“…Conteúdo dos itens Saturação com estudos anteriores os quais adaptaram a ECN para outros contextos socioculturais (Olivos et al, 2011;Perrin & Benassi, 2009). No entanto, ao comparar os coeficientes de consistência interna de pesquisas anteriores foi verificado que alguns se diferenciaram estatisticamente dos do presente estudo, o que pode sugerir uma flutuação amostral e, ainda, alguma especificidade que sinaliza a oportunidade para mais pesquisas (Hakstian & Whalen, 1976;Kim & Feldt, 2008).…”

ResumoEste artigo objetivou reunir evidências de validade e precisão da Connectedness to Nature Scale no contexto brasileiro. Dois estudos foram realizados. No Estudo 1, participaram 204 pessoas com idade média de 33 anos (Desvio-Padrão = 13,83), as quais responderam a referida escala e perguntas demográficas. Os resultados de uma análise de componentes principais indicaram uma estrutura unifatorial (α = 0,81). No Estudo 2, participaram 220 estudantes universitários com idade média de 23 anos (Desvio-Padrão = 5,82), os quais responderam a escala adaptada e perguntas demográficas. Uma análise fatorial confirmatória (estimador ML) confirmou a adequação da estrutura unifatorial (e.g., Comparative Fit Index = 0,91, Root-Mean-Square Error of Approximation = 0,064), obtendo consistência interna satisfatória (α = 0,83). Concluindo, a Connectedness to Nature Scale mostrou ser uma medida psicometricamente adequada para avaliar um fator geral de conexão com a natureza, podendo ser empregada em estudos futuros.

“…The connectedness to nature scale (CNS) is the instruments that have developed and validated in measurement of positive outcomes of human emotional connection to the natural world (Mayer and Frantz, 2004). Researchers based on this viewpoint support the idea that a sense of connection to nature is a significant predictor of human health and subjective well-being (Nisbet et al, 2011;Perrin and Benassi, 2009). …”

Contact with nature is suggested to be as an important resource for human health and well-being. Stress alleviation and reduction of mental fatigue are main instances of improvement of human health and well-being in contact with nature. Although the term restoration experience in contact with nature has been used repeatedly for concepts of stress alleviation and reduction of mental fatigue, these refer to different sets of theories and research studies. In this paper, by reviewing the nature-health related theories of Biophilia, Stress Recovery Theory, Attention Restoration Theory and Supportive Environment Theory (SET), the similarities and differences between these two concepts have been discussed. Moreover, the measurement approach instruments based on different study methodologies and aims are provided. This paper could provide information for future studies with focus on factors to be of benefit for restoration experience in design and planning of natural landscape environments with the aim of health and well-being development.

“…Connections with nature develop over time, especially from positive childhood experiences with nature, and are associated with empathic and protective behaviors toward the natural environment [37,48]. Connections with nature include a set of beliefs or cognitions tied to nature (e.g., people thinking that the natural world is a community to which they belong; [49]) as well as self-conceptualizations linked to nature (e.g., perceiving that personal welfare depends on the state of the natural environment; [46]). That is, connections with nature can become an important source of self-concept and identity (i.e., environmental identity) in which people believe "that the environment is an important part of who [they] are" [43] (p. 46).…”

Using Web 2.0 and Social Media Technologies to Foster Proenvironmental Action

Abstract:Research from a variety of disciplines suggests that online technologies (i.e., Web 2.0 and social media) have considerable potential for spurring proenvironmental action; however, relatively little work examines how to effectively capitalize on these communication and organization tools. This review paper describes the Technologies for Proenvironmental Action Model (TPAM), a conceptual framework that explicates how different functions of Web 2.0 and social media (i.e., informational, relational, and experiential) can generate and/or facilitate personal, social, and contextual pathways to environmentally responsible behaviors. As derived from the TPAM, the likelihood of achieving practical goals of increasing proenvironmental behaviors is enhanced when technological functions are matched to the different pathways to proenvironmental action. For example, the relational function of technologies, as exemplified by Social Networking Sites (SNSs), should be particularly effective in communicating social norms supportive of environmentally responsible behaviors. The TPAM is intended as a guide to develop novel approaches, research questions, and methodologies in leveraging Web 2.0 and social media technologies to promote proenvironmental action. Results will contribute to basic theory development and work in applied settings (e.g., local environmental organizations) in order to effectively communicate and organize with different segments of the population to increase sustainable behaviors.
