The change from summer to fall may present challenges for some, but research shows the same shifts evoke positive feelings in many ways.More specifically, rich autumnal landscapes, opportunities to start fresh, and holiday spirit are major reasons many look forward to fall. The Colorful Landscapes Previous research has shown that nature may significantly boost people's well-being and mental health.According to the American Psychological Association's Monitor on Psychology magazine, the benefits may include lower stress levels, improved moods, and increased empathy and cooperation. Most research concerning nature's effects on people focuses on green landscapes, but scientists have recently started to uncover how the colors of autumn terrains may also affect mood. A study in the journal PLOS ONE, conducted by researchers from Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University in China, examined the therapeutic effects of different senses when people are exposed to autumn-colored foliage and barren tree fields.They hypothesized that visual and auditory stimuli of these landscapes would greatly impact physiological and psychological responses. To test this theory, scientists monitored 320 college students' heart rates and brain activity as they experienced the sounds and sights of different landscapes through VR devices.Some participants only watched visual stimuli (vibrant autumnal settings or bare-tree scenes). Other students only listened to high-resolution recordings of calming nature sounds that fit either setting, and some volunteers watched leaf-filled or bare-tree environments while listening to nature sounds.Then, they all answered questionnaires to describe their psychological status. The researchers found that exposure to colorful fall landscapes generally resulted in less stress than in bare tree settings and a control group.Multicolored landscapes positively impacted psychological and physiological changes.As the scientists put it, "Within the color evaluation of autumn landscapes, factors like the primary autumn color, color saturation, and brightness play essential roles [in recovery effects]." Starting with a Clean Slate People may see the beginning of a year as an opportunity for a fresh start, but others view fall in the same way. The season is a temporal landmark, meaning it changes our perspective on time and signifies a change in our lives.This mentality can be traced back to childhood.The excitement kids get from starting school in the fall often sticks with people in adulthood.Such attitudes can lead to more motivation and uplifted spirits during the season. The Importance of Holidays, Nostalgia, and Associations Never underestimate the power of gatherings.Griffiths, a licensed clinical psychologist at Chapman University, says that fall is often "associated with things that are related to social connection.""Sometimes, people associate [fall] with the feeling of comfort, warmth, safety, or belonging to a group," she says. Spending time with those we care about during the holidays often triggers nostalgia, which Griffiths says may improve psychological health and our ability to adapt to different situations.Social connections are essential to well-being and emotional health; fall is normally when people start to rekindle close relationships through holiday gatherings. ![]() ![]() |
