The potential of everyday urban nature, however, has yet to be thoroughly explored, from the perspective of both public health and conservation policy. This study aimed to develop and provide a pilot test of a 30-day nature connectedness intervention (Liga-te à Terra!) aimed primarily at supporting stress management. Liga-te à Terra! was developed upon a recent framework combining the good things people notice in urban nature and the pathways to nature connectedness. It was tested on a sample of university students (N = 65) before the second-semester examination period. Students were randomly allocated to either a control condition (waitlist) or an intervention condition in which they were instructed to daily engage with the nature they encountered in their everyday urban surroundings. Results showed that participants who engaged in Liga-te à Terra! reported significantly lower levels of perceived stress and rumination, along with higher levels of nature connectedness, at postintervention. Importantly, no significant difference in time in nature was found between participants who engaged in Liga-te à Terra! and those in the control group. Overall, this study provides empirical support for urban nature as a valuable resource for mental health self-management interventions. The findings here obtained call for additional research to further explore the potential of Liga-te à Terra! at a wider population level and among different groups.","PeriodicalId":46262,"journal":{"name":"Ecopsychology","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135535271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We apply the “visions of nature” framework through a quantitative survey (N = 362) held among the citizens of Lima, Peru to better understand their ideas, values and images of relationships with nature. Furthermore, we explore whether well-being is reflected in values attributed to nature. We found images of both wild and domesticated nature, which different groups of respondents assigned with divergent levels of naturalness. Differences appear to be linked to respondents' generational contexts and life experiences. The images of relationship that most respondents adhered to (Practical and Ecocentric steward) entail a sense of responsibility toward nature, motivated by the traditional instrumental values but certainly also by intrinsic and relational values of nature. We argue that citizens adhering to those images of relationship experience a form of nature connection with nature beyond the urban context and recommend that well-being research should not only address the significance of nearby urban nature, but also of extra-urban nature.BiosketchNatalia Calderón Moya-Méndez (1978) studied biology at Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina, Lima, Peru.

This year's theme is on Increasing Time Spent in Nature. Manuscripts on nature and health more broadly, with relevancy to ecopsychology, are also encouraged. This Call is aligned with the newly formed national organization, the Nature and Health Alliance, whose vision is: “A world in which everybody has access to nature and can sustain the benefits of nature.”Over the past few decades, a growing body of research has shown the plethora of health benefits related to spending time in nature. However, many people in the modern world currently spend little time in natural environments. In this special issue, we are especially keen to publish papers that specifically address interventions to improve health through increased time in nature. Interventions may occur on any of the rungs of the social–ecological model including individual and interpersonal-based approaches, institutional-level interventions, community-design and urban planning, and policy-based approaches. Experimental designs are encouraged where appropriate and should have either a health or behavioral-related outcome. Papers addressing populations across the lifespan, including children and older adults as well as special populations including people living with disabilities, active-duty military and veterans, lower income, rural, and indigenous communities, and a broad range of people for racial and ethnic groups across the globe, are highly encouraged.Potential interventions may include but are not limited to:Prescription programsNature-based solutionsGreen schoolyardsNature therapyGreening and rewilding initiativesNatural experimentsTheory-driven interventionsOutdoor classroomsGreen exercisePark-based programsYour contribution should be no longer than 5000 words (excluding references) and submitted no later than December 22, 2023.

However, environmental values vary and they do not equally predict proenvironmental behavior. In this study, we investigated the impact of three kinds of proenvironmental values (egoistic, altruistic, and biospheric) on competitive and cooperative behavior in a hypothetical ecological commons dilemma scenario. Two hundred Canadian undergraduate students completed an online survey assessing proenvironmental value orientation and commons dilemma decision-making tendencies. In line with our hypothesis, controlling for demographic characteristics (e.g., gender) and key facets of social desirability (e.g., impression management), egoistic, altruistic, and biospheric values positively predicted competition, altruistic cooperation, and ecological cooperation, respectively, within the commons dilemma. Results show that to promote the sustainable consumption of shared ecological resources, it is prudent for educators, environmental managers, and policy makers to encourage the expression of biospheric values.","PeriodicalId":46262,"journal":{"name":"Ecopsychology","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136370898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
