Measures both the frequency and quality of individuals' exposure to and connection with natural environments. Combines behavioral measures of nature exposure (time spent in nature, types of natural settings visited) with psychological measures of the quality of nature connection experienced during those exposures. Developed to address the limitation of measures that assess either nature exposure or nature connection in isolation, recognizing that the psychological benefits of nature depend on both the quantity and quality of nature contact.
