“…It is also analyzed as a mediator between nature connection and stress (Bakir-Demir et al, 2021 ) or as a mediator between motives for visiting natural spaces and that natural contact, in relation to effects on physical and mental health (Korpela et al, 2020 ; Zhang et al, 2022 ; Sallay et al, 2023 ; Theodorou et al, 2023 ). Conversely, other studies position emotional regulation as a dependent variable that is influenced by the environment or the use of the environment (Johnsen and Rydstedt, 2013 ; Richardson and McEwan, 2018 ; Fido et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Secondly, only three studies used a sample from the general population. In the study by Fido et al ( 2020 ), a power analysis was conducted beforehand to determine the appropriate sample size, and participants over the legal age were recruited through online surveys. In the study by Johnsen and Rydstedt ( 2013 ), visitors and hikers in rural areas were evaluated through on-site surveys.…”

“…They also indicate that there is an indirect effect of nature contact on stress when emotional regulation strategies are adaptive. From the work of Fido et al ( 2020 ), it can be inferred that connection with nature influences the use of cognitive reappraisal strategies, a type of emotional regulation that is more adaptive than others, such as expressive suppression. Additionally, Richardson and McEwan ( 2018 ) find that establishing a connection with nature is strongly associated with an adequate emotional regulation.…”

“…Second, Theodorou et al ( 2023 ) emphasize the use of only one type of emotional regulation strategy, which similarly affects the comparison of results and their generalizability. Furthermore, the use of self-report measures is highlighted as a limitation by two of the articles analyzed (Fido et al, 2020 ; Zhang et al, 2022 ), along with the associated limitations in ensuring the validity and reliability of research results.…”

IntroductionExposure to natural environments, such as parks, forests, and green areas, is often linked to a decrease in stress, anxiety and depression, while contributing to improved emotional wellbeing. These observations are supported by well-established theories, such as the Stress Reduction Theory and Attention Restoration Theory, which highlight the psychological benefits of interacting with nature. However, the relationship between exposure to nature and emotions, and in particular, with emotional regulation, is an evolving aspect of research with no clear conclusions. Emotional regulation can be deliberate in nature, where individuals voluntarily participate in modifying various aspects of their emotions, such as their type, intensity, quality or duration. Alternatively, it may be automatic, originating from sensory perception and acting without full awareness, but significantly influencing emotional experiences. In this context, the environmental self-regulation hypothesis, suggests that people consciously or unconsciously use their physical environment to regulate their emotions.MethodTo analyze the evidence of the relationship between contact with nature and emotional regulation, we conducted this review. Using the PRISMA statement as a reference, we conducted keyword searches in five databases in the period between 2013 and 2023. The databases selected were Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), PubMed, PsycINFO and ScienceDirect.ResultsIn addition, a manual search was carried out of journals in the research field. Initially, from which gray literature, reviews and duplicates were removed in a first step. The resulting articles were then filtered using their titles and abstracts. Subsequently, the abstracts of the 25 selected articles were reviewed and discussed by researchers to reach a final decision based on consensus about the adequacy of each paper. Finally, nine articles were included in the systematic review.DiscussionIn general terms, this review suggests that research on the relationship between contact with nature and emotional regulation provides valuable insights into how natural environments can contribute to the emotional wellbeing and physical and mental health of the population.

“…On the other hand, several other studies only reported a significant link between connectedness to nature and positive emotions (Mayer et al, 2009;Nisbet and Zelenski, 2011;Zelenski and Nisbet, 2012) or adaptive emotion regulation strategies (Fido et al, 2020;Bakir-Demir et al, 2021). Furthermore, the literature on place identity is consistent in considering that place attachment, which represents the affective dimension of place identity, develops for those places in which the person feels comfortable and secure (Hidalgo and Hernandez, 2001).…”

IntroductionUrbanization processes are constantly increasing, and most of the European population currently live in urban areas. Nevertheless, evidence is consistent in highlighting the positive association between nature exposure and human wellbeing, although individual differences might affect this association.MethodsThe present study aimed to investigate the association among nature connectedness, conceptualized as Love and Care for Nature, place identity, and physical wellbeing, via restorativeness and positive and negative affect. A total of 312 visitors of an urban green area (i.e., Milan’s Parco Nord) participated in the study. They completed an anonymous questionnaire.ResultsFindings showed that nature connectedness and place identity positively affect physical wellbeing, via restorativeness and positive affect, but not through the negative ones.DiscussionResults highlight the importance of the joint role of exposure to nature and individual differences in promoting wellbeing. This study offers implications for interventions aimed at enhancing individuals’ health through exposure to nature. Limitations of the study and future research developments are discussed.
