PASCA, Laura e ARAGONES, Juan Ignacio. Contact with Nature: Favoring Connectedness to Nature and Well-being. CES Psicol [online]. 2021, vol.14, n.1, pp.100-111. Epub 17-Nov-2021. ISSN 2011-3080. https://doi.org/10.21615/cesp.14.1.8.
Humans relate to nature at a physical, cognitive, and emotional level, and scientific research has shown how this relation impacts on people’s well-being. Two studies were carried out to determine whether contact with nature is related to higher levels of connectedness and well-being; one consisted of adolescents (n = 283) and the other of adults (n = 447), who responded to a questionnaire aimed at assessing connectivity with Nature and well-being. A greater connectedness and well-being were observed in people with frequent contact with nature. In the second study (n = 63), this relationship was studied in people after taking a tour through an artificial natural environment. The results show that the people who took the tour had higher levels of connectedness and positive affect, with levels increasing with respect to the baseline. In this study, the advantages of psychological intervention through contact with nature are evident.
