TI  - Relation between Psychological Restorativeness and Lifestyle, Quality of Life, 
      Resilience, and Stress-Coping in Forest Settings.

AB  - Previous research has mainly dealt with the physiological and psychological 
      restorative effects of the forest environment. However, comparatively few studies 
      have focused on how the traits and attributes of individuals (individual traits) 
      affect the restorative effects of the forest environment. In this study, we 
      examined the relationships between the psychological restorative effects offered 
      by perceived restorativeness of outdoor settings and the individual traits. Then, 
      we investigated the relationships between the restorative indicators that are 
      useful in examining the restorative properties (i.e., the Perceived 
      Restorativeness Scale (PRS); seven indicators in total), the psychological 
      restorative effect (Profile of Mood States (POMS), Restorative Outcome Scale 
      (ROS), positive and negative affect schedule (PANAS), and Subjective Vitality 
      Scale (SVS); 10 indicators in total), and the individual trait indicators that 
      could be used to investigate individual traits (Development of Health and Life 
      Habit Inventory for lifestyle, Lazarus-type Stress Coping Inventory for stress 
      coping, World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment 26 for quality of 
      life (QOL), and Sukemune-Hiew Resilience test for resilience; 28 indicators in 
      total) in forest and urban settings. Respondents consisted of 46 male students in 
      their twenties. A short-term experiment was conducted using the same method in 
      both environmental settings. We then analyzed the intrinsic restorative 
      properties and the restorative effects of the settings and referred to prior 
      research to determine the restorative effects. Furthermore, we analyzed the 
      relationship between the restorative indicators and the individual trait 
      indicators by correlation analysis and multiple regression (step-wise) analysis. 
      These new findings were obtained: (1) the forest setting was a restorative 
      environment with a higher restorative effect than the urban setting; (2) although 
      the forest setting had a higher restorative effect than the urban setting, and 
      the influence of individual traits was small; (3) in the forest setting, the 
      relationship between the restorative indicators and individual traits indicators 
      were arranged; (4) distancing (Stress coping), psychological health (QOL), and 
      satisfaction with living environment (QOL) were likely important indicators that 
      are related to the restorative effects in the forest setting.
