Moderating effects of pro-environmental self-identity on pro-environmental intentions and behaviour: A multi-behaviour study (2017, positive): “In this regard, some authors (e.g., Chawla & Derr, 2012; Cheng & Monroe, 2012) showed that a closer relationship with the natural environment increases pro-environmental selfidentity and consequently its pro-environmental behaviours.”
Extinction of experience: the loss of human–nature interactions (2016, background): “Indeed, the beliefs and lifestyles of those in the same society as a child – such as their family, peers, and school teachers – are likely to infl uence the extent to which the child has an emotional affi nity to and experiences with nature (Milligan and Bingley 2007 ; Cheng and Monroe 2012 ).”
The Relationship Between Nature Connectedness and Eudaimonic Well-Being: A Meta-analysis (2019, background): “The Connection to Nature Index (CNI) (Cheng and Monroe 2012) comprises four dimensions: enjoyment of nature, empathy for nature, sense of oneness and sense of responsibility, and the Commitment to Nature scale (COM) (Davis et al.”
Nature as children's space: A systematic review (2017, neutral): “Whereas some studies employed existing scales to measure children’s environmental attitudes and behavior, three studies sought to develop measures of connection to nature (Cheng & Monroe, 2012; Evans, Brauchle, et al., 2007; Yilmaz, Boone, & Andersen, 2004).”
Effect of frequency and mode of contact with nature on children's self-reported ecological behaviors (2015, background): “Several authors have demonstrated that gratifying direct exposure to nature increases people's emotional connection to it (Cheng & Monroe, 2012; Collado et al., 2013; Hinds & Sparks, 2008) and this emotional link is a predictor of pro-environmental behavior (Müller et al., 2009).”
Empathy for Animals: A Review of the Existing Literature (2018, background): “Chen-Hsuan Cheng and Monroe (2012) found the students’ connection to nature, including empathy for creatures, was positively associated with the amount of time spent in nature during the Lagoon Quest program at Brevard Zoo.”
Environmental psychology matters. (2014, background): “Children who spend time in nature are more likely to engage in proenvironmental behavior as adults (Cheng & Monroe 2012); this is more true when the time is spent in “wilder” than in “domesticated” nature (Wells & Lekies 2006).”
Connectedness as a Core Conservation Concern: An Interdisciplinary Review of Theory and a Call for Practice (2014, methodology): “engage with nature [98, 159], including children’s intention to participate in nature-based activities in the future [101].”
