Abstract | Although research has examined factors that account for proenvironmental behaviors relating to climate warming through carbon and resource use, very few studies have investigated factors that account for behavior that directly supports conservation of habitats and biodiversity. In particular, there remain questions as to whether nature connectedness relates to an individual’s aesthetic or spiritual relationship with the objective world, or their philosophy of consciousness and selfhood. Consequently, the purposes of this study were to examine (a) the relationship between nature connectedness, engagement with nature’s beauty, nonattachment and implicit theory of mind, and (b) how each of these variables predict pro-nature |
