Worldviews about human's relationship with the natural world play an important role in psychological health. However, very little is currently known regarding the way worldviews about nature are linked with psychological health during a severe natural disaster and how this link may differ according to cultural context. In this study, we measured individual differences in worldviews about nature and psychological health during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic within two different cultural contexts (Japan and United States). We found that across Japanese and American cultural contexts, holding a harmony-with-nature worldview was positively associated with improved psychological health during the COVID-19 pandemic. We also found that culture moderated the link between mastery-over-nature worldviews and negative affect. Americans showed a stronger link between mastery-over-nature worldviews and negative affect than Japanese. These findings support the biophilia hypothesis and contribute to theories differentiating Japanese and American cultural contexts based on naïve dialecticism and susceptibility to cognitive dissonance.
关于人类与自然世界关系的世界观在心理健康中起着重要作用。然而，目前对于在严重自然灾害期间自然世界观与心理健康的联系方式，以及这种联系如何因文化背景而异，我们知之甚少。在本研究中，我们在两种不同文化背景（日本和美国）下测量了2020年新冠疫情期间自然世界观和心理健康的个体差异。我们发现，在日本和美国文化背景中，持有与自然和谐的世界观与新冠疫情期间心理健康状况的改善呈正相关。我们还发现，文化调节了对自然掌控的世界观与负面影响之间的联系。与日本人相比，美国人在对自然掌控的世界观与负面影响之间的联系更强。这些发现支持了亲生物假说，并有助于基于朴素辩证主义和认知失调易感性来区分日本和美国文化背景的理论。
