There is growing recognition that our relationship with nature needs repairing. Two operationalizations of this construct within psychology are nature connectedness and relational environmental values. This review covers recent advances on both constructs. It outlines the growing evidence that both operationalizations are strong predictors of pro-environmental outcomes. It goes on to review what is known about the antecedents of the human-nature relationship and outlines three emerging principles about nature connectedness, in particular: (1) it largely operates like a true relationship, (2) it is a form of self-transcendence, and (3) it involves the self. Additionally, the review highlights recent paradigmatic shifts in the study of the human-nature relationship, shifting from studying associations at the individual level to instead focus on group-level processes.
人们越来越认识到，我们与自然的关系需要修复。心理学中对这一概念的两种操作化定义是自然联结和关系性环境价值观。本综述涵盖了这两个概念的最新进展。它概述了越来越多的证据表明，这两种操作化定义都是亲环境结果的有力预测指标。接着，它回顾了关于人与自然关系的前因的已知内容，并概述了关于自然联结的三个新出现的原则，特别是：（1）它在很大程度上像一种真正的关系那样运作，（2）它是一种自我超越的形式，（3）它涉及自我。此外，该综述强调了人与自然关系研究中最近的范式转变，从研究个体层面的关联转向关注群体层面的过程。
