Table 2.

Three measures of nature experiences used in this study; we used the resultant variables as predictor variables in our analysis.

Measure Question Answer scale
Frequency of greenspace (“more immediate” experience) During the last month (i.e., May), how many days in total did you visit neighborhood greenspace (e.g., parks, woodlands, grasslands)? could range from 0 to 31 d
Duration of greenspace (“more immediate” experience) During the last month (i.e., May), how much time did you spend in neighborhood greenspace on an average week? no time; less than 1 h; 1–2 h; 2–4 h; 4–6 h; 6–8 h; 8–10 h; 10–12 h; over 12 h
Green view through windows from home (“less immediate” experience) In your house do you have a green view from the room in which you spend most of your time at home? green view, no green view

For analysis we converted to a continuous variable: (0, 0.5, 1.5, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12).

Green views included roadside trees, garden trees, parks, woodlands.
