Can self-transcendent positive emotions facilitate bonds with nature?

Abstract: Self-transcendent positive emotions play a foundational role in social cognition through binding humans to others. In this article, theoretical and emerging empirical evidence is presented in support of the hypothesis that self-transcendent positive emotions may also facilitate bonds with the natural world. This is suggested to occur due to the ability of self-transcendent emotions to direct attention away from the self, facilitate connections with novel social targets, and reduce defensive distancing from nat… Show more

“…Future theory and research should remain open to the effects of self-transcendent emotions over longer timescales where experimental manipulations are often not feasible (though there are intriguing hints about the long-term effects of psilocybin in line with these ideas; see [50]).…”

“…However, the causality of this relationship can only be speculated. While previous research most often has viewed emotions and related affective phenomena as outcomes of contact with nature, e.g., [53], recent studies highlighted the role of social relational emotions in establishing and intensifying nature connectedness [21,22,54]. Moreover, based on a study with a representative sample from England, Martin et al [55] found that nature connectedness was positively related to eudemonic well-being and pro-environmental behaviour.…”
