Abstract：
We designed three studies to explore the effect of materialistic values on pro-environmental behavior among youth and the mediated role of nature connectedness between materialistic values and pro-environmental behavior. Through a self-report questionnaire survey (Study 1) and an experimental manipulation of materialistic values (Study 2), we found that materialistic values negatively predicted pro-environmental behavior, and that nature connectedness played a mediating role. Further, we used natural contact strategies to control the level of nature connectedness, and found that the negative impact of high materialistic values on pro-environment behavior decreased with the increase of nature connectedness, further supporting the mediating role of nature connectedness (Study 3). These results may contribute to the design of strategies that effectively mitigate the negative effects of materialistic values on pro-environmental behavior.
摘要：
我们设计了三项研究，以探讨唯物主义价值观对青年亲环境行为的影响以及唯物主义价值观与亲环境行为之间自然联系的中介作用。通过自我报告问卷调查（研究1）和对唯物主义价值观的实验操纵（研究2），我们发现物质价值观负面地预测了亲环境行为，自然连通性起到了中介作用。Further,我们使用自然接触策略来控制自然连通性的水平，发现高物质价值观对亲环境行为的负面影响随着自然连通性的增加而降低，进一步支持自然连通性的中介作用(研究3)。这些结果可能有助于设计有效减轻唯物主义价值观对环保行为的负面影响的策略。
