Nature connectedness in adolescents and young adults: a systematic review
Nature connectedness is an important construct for understanding how adolescents and young adults interact with the environment and its impact on psychological and social well-being. This systematic review synthesizes the scientific literature on nature connectedness in individuals aged 11–26 years and assesses its impact on mental health, pro-environmental behaviour and social cohesion. Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search of seven databases identified 352 articles, of which 63 met the inclusion criteria. The thematic analysis revealed four main themes: (1) the role of nature connection in improving mental well-being, (2) its influence in promoting pro-environmental behaviour and sustainability, (3) the interaction between technology use and nature connection, and (4) nature's contribution to social connectedness. The findings highlight the multiple benefits of connecting with nature, particularly in promoting mental health, environmental stewardship and social inclusion. These findings have valuable implications for the design of interventions to support the well-being of young people in urban and multicultural contexts.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Environmental Psychology is the premier journal in the field, serving individuals in a wide range of disciplines who have an interest in the scientific study of the transactions and interrelationships between people and their surroundings (including built, social, natural and virtual environments, the use and abuse of nature and natural resources, and sustainability-related behavior). The journal publishes internationally contributed empirical studies and reviews of research on these topics that advance new insights. As an important forum for the field, the journal publishes some of the most influential papers in the discipline that reflect the scientific development of environmental psychology. Contributions on theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects of all human-environment interactions are welcome, along with innovative or interdisciplinary approaches that have a psychological emphasis. Research areas include: •Psychological and behavioral aspects of people and nature •Cognitive mapping, spatial cognition and wayfinding •Ecological consequences of human actions •Theories of place, place attachment, and place identity •Environmental risks and hazards: perception, behavior, and management •Perception and evaluation of buildings and natural landscapes •Effects of physical and natural settings on human cognition and health •Theories of proenvironmental behavior, norms, attitudes, and personality •Psychology of sustainability and climate change •Psychological aspects of resource management and crises •Social use of space: crowding, privacy, territoriality, personal space •Design of, and experiences related to, the physical aspects of workplaces, schools, residences, public buildings and public space
