doi:10.16187/j.cnki.issn1001-4918.2018.01.15

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 自然联结包含个体对人与自然一体化关系的认同，以及与自然之间的情感联结，反映了人与自然之间关系的质量。它与个体的身心健康、认知功能和环保态度及行为显著相关。根据对已有研究结果的分析，自然联结可能通过认知和情感两条路径形成和发展。未来研究需继续探讨自然联结的内涵和结构，深入研究其形成和发展的心理机制，以及在自然影响人过程中的作用。还可与教育实践相结合，进行系统的干预和追踪研究。此外，建议将这一概念引入心理学其他领域的研究，以获得更多理论与应用价值。

Abstract: Connectedness to nature refers to the extent to which individuals identify themselves as a part of nature and are emotionally connected to nature. It reflects the quality of relationships between human and nature. Extant studies showed that connectedness to nature is significantly associated with individuals' physical and mental health, cognitive development, and their environmental awareness, and could be built or strengthened through cognitive learning and emotional experiences. Future research should verify the conceptualization and structure of connectedness to nature, and further explore the psychological mechanisms behind its development. Moreover, theoretical research could be combined with educational practice so that more longitudinal and intervention studies could be conducted. Lastly, researchers could consider to study connectedness to nature in other areas of psychological research.

Key words: connectedness to nature, development, physical and mental health, environmental awareness
