showed that different types of L. images had different restorative benefits. From the physiological indicators, blood pressure metrics were more sensitive as an evaluation of recovery effects than those of heart rate and oxygen saturation, and stress recovery was more significant after color stimulation than petal category and landscape type. Color, petal type, and landscape configuration type affect relaxation, concentration restoration, and other moods differently reflected by α wave and β wave of EEG. POMS questionnaires showed that viewing different types of picture processes of significantly reduced nervousness, anger, fatigue, depression, panic, and self-esteem, and the effect was significant in males than in females. Our findings provide a theoretical basis and selection for the garden application of L. in a broader sense, intending to improve their health benefits and maximize the restorative effects of urban environments.
色彩和形态与我们的日常生活密切相关，能够直接且迅速地影响人们的情绪，研究园林植物的色彩和形态对城市居民身心健康的影响具有重要意义。在本研究中，选择了具有丰富种质资源的[植物名称]灌木作为研究对象。其目的是解决以下研究问题：[植物名称]的花色和花型如何影响人类的生理和心理？在本研究中，我们招募了158名参与者参与一项对照实验，以定量测量和分析在观看所有颜色和花型的[植物名称]图片以及它们在不同群落配置下的图片前后的生理指标（心率、血压、血氧饱和度、脑电图[EEG]）和心理指标（愤怒、恐慌、紧张、活力、疲劳、抑郁和自尊）。生理指标评估结果和POMS值表明，不同类型的[植物名称]图像具有不同的恢复效益。从生理指标来看，血压指标作为恢复效果的评估比心率和血氧饱和度指标更敏感，并且颜色刺激后的压力恢复比花瓣类别和景观类型更显著。颜色、花瓣类型和景观配置类型对放松、注意力恢复等情绪的影响在脑电图的α波和β波中表现不同。POMS问卷显示，观看不同类型的[植物名称]图片过程显著降低了紧张、愤怒、疲劳、抑郁、恐慌和自尊，且男性的效果比女性更显著。我们的研究结果为[植物名称]在更广泛意义上的园林应用提供了理论依据和选择，旨在提高它们对健康的益处并最大化城市环境的恢复效果。
