Connectedness and its consequences: a study of relationships with the natural environment
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 16:49 authored by Paul Sparks, Joe Hinds, Sue Curnock, Louisa Jane PaveyRecent interest in people's engagement with the natural environment has resulted in a series of empirical measures and important research findings. Two studies reported here complement this literature in producing a concise measure of connectedness to the natural environment and assessing its independent predictive impact within the structure of the theory of planned behavior. In Study 1 (n?=?71), new measures of connectedness and caring were constructed; in Study 2 (n?=?163), the connectedness measure was shown to be an independent predictor of people's intentions to reduce personal energy consumption levels. It is suggested that the measure of connectedness may capture some identity-related and/or affective experience that impacts (independently of more cognitive predictors) upon people's motivation in this domain.
