| Summary: | This research explores the potential benefits of the presence of a plant in an indoor setting on an
individual's decision making through a random laboratory experiment. More specifically, our paper
presents various findings on the effect of greenery on an individual’s decision-making and cognitive
performance, thus demonstrating the importance of natural elements in the physical environment. Several
tasks in the area of decision-making and cognitive abilities were conducted using the Qualtrics platform
on 81 undergraduates who were randomly assigned under one of the two conditions: (i) an office setting
with a desk plant, or (ii) an office setting with a stationary pot to act as a control for the desk plant. Our
result provides convergent evidence that exposure to greenery resulted in the subjects being more patient
when making their decisions. |
