Macro-level determinants of nature connectedness : An exploratory analysis of 61 countries

Recent Publication


 

How strongly people feel connected to nature also depends on social and cultural factors. These include, for example, urbanisation, economic conditions or values such as belief in science and religiosity. These findings are shown in a current international study with data from 61 countries. Professor Dr Stefan Stieger from the Department of Psychological Methodology was involved in the study.
