摘要

一个功能良好的自然环境有利于个人的幸福，但人们往往会忽视这种与个人相关的好处，因为他们感到远离环境(也称为心理距离)。根据解释水平理论，我们提出环境信息参与作为缓解心理距离的一种方式。我们认为，长时间接触环境信息和与环境信息的互动减少了环境问题的抽象性，从而降低了心理距离。使用中国全国纵向调查数据(N = 2322)的交叉滞后分析验证了这种即时和长期的影响。然而，在环境价值较低的人群中没有发现这种影响。提供了理论和实践意义。

Mitigating Perceived Environment Insignificance Through Information Engagement

A well-functioning natural environment benefits individuals’ well-being, but people tend to overlook this personally relevant benefit because they feel remote from the environment (also known as psychological distance). Drawing on the construal level theory, we proposed environmental information engagement as a way to mitigate psychological distance. We assert that prolonged exposure to and interaction with environmental information decreases the abstractness of environmental issues thereby lowering psychological distance. Cross-lagged analyses using data from a national longitudinal survey in China (N = 2,322) verified this effect both instantly and over time. However, the effect was not detected in people with weak environmental values. Theoretical and practical implications are provided.
