In the study, the researchers gave 30 gardeners a difficult, stressful task. After completing the task, researchers measured their cortisol levels. The gardeners self-reported on their mood, or how they felt emotionally.
在这项研究中，研究人员给了30位园丁两个比较困难且有压力的任务 。完成这项任务后，研究人员测量了她们的的皮质醇水平 。园丁们也她们汇报她们的心情如何或情绪感受 。
Then the gardeners were asked to recover by either gardening outdoors or reading indoors for 30 minutes.
然后，园丁们被要求通过到室外做花卉或者在室内看书进行30分钟的恢复 。
Both activities led to lower cortisol levels. However, the decreases were stronger in the gardening group. Also, those who gardened reported that their good moods returned fully. The readers found that their bad moods only got worse.
