Abstract

Social dominance orientation (SDO) has been reported to predict attitudes and behavior toward the natural environment. This research investigated whether dispositional connectedness with and temporary exposure to nature would reversely alter SDO. Two studies reported consistent results: Nature connectedness predicted lower SDO, and exposure to nature (vs. urban) decreased SDO only among nature-connected people. Moreover, the effect of nature exposure was strongest when the environment registered high security features. Study 2 generalized the findings on SDO to people’s policy support for marginalized groups in the US during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings are discussed in the light of the transition from people-to-nature connections to interpersonal connections and the heterogeneity of nature’s effect. We conclude by discussing the importance of nature exposure, of which people have been deprived since the global lockdown, in combating the COVID-19 pandemic.
COVID-19大流行期间自然连通性和自然暴露互动影响社会优势取向和边缘群体政策支持
社会优势取向(SDO)已被报道预测对自然环境的态度和行为。本研究调查了与大自然的性格联系和暂时接触大自然是否会对SDO产生相反的影响。两项研究报告了一致的结果:自然连接预测较低的SDO,并且暴露于自然(与城市相比)仅在与自然连接的人群中降低SDO。此外,当环境具有高安全性特征时,自然暴露的影响最强。研究2将SDO的研究结果推广到COVID-19大流行期间美国人们对边缘群体的政策支持。研究结果从人与自然关系向人际关系的转变和自然效应的异质性角度进行了讨论。最后,我们讨论了自全球封锁以来人们被剥夺的自然暴露在抗击COVID-19大流行中的重要性。
