Description: Research on human perceptions of connectedness to nature
"Considerable attention has been paid to the idea that people in western industrialized countries increasingly see themselves as separate from nature. As is specified in the U.S. Wilderness Act (1964), nature is set aside as something pristine and free of the modern human touch. Although many have addressed the issue of the human place in nature, to our knowledge, no one has investigated the role of connectedness to nature on whether residents of developed countries perceive themselves to be part of or separate from nature. To address this question, in the study presented here we asked respondents from three separate surveys in the United States if they considered themselves part of or separate from nature. We also asked them to provide lists of words associated with the natural and the unnatural."
