Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the differences in physiological and psychological effects between artificial and natural plants. Artificial and natural plant pots consisting of the same species and forms were prepared, and 40 subjects were asked to look at these plants for 3 min, and psychological responses were measured. Semantic differential, profile of mood states, and positive and negative affect schedule were used as psychological response measurement scales. As a result, regardless of the difference in plant material, as plants were viewed, negative emotions decreased in psychological terms. This result suggests that artificial plants can replace natural plants and that the use of artificial plants can be improved if planting natural plants is difficult because there is no difference in the psychological effects provided by artificial and natural plants.
