Abstract

Nature contact has associations with emotional ill-being and well-being. However, the mechanisms underlying these associations are not fully understood. We hypothesised that increased adaptive and decreased maladaptive emotion regulation strategies would be a pathway linking nature contact to ill-being and well-being. Using data from a survey of 600 U.S.-based adults administered online in 2022, we conducted structural equation modelling to test our hypotheses. We found that (1) frequency of nature contact was significantly associated with lesser emotional ill-being and greater emotional well-being, (2) effective emotion regulation was significantly associated with lesser emotional ill-being and greater emotional well-being, and (3) the associations of higher frequency of nature contact with these benefits were partly explained via emotion regulation. Moreover, we found a nonlinear relationship for the associations of duration of nature contact with some outcomes, with a rise in benefits up to certain amounts of time, and a levelling off after these points. These findings support and extend previous work that demonstrates that the associations of nature contact with emotional ill-being and well-being may be partly explained by changes in emotion regulation.

接触大自然与情绪不佳和幸福感的关系:情绪调节的作用。
接触大自然与情绪不佳和幸福感有关。然而,这些关联的内在机制还不完全清楚。我们假设,适应性情绪调节策略的增加和适应性不良情绪调节策略的减少将是连接接触自然与不良情绪和幸福感的途径。利用 2022 年对 600 名美国成年人进行的在线调查数据,我们建立了结构方程模型来验证我们的假设。我们发现:(1)接触自然的频率与较少的情绪不佳和较高的情绪幸福感显著相关;(2)有效的情绪调节与较少的情绪不佳和较高的情绪幸福感显著相关;(3)较高的自然接触频率与这些益处的相关性部分是通过情绪调节来解释的。此外,我们还发现,与自然接触的持续时间与某些结果之间存在非线性关系,在达到一定时间后,益处会增加,而在达到一定时间后,益处会趋于平稳。这些研究结果支持并扩展了之前的研究,证明接触自然与情绪不佳和幸福感之间的关系可以部分地通过情绪调节的变化来解释。

期刊介绍: Cognition & Emotion is devoted to the study of emotion, especially to those aspects of emotion related to cognitive processes. The journal aims to bring together work on emotion undertaken by researchers in cognitive, social, clinical, and developmental psychology, neuropsychology, and cognitive science. Examples of topics appropriate for the journal include the role of cognitive processes in emotion elicitation, regulation, and expression; the impact of emotion on attention, memory, learning, motivation, judgements, and decisions.
