Researchers of environmental psychology have often suggested that people gain benefits from natural environments, most studies have focused up either ART or people's involvement to settings such as place attachment theory. This study try to fill the gap in the literature between them by investigating the experiences of on-site and experimental samples that shaping their cognition of the settings. This study investigated 3 different natural settings, 231 experimental and 675 on-site samples were collected. Participants also rated their perceived level of naturalness and preference of the setting. In this study the author also tried to test the mediating role of place attachment in environmental restorative potential. The results indicate that legibility holds lower inner consistency in experimental samples, both samples recognize the more natural environments to be more attached and higher percieved retorativeness. Mediating role of place attachment will be further disscussed. Together, these results help substantiate the adaptive function of people’s environmental preferences.
