The influence of natural connectedness and environmental attitude on children's wellbeing:The mediating effect of environmental behavior
Based on the theory of attitude-behavior-context,this paper divides the environ-mental attitude into two levels:preservation and utilization,on this basis,we introduce subjective happiness variables,and focus on the mediating effects of environmental behavior on the relationship between natural connectedness and environmental attitude.The results of 332 valid questionnaires analysis showed that there was no significant relationship between children's attitude to environment utilization and their natural connectedness,environmental behavior and happiness.Natural connectedness and environmental behavior are all precursor factors of children's happiness.Environmental behavior plays a partial mediating role between natural connectedness and children's happiness,and environmental behavior plays a complete mediating role between environmental preservation attitude and children's happiness.Environmental protection attitudes and environmental behavior play a chain mediating role between natural connectedness and children's happiness.Based on the above conclusions,society,schools and parents should increase the time and opportunities for children's contact with nature and outdoor activities through environmental education courses and study tours for children,cultivate children's attitude of environmental protection,enrich children's ways of contact with nature,enhance children's sense of happiness.The model and related conclusions in this paper enrich and expand the study of children's environmental psychology,especially in promoting the study of children's environmental behavior and children's wellbeing.
