One of the exercises we ask people to do is to close their eyes and create some mental imagery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So we started having this idea &#8211; what if we give people actual photographs to look at.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Using photographs was a natural progressing for the project, due to the fact that some people find it extremely difficult to conjure up soothing images without any visual stimulation. Dr Chan, decided to reach out to the public and ask them to submit photographs so that they cab be collated and tested for efficacy in a scientific setting. Below are some of the images used in the study to test their impact on people&#8217;s moods.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_109707&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 849px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-109707\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2_set_21_349.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"829\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/2_set_21_349.jpg 829w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/2_set_21_349.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/2_set_21_349.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/2_set_21_349.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 829px) 100vw, 829px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Photographs of animals can have a calming effect on people&#8217;s attitudes<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_109706&quot;

So far, the team at Edinburgh University has identified five types of images that seem to have the most positive, soothing effects on people &#8211; animals, skies, trees and floral images, water and landscapes.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, photographs of people seem to have the opposite or at least a less calming effect on individuals. Dr Chan has suggested a possible reason for this: &#8220;When it comes to human faces, they normally connect to some kind of personal relationship.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When relationships go well this is one of the best protective factors against mental health problems.
