Abstract

Ostracism is a socially painful and detrimental experience commonly suffered in daily life. The objective of this study is to examine the possible restorative effects that visual exposure to nature has on adolescents who suffer from ostracism. We conducted a 2 (Ostracism: social exclusion/inclusion) x 2 (Environmental condition: natural; non-natural) x 3 (Time: baseline; manipulation; intervention) experiment. We measured positive affect, perceived social competence, and attention at three different time periods. At T0, baseline levels were measured; at T1, ostracism was induced; and at T2, restoration was induced via the presentation of natural stimuli and non-natural stimuli. Participants were 304 Spanish adolescents (Mage = 14.66 years; SD = 1.39). Our findings show that participants' positive affect and perceived social competence were depleted in the social exclusion condition but attention remained virtually the same. From T1 to T2, ostracized participants' positive affect and perceived social competence improved after exposure to nature scenes. Attention improved independently of the kind of stimuli participants were exposed to, probably due to a learning effect. Altogether, these findings suggest that visual nature exposure can be a potential positive mechanism for adolescents to recover diminished resources due to social ostracism.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-04:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 9.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 9 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 33.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 6 (Altmetric).
  • The number of mentions in news outlets: 3 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
Continuing with the social impact of the work, it is important to emphasize that, due to its content, it can be assigned to the area of interest of ODS 5 - Gender Equality, ODS 10 - Reduce inequality within and among countries, with a probability of 41% according to the mBERT algorithm developed by Aurora University.
