Connectedness with nature (CN) is seen as a personal disposition relevant for environmental as well as human health. In five questionnaire studies (N = 547) we systematically investigated the relationship between various operationalizations of well-being and CN. CN was assessed with two different tools in parallel. All significant correlations were controlled for the effects of age and gender. Psychological well-being, meaningfulness and vitality were found to be robustly correlated with CN. We highlight the relevance of CN with respect to human health and further discuss conceptual differences unraveled by the concurrent application of two CN-tools.
与自然的联系（CN）被视为一种与环境和人类健康都相关的个人特质。在五项问卷调查研究中（N=547），我们系统地研究了各种幸福感的操作化与 CN 之间的关系。CN 通过两种不同的工具同时进行评估。所有显著的相关性都控制了年龄和性别效应。心理幸福感、意义感和活力被发现与 CN 密切相关。我们强调了 CN 在人类健康方面的重要性，并进一步讨论了通过同时使用两种 CN 工具揭示的概念差异。
