Abstract

ABSTRACT Natural experiences influence identity and the way of interacting with the environment, and their effects are varied, including well-being and positive thoughts towards nature. This study analyses the effects produced as a result of real or virtual experiences of nature. A total of 288 people took part in this research, distributed among three experimental conditions: nature walk, images of nature and control group. Changes were registered in terms of connectedness and environmental identity, caused by the experimental conditions and differences in the free evocations generated. Connection to nature was higher among those who took part in the nature walks, related to the evocation of positive emotions, memories of social experiences in nature and pro-environmental reflections. These results are interesting for the field of environmental education and the promotion of environmental values and behaviours.

与自然接触对连通性、环境身份和唤起内容的影响

自然体验影响着身份和与环境互动的方式，其影响是多种多样的，包括幸福感和对自然的积极看法。这项研究分析了真实或虚拟的自然体验所产生的影响。共有288人参加了这项研究，他们被分为三种实验条件:自然漫步、自然图像和对照组。变化记录在连通性和环境认同方面，这是由实验条件和产生的自由唤起的差异引起的。在那些参加自然散步的人中，与自然的联系更高，这与唤起积极情绪、对自然社会经历的记忆和对环境的反思有关。这些结果对于环境教育和促进环境价值和行为的领域是有趣的。
