People differ in the extent to which they identify with humans beyond their ingroup and with non-human living things. We refer to the former as the Connectedness to Humanity (CH) and to the latter as the Connectedness to Nature (CN). In a sample of 324 undergraduate students, CH and CN were operationalized using the Identification with All Humanity Scale (McFarland et al., 2012) and the CN Scale (Mayer and Frantz, 2004), respectively. These variables correlated moderately with each other (r = 0.44) and shared Openness to Experience and Honesty-Humility as their primary personality correlates. CN was found to play an important role in mediating the relationships between the two personality variables and some specific pro-environmental/pro-animal attitudes and ecological behaviors.
人们在认同群体外人类以及非人类生物的程度上存在差异。我们将前者称为“与人类的联系”(CH),将后者称为“与自然的联系”(CN)。在324名本科生的样本中,CH和CN分别使用“认同全人类量表”(麦克法兰等人,2012年)和“CN量表”(梅耶和弗兰茨,2004年)进行操作化定义。这些变量彼此之间存在中等程度的相关性(r = 0.44),并共享“经验开放性”和“诚实谦逊”作为其主要的人格相关因素。研究发现,CN在调节两个人格变量与一些特定的亲环境/亲动物态度及生态行为之间的关系中发挥着重要作用。
