Single-Item Nature Connection Scale

Overview

A single-item measure of subjective connection to nature developed by Cervinka and Hefler (unpublished). Respondents rate their overall sense of connection to the natural world on a single scale. Single-item measures of nature connection have been shown to correlate substantially with multi-item scales such as the CNS and NR-6, and offer practical advantages in survey contexts where brevity is essential. The item captures the global, affective dimension of nature connectedness rather than specific cognitive or behavioral components.
