The aim of the study is to determine the connection between the attitude towards the forest and life satisfaction of students. The study was conducted on a sample of 650 students from Polish universities using The Satisfaction With Life Scale and an original questionnaire measuring the approach towards the forest-LAS scale. There are 3 subscales which measured: the perceived benefits from spending time in the forest; the degree of involvement in exploring the forest and working to its advantage; fears connected with the forest. The scale indicated good psychometric properties. Its reliability expressed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient is at the level of 0.90 (0.93 for Benefits scale; 0.87 for Involvement and 0.79 for Fears). The results of the statistical analysis have led to conclusions confirming the relationship between life satisfaction and the results of LAS scale. People satisfied with their lives are more involved in exploring the forest, they enjoy more benefits connected with forest recreation and express fewer fears. Forestry students are characterised by the highest involvement and the lowest level of fears connected with the forest. As far as life satisfaction is concerned, they are in the lead among Polish students just behind students of medical and artistic studies.
本研究旨在确定学生对森林的态度与生活满意度之间的关系。该研究采用生活满意度量表和一个原创的测量接近森林的问卷（LAS 量表），对来自波兰大学的 650 名学生进行了抽样调查。该问卷有 3 个分量表，分别测量了：在森林中度过时间的感知益处；参与探索森林和利用森林优势的程度；与森林有关的恐惧。该量表显示出良好的心理测量特性。其可靠性用 Cronbach 的 alpha 系数表示，为 0.90（益处量表为 0.93；参与度为 0.87；恐惧为 0.79）。统计分析的结果得出了结论，证实了生活满意度与 LAS 量表结果之间的关系。对生活满意的人更倾向于探索森林，他们享受更多与森林娱乐相关的益处，并且表达的恐惧较少。林业学生的参与度最高，对森林的恐惧程度最低。就生活满意度而言，他们在波兰学生中排名靠前，仅次于医学和艺术专业的学生。
