چکیده انگلیسی


• The findings support the validity of the preference matrix.
• Natural character was a positive predictor of scene attractiveness.
• Built character and low levels of familiarity predicted scenic quality negatively.
• Coherence and complexity interact in predicting scenic quality.
• The size and type of the relationship varied between predictor variables.

Previous research has provided inconclusive support for the preference matrix; a psychological framework of landscape aesthetics rooted in a long tradition of studying scenic quality. Given recent insights into the important implications that aesthetics have for health and well-being, the aim of the present study was to re-assess the validity of the preference matrix following the implementation of a series of methodological improvements. These entailed: a set of item definitions piloted for high comprehension; adequate statistical control for confounding influences by scene content and user experience; a substantially sized, highly varied image database; and the employment of statistical instruments to formally test for nonlinear relationships. An ordinal mixed effects model provides convergent evidence for our hypothesis that each of predictors in the preference matrix is independently predictive of scene aesthetics. In addition, we find support for an interaction between the constructs of Coherence and Complexity and show that levels of both natural and built character, as well as familiarity, are uniquely predictive of scene attractiveness. The present findings underline the role of the preference matrix as a potential tool in informing evidence-based design.
