Psychological Responses to Green-Wall Layouts in Office Environments: A Virtual-Environment Study Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, shcool of Art and Design As office practices improve, green walls are increasingly deployed to ease work stress; however, research on whether their overall geometry yields differential individual effects remains limited.In this study, virtual reality was used to construct four office scenarios: curvilinear green wall (CGW), linear green wall (LGW), polyline green wall (PGW), and no green wall (NGW). Restorative effects after stress induction with the MAST were evaluated using two subjective scales, the fatigue scale and the restorative outcome scale. Results showed that all three green-wall forms significantly promoted post-stress psychological recovery at the subjective level. Further comparisons indicated that CGW produced the strongest effect, LGW ranked second, and PGW was relatively weaker. These findings suggest that although green walls generally provide positive restorative benefits, wall morphology is a key moderator in the recovery process, which leads different forms to show differentiated advantages across dimensions of psychological restoration.
