The impacts of micro-scale dynamic geographical contexts on residents'momentary mood:The moderating effects of activity attributes
As a supportive environment closely related to the daily life of residents,geographical environment exposure derived from the activity space and its influences on mood has attracted considerable attention.Some studies to date have mainly examined the direct effects of environmental exposure on mood state based on macro and static geographic contexts(e.g.,residential neighborhoods,cities).However,few studies have estimated the level of environmental exposure derived from individual activity space and its direct impacts on momentary mood from a micro and dynamic perspective.They also tend to ignore the moderating effects of activity attributes on the associations between geographical environment exposure and momentary mood.To this end,this study collects measured data(real-time environments,Ecological Momentary Assessment(EMA)records,GPS trajectories,and activity logs)in various activity spaces from 131 participants in Guangzhou,China,and then employs the hierarchical linear modeling to analyze the direct effects and moderating mechanisms of"internal inherent attributes(demographic and socioeconomic characteristics)"and"external contextual factors(micro-scale dynamic environmental exposures and activity attributes)"on participants'momentary mood.The findings indicate that:(1)There are significant differences in the momentary mood of residents with different genders and education levels.(2)Compared with demographic and socioeconomic characteristics,environmental exposure(i.e.,temperature,relative humidity,PM25 concentrations,noise,surrounding population size,environmental safety)derived from people's activity space has a stronger explanatory power on the variations in momentary mood.Optimizing the environmental exposure in people's daily activity space can directly improve their mood state,such as appropriately raising the temperature(in winter),decreasing noise level,and enhancing environmental safety.(3)Individual activity attributes(i.e.,adjustable activity,activity companion)exert significant moderating effects between some environmental factors(i.e.,temperature,noise,environmental safety)and momentary mood.Thus,the positive effects of environmental exposure on people's momentary mood can be enhanced and the mood risks caused by environmental pollution can be reduced through adjusting activity attributes.This paper has significant implications for enriching the knowledge of environmental mood effects and providing more refined and humanistic strategies for activity space planning and environmental optimization.
