AB  - Contemporary college students are suffering from increasingly serious 
      psychological health problems, such as attention fatigue, psychological stress 
      and negative emotions. A growing body of evidence has revealed that restorative 
      environment design is conducive to psychological health. As the main choice of 
      venue for students' daily activities, campus common spaces are supposed to be 
      restorative to some extent. Given the above, the author studied 22 common spaces 
      in the South China University of Technology (SCUT) Wushan Campus from the 
      perspective of college students' behavioral patterns based on theories pertaining 
      to restorative environments, then constructed a structural equation model (SEM) 
      analyzing the psychologically restorative effects exerted by the characteristics 
      of campus common spaces upon college students through a scale design and 
      questionnaire survey. With the analysis of 478 valid questionnaires, the research 
      found that the characteristics of campus common spaces with psychologically 
      restorative effects mainly comprise the architectural environment, landscape 
      environment, rest facilities and activity facilities. Among them, the 
      characteristics of activity facilities and the landscape environment have the 
      greatest impact on psychologically restorative effects, accounting for 33 and 30% 
      of the total effects, respectively; they are followed by those of the 
      architectural environment, which accounts for 21% of the total effects; those of 
      the rest facilities have the least impact, accounting for 16% of the total 
      effects. The research also found that the characteristics of campus common spaces 
      can both directly influence college students' psychological recovery and produce 
      psychologically restorative effects mediated by college students' behavioral 
      patterns. The mediation effect of college students' behavioral patterns accounts 
      for approximately 41% of the total effect of psychological restoration, in which 
      the psychologically restorative effect of dynamic exercise behaviors is 2.5 times 
      that of static leisure behaviors. The research reveals how the characteristics of 
      campus common spaces promote the psychological restoration of college students, 
      and it provides inspiration for healthy environment design in campus common 
      spaces.
