Plants Promoting Happiness : The Affective Influences of Plants on Human Emotion
Biophilia is the phenomenon that human interaction with nature can increase their positive affect. In an ever-growing world of urbanization that is dominated by man-made structures, greenery and natural elements are slowly being erased from our visual canvas. The present study sought to discover whether adding plants to the floor of an urban building, specifically the CIRS building in UBC, can arouse the effects of biophilia and increase feelings of happiness and decrease feelings of sadness within the building’s patrons. Participants of the study were asked to fill out a Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE) survey under the control condition, where no plants were introduced to the interior of the building, and the plant condition, where we introduced plants to a floor of the building. The results indicated that the introduction of plants into the CIRS building did little to nothing to increase their feelings of happiness or to decrease their feelings of sadness, a finding that is inconsistent with the biophilia phenomenon and to previous research that studied its effects.
