Stress Reduction Theory
SRT，压力减少理论。由 Ulrich 提出的环境心理学理论，认为人类对历史上代表「安全、资源丰富」的自然环境特征具有先天亲近感，因此接触此类环境会引发即时的生理放松（心率、cortisol 下降等）。
English Definition
"SRT — an environmental psychology theory (Ulrich) positing that humans have an innate affinity for natural features that historically signaled safe, resource-rich habitats; exposure thus triggers immediate physiological calming (e.g., lowered heart rate, cortisol)."
用法说明 · 针对中文母语者
缩写 SRT。常与 ART 并列出现，二者都是 HCI 设计自然干预时常用的理论框架，但机制不同（SRT 关注情绪与生理反应，ART 关注注意力恢复）。
常见错误
- ·缩写 SRT 误当作一般心理学压力理论
- ·忽视其与 ART 在机制上的差别（生理 / 情绪反应 vs. 注意力恢复）

"Attention Retention Theory (ART) and Stress Reduction Theory (SRT) are two other well-known theories that encourage interaction between a person and their environment in order to improve well-being outcomes."
"According to SRT, humans have an innate affinity for certain natural qualities that signal safe, resource-rich habitats in our evolutionary past, and thus exposure to such environments leads to immediate calming and a reduction in stress indicators like heart rate and cortisol."
"Followers of SRT have therefore formalized nature exposure as a health intervention: For instance, Shinrinyoku (forest bathing) in Japan involves slow, mindful walks through forests to foster relaxation and immunity benefits."
"Within SRT, there are several mechanisms by which contact with nature supports well-being psychologically, physically, and socially."
