Abstract

Using data representing the Australian community (n=1083), this study examines whether there is a link between the way individuals perceive their natural living environment and their mental health state. Linear mixed model regressions are used to assess the associations of environmental (perception of environmental problems and eco-anxiety) and non-environmental variables on mental health and quality of life. A small significant association between eco-anxiety and quality of life was found but no significant effects of environmental variables were obtained on mental distress. Our findings suggest that non-environmental explanatory variables, in particular the socioeconomic situation, drive more variance in mental health.

感知到的自然环境和生态焦虑与心理健康和生活质量有关吗?来自代表性成人样本的研究结果
本研究利用代表澳大利亚社区的数据(n=1083),探讨了个人对自然生活环境的看法与其心理健康状况之间是否存在联系。线性混合模型回归用于评估环境变量(对环境问题和生态焦虑的感知)和非环境变量对心理健康和生活质量的影响。结果发现,生态焦虑与生活质量之间存在微小的显着关联,但环境变量对精神痛苦没有显着影响。我们的研究结果表明,非环境的解释变量,尤其是社会经济状况,对心理健康的影响更大。
