Internal transformative qualities are essential contributing factors to sustainable behavior. Besides awareness, insight, purpose, and agency, connectedness is one of those inner qualities. In this study, we investigated the relationship between connectedness to oneself (self-love), towards the environment (connectedness to nature), towards other human beings (pro-socialness), and sustainable behavior towards clothes and food. One hundred thirty-nine mostly students participated. The results showed that self-love, connectedness to nature, and pro-socialness correlate. Sustainability behavior towards food was predicted by pro-socialness, the choice of diet, and environmental and ethical reasons for nutrition. Sustainable behavior towards clothes was predicted by connectedness to nature. This study hints that the factors of inner transformative qualities and the type of sustainable behavior must be investigated differently. It strengthens the multi-facet dimensions of sustainable behavior.
内在转变品质是可持续行为的重要促成因素。除了意识、洞察力、目标和能动性之外,关联性是这些内在品质之一。在本研究中,我们调查了与自身的关联性(自爱)、与环境的关联性(与自然的联系)、与其他人类的关联性(亲社会行为)以及对衣物和食物的可持续行为之间的关系。139名参与者大多为学生。结果表明,自爱、与自然的联系和亲社会行为之间存在相关性。对食物的可持续行为由亲社会行为、饮食选择以及营养方面的环境和伦理原因所预测。对衣物的可持续行为由与自然的联系所预测。本研究表明,必须对内在转变品质因素和可持续行为类型进行不同的研究。它强化了可持续行为的多方面维度。
