Journal Article

Background: Previous studies examining threat appraisal and the influence of stress on human performance conclude that a challenge state leads to better performance than a threat state. Despite its potential, threat appraisal, particularly using self...

The Salford Nature Environments Database (SNED): an open-access database of standardized high-quality pictures from natural environments (2024)
Journal Article

The growing interest in harnessing natural environments to enhance mental health, including cognitive functioning and mood, has yielded encouraging results in initial studies. Given that images of nature have demonstrated similar benefits, they are f...
