Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Urbanization processes are constantly increasing, and most of the European population currently live in urban areas. Nevertheless, evidence is consistent in highlighting the positive association between nature exposure and human wellbeing, although individual differences might affect this association.
UNASSIGNED: The present study aimed to investigate the association among nature connectedness, conceptualized as Love and Care for Nature, place identity, and physical wellbeing, via restorativeness and positive and negative affect. A total of 312 visitors of an urban green area (i.e., Milan\'s Parco Nord) participated in the study. They completed an anonymous questionnaire.
UNASSIGNED: Findings showed that nature connectedness and place identity positively affect physical wellbeing, via restorativeness and positive affect, but not through the negative ones.
UNASSIGNED: Results highlight the importance of the joint role of exposure to nature and individual differences in promoting wellbeing. This study offers implications for interventions aimed at enhancing individuals\' health through exposure to nature. Limitations of the study and future research developments are discussed.
摘要:
城市化进程不断增加,大多数欧洲人口目前居住在城市地区。然而,证据在强调自然暴露与人类福祉之间的正相关方面是一致的,尽管个体差异可能会影响这种关联。
本研究旨在调查自然连通性之间的关联,被概念化为对自然的爱与关怀,地点身份,和身体健康,通过恢复性和积极和消极影响。一个城市绿地的总共312名游客(即,米兰的ParcoNord)参加了这项研究。他们完成了一份匿名问卷。
研究结果表明,自然连通性和地点同一性对身体健康有积极影响,通过恢复性和积极的影响,但不是通过消极的。
结果强调了暴露于自然和个体差异在促进福祉方面的共同作用的重要性。这项研究为旨在通过暴露于自然来增强个人健康的干预措施提供了启示。讨论了研究的局限性和未来的研究进展。
