摘要: 自然联结指个人报告自身在情感上与自然接近，并且是自然不可分割的一部分的程度，常被认为是一种特质。不同方面的幸福感(享乐主义幸福感和自我实现幸福感)以不同的方式与自然联结相关。通过亲缘性假说理论、压力缓解理论、注意力恢复理论、具身认知理论，可以进一步解释自然联结影响幸福感的内在机制。未来研究需要进一步明确各幸福感的界定标准、增加对儿童幸福感与自然联结关系的探讨、关注该领域跨文化差异等方面。
Abstract: Connectedness to nature refers to the extent to which individuals report that they are emotionally close to nature and are an integral part of it, and is often considered a trait. Different aspects of well-being (hedonia well-being and eudaimonia well-being) are related to connectedness to nature in different ways. The intrinsic mechanisms by which connectedness to nature affects well-being can be further explained through the kinship hypothesis theory, stress reduction theory, attention res-toration theory, and embodied cognition theory. Future research needs to further clarify the defini-tional criteria of each well-being, increase the exploration of the relationship between children well-being and connectedness to nature, and focus on cross-cultural differences in this area.
