“…More refined methods that assess the qualities within and between scales, such as structural equation modelling (SEM) have become common in psychological research and their use in environmental psychology has been encouraged (Hine, Corral-Verdugo, Bhullar, & Frias-Armenta, 2016;Markevych et al, 2017). With SEM we can assess if and how items within a scale intercorrelate and compare the correlative structures between different groups by a methodology known as measurement invariance (Kline, 2016).…”

Physical activity in natural settings has been found in experimental research to be more restorative than physical activity in built indoor or outdoor settings, yet we lack evidence of this in everyday life. In this study we examined recalled restoration (with the 9-item Restoration Outcome Scale) of the most recent physical activity session in indoor, built outdoor and natural outdoor settings using measurement invariance tests (n=2577). We also compared the relationships between restoration, emotional well-being and frequency of physical activity in these groups. Recalled restoration formed two factors, Restorativeness and Assurance, in all groups, with equal loadings but partly varying item-specific means. Restorativeness was positively connected to emotional well-being in all settings but it did not explain the connection between well-being and physical activity in natural settings. Future studies could explore in more detail how emotional well-being and repeated restoration in different types of environments intertwine.

“…Future research on the influence of museum space can benefit from mobile eye-tracking, as this method enables detecting subtle patterns of attention. Structural equation modeling and hierarchical modeling are appropriate techniques for studying the mediating character of attention (Hine et al, 2016). These methods demonstrated that what traditionally could be interpreted as a poor, "distracted" visitor experience, had little negative impact on the cognitive processing of artworks.…”

How the Visitors’ Cognitive Engagement Is Driven (but Not Dictated) by the Visibility and Co-visibility of Art Exhibits

The spatial arrangement of artworks is recognized as one of the key elements of exhibition design. The underlying assumption is that the layout can strengthen the impact of individual exhibits, because the way visitors visually engage with artworks affects how they are cognitively processed. This paper explores the influence of the exhibits' visual properties on the visitors' attention and their memory of artworks. Attention was recorded with the use of mobile eye-tracking and memory was measured by an unanticipated recognition test immediately after the visit. The paper analyses both the total amount of attention spent on interacting with each artwork, as well as the strategy through which attention was allocated: through primarily longer ("diligent") looks, versus primarily shorter ("distracted") glimpses. Results of two experiments demonstrate that the visibility and co-visibility of artworks affected the amount of attention allocated to them, and the strategy of attention allocation. While the amount of attention contributed to improving the recognition memory of pictures, the strategy of attention allocation did not. These findings demonstrate the power of the exhibition's visual properties to influence the experience of museum visitors but also highlight the visitors' ability to employ alternative viewing strategies without diminishing the cognitive processing of artworks.

“…We conducted a moderation model in a multilevel structural equation modeling (SEM) framework with daily observations clustered within individual caregivers ( Figure 1 ; Hine et al, 2016 ; Matsueda & Press, 2012 ; B. Muthén & Asparouhov, 2011 ). Multilevel SEM allows to examine relationships between variables on multiple levels of observation including latent constructs.…”

Background and Objectives Most persons with dementia experience behavioral and psychological symptoms (BPSD). While there is evidence that structured activity programs can be beneficial for persons with dementia and their caregivers, it is not well understood how joint engagement in shared activities affects BPSD and caregiver stress. The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effect of doing a shared activity on the BPSD and caregiver stress. Research Design and Methods This study used an intensive longitudinal observational design in which caregivers completed baseline and once-a-day diary surveys for 21 days. Caregivers were asked whether they did a pleasant non-care activity with their relative, the presence of eight BPSD, and their stress level. A moderation model in a structural equation model examined the relationship between these variables. Results Our sample consisted of 453 caregivers (87.4% female, 51.4% non-Hispanic white, mean age 53 years [SD: 14]) and person living with dementia whose mean age was 79 years (SD: 9). On days when the caregivers engaged in a shared activity together with person living with dementia, there was a significant decrease in the BPSD (estimate -0.038, SE=0.016, 95% CI: -0.069, -0.007, p value = 0.018). The effects of engaging in a shared activity decreased the impact of caregiver stress by 0.052 (estimate -0.052, SE=0.018, 95% CI: -0.087, -0.017, p value = 0.004). At the between-person level, no differences were found in BPSD across caregivers who engaged or did not engage in shared activities. Discussion and Implications The results of our study indicate that doing a shared activity is associated with reduced BPSD among persons with dementia and may buffer the impact of caregiver stress on BPSD. Shared activities should be considered a key intervention component for dementia caregivers.
