On the Determinants of Pro-Environmental Behavior: A Literature Review and Guide for the Empirical Economist (2019, background): “One limitation in these studies about CN is that the used scale is discussed controversially (Perrin and Benassi, 2009).”
Predictors of Nature Connection Among Urban Residents: Assessing the Role of Childhood and Adult Nature Experiences (2018, background): “There is debate in the literature about what components each of the nature connection scales measure (Perrin & Benassi, 2009; Tam, 2013).”
A Measure of Nature Connectedness for Children and Adults: Validation, Performance, and Insights (2019, background): “Each measure approaches the construct from a slightly different perspective, with some debate regarding how measures might tap into beliefs people hold about their connection to nature, rather than an individual’s affective relationship [16].”
Exploring potential mechanisms involved in the relationship between eudaimonic wellbeing and nature connection (2017, unknown): “The affective domain of this relationship is the most commonly assessed and is reported to be measured by all three of the above mentioned scales, although this is debated in the literature, particularly for the ‘Connection to Nature Scale’ (Perrin & Benassi, 2009).”
The extended Inclusion of Nature in Self scale (2016, background): “Because it can be assumed that the CNS is a mostly cognitive measure (Perrin & Benassi, 2009), we included the LCN to tap more emotional aspects of people’s environmental relation as well.”
Employee workplace spirituality and pro-environmental behavior in the hotel industry (2018, background): “This study did not differentiate between the emotional and cognitional connectedness discussed by Perrin and Benassi (2009); therefore, it is suggested that future research consider embedding these variables in the model to measure separately the influences of each of these conditions on employees’…”
The relationship between nature connectedness and happiness: a meta-analysis (2014, methodology): “As previously mentioned, nature connectedness consistently predicts pro-environmental attitudes and concern about the environment (Mayer and Frantz, 2004; Leary et al., 2008; Nisbet et al., 2009; Tam, 2013a).”
The NR-6: a new brief measure of nature relatedness (2013, background): “Nature relatedness and biospheric concern are associated with less self-interest and more consideration of the larger environment, in other words, more environmental concern (Schultz, 2000; Mayer and Frantz, 2004; Dutcher et al., 2007) and self-reported environmental behavior (Schultz, 2001, 2002; C”
Nature Contact and Human Health: A Research Agenda (2017, background): ““Nature connectedness” and/or awareness may be important (and highly culture-specific) mediators of “dose,” and through it of health benefits (Cervinka et al. 2012; Lin et al. 2014; Perrin and Benassi 2009).”
Evaluating the effects of environmental education programming on connectedness to nature (2011, result): “Implications The research surrounding connectedness and related terms suggest this is a relatively stable construct; according to Schultz et al. (2004), ‘Our results show a moderate degree of stability in connectedness across time’ (41).”
Where do biospheric values come from? A connectedness to nature perspective (2017, background): “While the CNS Scale and the INS are arguably cognitive measures (Perrin & Benassi, 2009; Tam, 2013a), the LCN Scale may capture connectedness to nature on a more emotional level.”
Engagement with natural beauty moderates the positive relation between connectedness with nature and psychological well-being (2014, background): “For instance, Perrin and Benassi (2009) conducted a content analysis of the connectedness with nature items and showed that they do not focus on emotional connection but rather is a cognitive assessment of people’s belief about their connection to nature.”
