Abstract

Introduction

This study explored whether place preference, an individual's relationship with place, differentiated people on pro-environmental attitudes, nature-relatedness and pro-environmental behavior.

Objective

The aim was to provide a way to segment people and potentially inform behavior change messaging strategies targeting pro-environmental action.

Method

Online participants reported an urban/nature place preference, completed a sense of place measure in reference to this categorisation, followed by counter-balanced nature-relatedness, pro-environmental attitudes and pro-environmental behaviour measures.

Results

Participants reported moderate-to-high levels of sense of place generally and place attachment specifically. Positive associations between sense of place, nature relatedness, pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours existed; but differed by place preference. Correlations were positive in the nature preference group but negative or non-significant in the urban preference group. Individuals with a nature preference reported higher nature-relatedness, pro-environmental attitudes and pro-environmental behavior.

Conclusion

The results suggest place preference can discriminate individuals on a range of pro-environmental concepts and may have potential for behavior change strategies targeting these outcomes.

亲环境态度、亲环境行为与自然亲缘关系:基于地方偏好的差异
摘要本研究探讨地点偏好、个体与地点的关系是否会影响人们的亲环境态度、自然亲缘性和亲环境行为。目的是提供一种方法来细分人群,并潜在地告知针对亲环境行动的行为改变消息传递策略。MethodOnline的参与者报告了城市/自然的地点偏好,根据这种分类完成了一项地点感测量,随后是平衡自然相关性,亲环境态度和亲环境行为测量。结果被试普遍表现出中高水平的地方感,具体表现为地方依恋。地点感、自然关系、亲环境态度与行为之间存在正相关关系;但不同的地方偏好不同。自然偏好组的相关性为正,而城市偏好组的相关性为负或不显著。具有自然偏好的个体具有较高的自然亲缘性、亲环境态度和亲环境行为。结论地方偏好可以在一系列亲环境概念上对个体进行歧视,并可能针对这些结果产生潜在的行为改变策略。
