Connection to Nature Scale
Nisbet, Zelenski & Murphy · 2008
Overview
A 16-item scale measuring adults' subjective sense of connection to the natural world, including feelings of belonging in nature, kinship with other species, and emotional responsiveness to nature. Developed as a complementary measure to the Connectedness to Nature Scale (Mayer & Frantz, 2004) with an emphasis on the affective and relational dimensions of human–nature connection. Items assess both the cognitive sense of being part of nature and the emotional experience of caring about and feeling moved by the natural world.
