Predictors of Nature Connection Among Urban Residents: Assessing the Role of Childhood and Adult Nature Experiences (2018, background): “…positive associations between implicitly measured nature connection and nature experiences such as time spent on hiking trails and beaches, whereas there was no significant relationship with time in less “natural” settings such as golf courses, gyms, and libraries (Schultz & Tabanico, 2007).”
The Value of Zoo Experiences for Connecting People with Nature (2008, methodology): “In addition to these traditional self-report measures, connectedness with nature has also been measured implicitly using the Implicit Association Test (IAT) (Bruni & Schultz, under review; Schultz, Shriver, Tabanico, & Khazian, 2004 ; Schultz & Tabanico, 2007 ).”
The relationship between nature connectedness and happiness: a meta-analysis (2014, methodology): “Inclusion of nature in self was developed by Schultz (2001) who adapted the Inclusion of Other in Self scale (Aron et al., 1992) in order “to measure the extent to which an individual includes nature within his or her cognitive representative of self” (Schultz and Tabanico, 2007, p. 1221).”
Evaluating the effects of environmental education programming on connectedness to nature (2011, result): “Similarly, results from Schultz and Tabanico ( 2007 ) indicate that implicit self‐nature associations are malleable, but that change requires long‐term or repeated experiences.”
From Awe to Ecological Behavior: The Mediating Role of Connectedness to Nature (2018, background): “It has been proved that the majority of people have the tendency to associate self with natural world [21].”
Empathy for Animals: A Review of the Existing Literature (2018, background): “© 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 1 Frantz 2004; Myers et al. 2009; Nisbet et al. 2009; Schultz 2000; Schultz and Tabanico 2007; Tam 2013).”
An Exploration of the Relationships between Adults' Childhood and Current Nature Exposure and Their Mental Well-Being (2023, background): “…is associated with stronger connections to nature, both during childhood and later in life (e.g., Bruni & Schultz, 2010; Duffy & Verges, 2010; Howell, Dopko, Passmore, & Buro, 2011; Kals, Schumacher, & Montada, 1999; Mayer et al., 2009; Nisbet et al., 2009, 2011; Schultz & Tabanico, 2007).”
Cooperation is in our nature: Nature exposure may promote cooperative and environmentally sustainable behavior (2015, positive): “Brief exposures to natural settings increase momentary feelings of nature relatedness (Mayer, Frantz, Bruehlman-Senecal, & Dolliver, 2008; Nisbet & Zelenski, 2011; Schultz & Tabanico, 2007).”
Into the Wild: The Effects of 360° Immersive Nature Videos on Feelings of Commitment to the Environment (2019, background): “Implicit measures, such as the implicit association test, examine more automatic processes that are fast, involuntarily, and effortless (Geng et al., 2015; Schultz & Tabanico, 2007).”
Nature-based environmental education of children: Environmental knowledge and connectedness to nature, together, are related to ecological behaviour (2017, background): “For instance, exposure to nature as opposed to an urban environment (Mayer et al., 2009), repeated visits to natural areas (Schultz and Tabanico, 2007), and also having nature close to home (Cheng and Monroe, 2012) are all positively related to connectedness to nature.”
Applying the pathways to nature connectedness at a societal scale: a leverage points perspective (2020, background): “Although time in nature is linked to short-term increases (e.g. Mayer et al. 2009), simple contact with greenspaces such as parkland (Arbuthnott et al. 2014), or a vegetated courtyard (Schultz and Tabanico 2007) do not always lead to short-term improvements in nature connectedness.”
Getting to know nature: evaluating the effects of the Get to Know Program on children’s connectedness with nature (2017, methodology): “Not only is connectedness with nature related to proenvironmental attitudes and actions, but it also appears to be malleable through experiences in selected settings that focus on the natural environment (e.g. zoos and hiking trails; Bruni, Fraser, and Schultz 2008; Schultz and Tabanico 2007).”
Connecting students to nature – how intensity of nature experience and student age influence the success of outdoor education programs (2017, background): “…2003; Kaiser, roczen, and Bogner 2008; Mayer and Frantz 2004; Müller, Kals, and Pansa 2009; Nisbet, Zelenski, and Murphy 2009; raudsepp 2005; Schultz and Tabanico 2007) we suggest that extended outdoor environmental education programs have a higher efficacy in provoking long-term shifts in…”
