A study suggests that spending time in nature changes our values.

Of course, to test this they...had people sit inside and look at pictures of nature.

One wonders what the results would have looked like had they encouraged people to actually leave the building.

That threw me, too. I'm like, wait, what? Still, I'd like to think that there would have been an even stronger correlation between 'actual nature' and 'being less of a jerk' :P

I wonder if you can 'apply' nature to people... we could water them?

I choose to believe the chances of getting people to come back in and do surveys was so low they didn't take the risk!
