Unwinding in Nature
With rising anxiety rates in contemporary society, researchers are exploring affordable, accessible interventions to improve well-being. One popular technique is 'forest bathing'—spending relaxed time in a natural, wooded environment. Researchers want to investigate this by comparing the stress levels of participants who walk in a forest for 30 minutes daily with those who walk in an urban shopping district for the same duration. Stress levels will be measured using a self-report stress rating questionnaire.
