Abstract:
Identifying the determinants of people’s connection with nature is crucial for the future of nature conservation. The sense of connection with nature may be defined as how one relates to the natural world or sees oneself as part of it. A part of this connection is related to what is called “Environmental Identity”, which begins to form early in life under the influence of experiences with nature. Differentiated traits of appreciation of one’s “environments”—defined as the things, places, and people surrounding individuals throughout their lifetime—have been described in psychological studies on personality. Theorized as “General Orientations,” these consist of specific forms of selectivity in individuals’ attention, which differs from their values and encourages them to respond to certain stimuli in a specific way.
