Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Abstract Conventional wisdom suggests that environmental education increases sustainable practices to lessen the negative impacts humans have on the environment. Yet, educational programs that encourage pro-environmental behaviors may be time consuming and cost prohibitive. Current research in environmental psychology suggests that the way in which people associate themselves to nature may be related to self-reported environmental conservation behaviors. In a series of experiments, we test this model of environmental perception and discover a nuanced view on how people relate themselves to the natural and built environment. Results from these experiments challenge current models of connectedness with nature, which view implicit associations with nature as a dispositional trait. We offer an alternative model on connectedness with nature that accounts for contextual factors (e.g., meteorological conditions, seasonal variations) that influence people’s perceptions of nature. In addition, we explore how simple design aspects in the workplace may dramatically affect recycling compliance. Theoretical and practical implications regarding human perceptions about the natural and built environment are discussed.
