Two and a half thousand people took part in another experiment by British scientists. It was devoted to finding out the human perception of such natural phenomena as sunrise and sunset, rainbows and clear sky.

Experiment participants were shown a few days imitation of such natural phenomena. Experts from the University of Exeter analyzed how this natural and cosmic beauty affects people. About results scientists told in the edition of Journal of Environmental Psychology.

As is often the case with Western experts, they expressed their evaluation algorithm in terms of money. The question formulated specifically: how much money they are willing to give in order to view a certain image.

The highest rating was the pictures that make it possible to witness the sunrise, sunset or rainbow. Respondents said that the sight of these natural phenomena could cause a wow effect, and sometimes awe.

The researchers conclude about the beneficial effect of such landscapes on the nervous system, psyche and mental apparatus of the viewers. It is no wonder that in psychotherapy and auto-training sessions they often use calming music, and such pastoral pictures of nature. They really contribute to relaxation, and, by the way, are available absolutely free of charge.
