Testing the dimensionality of place attachment and its relationships with place satisfaction and pro-environmental behaviours: A structural equation modelling approach (2013, positive): “…place attachment, conceptualised as community attachment (Brehm, Eisenhauer, & Krannich, 2006) and connectedness to nature was found to be a significant predictor of pro-environmental behavioural intentions in other studies (e.g., Gosling & Williams, 2010; Kals et al., 1999; Mayer & Frantz, 2004).”
The role of climate change risk perception, response efficacy, and psychological adaptation in pro-environmental behavior: A two nation study (2020, background): “Past research (e.g., Devine-Wright, 2013; Gosling & Williams, 2010; Mayer & Frantz, 2004; see also; Mackay & Schmitt, 2019) has shown positive associations between connectedness to nature and each of environmental concern and PEBs.”
Zoo Visitors' Affective Responses to Observing Animal Behaviors (2016, background): “There also is growing evidence that affective factors related to wildlife and nature can impact a person’s willingness to engage in conservation behaviors (e.g., Hinds & Sparks, 2008; Kals, Schumacher, &Montada, 1999; Mayer & Frantz, 2004; Perkins, 2010).”
Exploring Additional Determinants of Environmentally Responsible Behavior: The Influence of Environmental Literature and Environmental Attitudes (2010, background): “Despite its widespread use, several researchers have noted that the NEP is limited in its ability to measure specific environmental concern (Mayer & Frantz, 2004; Stern, Dietz, & Guagnano, 1995) or engagement in specific behaviors (Corral-Verdugo, Bechtel, & Fraijo-Sing, 2003).”
Environmental sustainability and national personality (2014, background): “…to which the self is regarded as part of nature or separate from it is a central issue within the deep ecology movement (Bragg, 1996; Naess, 1973), and is an important predictor of environmental attitudes (Mayer & Frantz, 2004; Nisbet et al., 2009; Schultz, Shriver, Tabanico, & Khazian, 2004).”
Seeing the world through GREEN-tinted glasses: Green consumption values and responses to environmentally friendly products (2013, positive): “As expected, the GREEN measure was significantly (p b .001) correlated with each of the three other measures: SRPD (.54), CNS (.48), and ECCB (.67).”
An occasion for unselfing: Beautiful nature leads to prosociality (2014, background): “For instance, researchers have documented a correlation between exposure to nature and prosocial traits (Mayer & Frantz, 2004; Nisbet, Zelenski, & Murphy, 2009).”
Are Some Natural Environments More Psychologically Beneficial Than Others? The Importance of Type and Quality on Connectedness to Nature and Psychological Restoration (2019, background): “…the environment and individuals, as 2 greater connectedness to nature has been associated with more pro-environmental acts (Hinds & Sparks, 2008; 3 Mayer & Frantz, 2004) as well as better human health and subjective well-being (how individuals think and feel 4 about their lives) in the form of…”
Nature contact, nature connectedness and associations with health, wellbeing and pro-environmental behaviours (2020, methodology): “With moderate positive associations observed between nature contact and nature connectedness (Mayer & Frantz, 2004; Nisbet, Zelenski, & Murphy, 2009), it has been suggested that the two constructs may operate inter-dependently (Gifford, 2014).”
Environmental cognitions, land change, and social–ecological feedbacks: an overview (2013, background): “Scales such as the NEP measure mainly knowledge and values – ‘theoretical’ beliefs – about the environment, which thus not necessarily derive from directly experienced environmental degradation and do not necessarily reflect emotional attitudes (Mayer and McPherson Frantz 2004 ).”
The mediating role of place attachment between nature connectedness and human well-being: perspectives from Japan (2019, background): “Similar to eudaimonic wellbeing, nature connectedness is found to strongly associate with hedonic well-being (often termed as subjective wellbeing) including life satisfaction, positive affect, and happiness (Mayer and Frantz 2004; Nisbet et al.”
What are the Benefits of Interacting with Nature? (2013, methodology): “appreciation, including the Connectedness to Nature Scale [85], the Nature Relatedness Scale [86] and the New Ecological Paradigm [87], and, as well as being used to track the development of nature appreciation, they can be used to test whether nature-oriented participants are more likely to derive”
