本研究以認知模式(Cognitive Paradigm)理論爲概念,運用心理生理學(Psychophysiological)的測量方式,探討不同景觀型態之刺激源,對於注意力恢復能力(Attention Restoration)與生理指標肌電值(Electromyographic,EMG)間的相關性,以期對於未來在景觀評估的研究上能夠尋求一個明確而有效益的指標。經驗證分析結果顯示,受測者對不同的城鄉景觀在“注意力恢復能力“的心理感受程度上,以對自然景觀爲最高,農村景觀次之,而都市日常生活空間爲最低。此與Kaplan(Kaplan and Kaplan, 1989; Kaplan, 1995)等人及Herzog等人(Herzog et al., 1997)的研究均有一致性的論證結果,顯示自我評估式的問卷調查可爲一有效的測量評估工具。在生理指標-肌電反應上,對於不同城鄉景觀型態環境之刺激結果並無顯著差異,而在心理感受程度與生理反應之間相關性亦未達顯著水準。在個人特質的影響上,則不因個人特質的加入而影響不同景觀型態刺激對心理感受程度與生理指標-肌電反應之結果。
The Influences of Landscape Types on the Physical and Psychological Reaction: A Study on the Electromyographic and Attention Restoration This study uses the cognitive paradigm as the conceptual theory bases. It also applies the Psychophysiological measurement to depict the relationships between Attention Restoration and the Electromyographic. Earlier studies have shown that different landscape types will induce different psychological responses through the visual perception. However, few studies discussed the relationships between landscape types and respondents physical response. Therefore, the purposes of this study were: 1) To investigate psychological responses to different urban-rural landscapes. 2) To investigate physical responses to different urban-rural landscapes. 3)To investigate the relationships between psychological and physical response to different urban- rural landscapes. The result of the experiment shows that the natural landscape has the highest Attention Restoration Score, followed by rural landscape, and the urban landscape has the lowest score. This result is consistent with the findings of Kaplan (Kaplan and Kaplan, 1989 Kaplan, 1995 and Herzog (Herzog et al, 1997). The self-evaluate questionnaire was tested and proved to be a valid tool for measuring respondents' attention restoration ability. The physical indicator, the Electromyographic (EMG), shows no statistically significant differences between different urban-rural landscapes. The relationship between psychological and physical response to different urban-rural landscapes can not pass the statistical significant test ether. Personal characteristics have no influential effects both on the relationship between landscape types and psycho- logical response and the relationships between landscape types and physical response.
