Abstract

Abstract In order to understand what leads people to commit to both practices of environmental care and simple living, this work investigates how significant life experiences influence people who develop a pro-ecological commitment (PEC), focusing on experiences related to either religion or spirituality. Twenty-nine people socially perceived (and referred) as having PEC (17 males, aged between 23 and 79) participated in individual semi-structured interviews and described experiences that worked as a source of influence for their own commitment. In addition to what the literature proposes on the relation between spirituality and environmental care, the accounts highlighted the distinction made between religion and spirituality; the contact with nature mediated by religious practices; associations of the idea of the sacred (divine) with the environment; and the importance of these experiences as contexts of socialization and care for oneself and others.

生命经验与亲生态承诺的形成:探索灵性的作用/生命经验与亲生态承诺的形成:探索灵性的作用

为了了解是什么导致人们承诺环境保护和简单生活的实践，本工作调查了重要的生活经历如何影响人们发展亲生态承诺(PEC)，重点关注与宗教或灵性相关的经历。29名被社会认为(并被提及)患有PEC的人(17名男性，年龄在23岁至79岁之间)参加了个人半结构化访谈，并描述了影响他们自己承诺的经历。除了文献提出的精神与环境保护之间的关系外，这些报道还强调了宗教与精神之间的区别;通过宗教活动与自然的接触;神圣的观念与环境的联系;以及这些经历作为社会化和照顾自己和他人的背景的重要性。
