Connection With Nature

The demand for ever-accelerating fast fashion is unprecedented, while its supply chain burdens environmental systems. Hedonic fashion consumption is generally unfettered by sustainability concerns, but evidence suggests that island geographies–with dense boundaries between the built and the natural environment–have a heightening effect on eco-consciousness. A framework based on the contemporary condition of hyperconsumption is proposed: island geography heightens sustainability awareness; consequently, fashion consumers located on islands trade-off perceived hedonic benefits of fashion consumption against perceived moral benefits of connection with nature. The framework is supported by visual evidence collected on the Galápagos island Santa Cruz, indicating that male fashion consumers express connection with nature by means of tattoos, slogans on clothing and choice of eco-friendly materials. Quantitative tests with survey data from the United States and Ecuador show that residents in Hawaiʻi and the Galápagos have higher levels of connection with nature compared to residents on the associated continental areas. This effect is mediated by decreased perceived rewards of hedonic fashion consumption, but the effect is overall weaker in Ecuador compared to the United States due to differences in purchasing power and attitudes towards consumerism. Because of the stereotype that eco-friendly is unmanly, men are generally less likely to embrace environmentally friendly products and the findings of this research point to avenues to overcome this barrier.

The Universe

It is the people who make the history live, the people is the living history. The ancient inhabitants of the universe, our ancestors, our great ancestors created separate calendars on the basis of their experimental knowledge about the change of the year, month and day. The folk calendar, the lunar calendar, the solar calendar, and the lunar-solar calendar are the meanings that human beings have discovered by studying the mysteries of nature. As a result of man's connection with nature in every field, his observation and comparison, a folk calendar was formed. According to the folk calendar, our ancient ancestors, depending on the movement of celestial bodies, falling leaves from above or below in autumn, the position of clouds in the sky, the redness of the horizon in the morning or evening, the behavior of animals, birds flying close to the ground, weather, rain or snow predicted hurricanes and storms, earthquakes, hot and dry summers, and harsh winters.

The Relationship

The present work studies the Psychology of Religion as a theme to be understood from the concept of totality. It discusses the issue of the nature of religion, psychology and the relationship between both. It approaches the human conflicts from their connection with nature, and, above all, with God. As a possible path of a creative and healthy adjustment, faith fills a special position establishing the relationship between psychology, religion and the human person. The nature of the soul and the psychological struggles bring up a central issue: what is the role of the Religion Psychologist facing the human angst caused by guilt, by the loss of meaning of God in the human existence or up to what theoretical point does the Psychology of Religion oppose the clinical practice where the silent presence of the hallowed in human conflicts become apparent while being ignored at the exercise of our profession.

Abstract. Those who feel connected to nature tend to be more likely to engage in pro-environmental behavior. How can this connection with nature be created? We examined whether viewing nature-related videos – specifically, the immersiveness of the technological devices used to display these videos – can enhance connection with nature and increase pro-environmental behavior. Participants watched videos of either natural or built environments through a head-mounted display (immersive technology) or a regular computer screen. We predicted that watching a nature video would enhance nature relatedness and pro-environmental behaviors, particularly when presented with immersive technology than with a traditional computer monitor. There was limited support for the hypotheses; watching the nature video significantly enhanced nature relatedness but not pro-environmental behaviors. The type of technology used did not influence the effect of the videos.

Connection With Nature

Wellness is a holistic process comprised of a number of components, one of which is connection with nature. The concept of EcoWellness is designed to encapsulate this connection with nature. Previous humanistic counseling research has established connections between EcoWellness and a number of outcomes. However, just as people vary in terms of their overall wellness, people vary in EcoWellness. Thus, we sought to explore the role of various individual differences in overall EcoWellness. Data were collected online through self-report measures of mindfulness, personality, EcoWellness, and other individual differences. In particular, the observe and describe components of mindfulness, greater perceived naturalness, along with eXtraversion, agreeableness, and openness were found to predict EcoWellness. Thus, individuals who score higher on these traits may be more likely to be EcoWell. Implications for humanistic counseling and research are discussed.
