“…The total sample comprised 1008 participants extracted from the databases of Aragonés et al (2011, 2013) and Olivos et al (2013). There were no differences between them as regards the means on the CNS.…”

“…Worth highlighting among the multiple approaches to measuring the relationship between the self and nature is the connectedness to nature scale (CNS) developed by Mayer and Frantz (2004) owing to its frequent use (e.g., Brügger et al, 2011; Corraliza and Bethelmy, 2011; Olivos and Aragonés, 2011; Cervinka et al, 2012; Matas-Terrón and Elósegui-Bandera, 2012; Olivos et al, 2013; Olivos and Aragonés, 2014; Zhang et al, 2014). This scale comprises 13 items with a graded response, in which participants must be situated along a continuum of five points.…”

An Analysis of the Connectedness to Nature Scale Based on Item Response Theory

2017

The Connectedness to Nature Scale (CNS) is used as a measure of the subjective cognitive connection between individuals and nature. However, to date, it has not been analyzed at the item level to confirm its quality. In the present study, we conduct such an analysis based on Item Response Theory. We employed data from previous studies using the Spanish-language version of the CNS, analyzing a sample of 1008 participants. The results show that seven items presented appropriate indices of discrimination and difficulty, in addition to a good fit. The remaining six have inadequate discrimination indices and do not present a good fit. A second study with 321 participants shows that the seven-item scale has adequate levels of reliability and validity. Therefore, it would be appropriate to use a reduced version of the scale after eliminating the items that display inappropriate behavior, since they may interfere with research results on connectedness to nature.

“…In addition, we wanted to assess the internal consistency and validity of the CNS through convergent validity by correlating its results to the Environmental Identity Scale (EID) as proposed in the literature (Brugger et al, 2011; Olivos et al, 2013; Olivos and Clayton, 2017). A positive correlation was expected regarding the connectedness and EID measures.…”

“…Schultz et al (2004) have tackled research on the self-nature relationship by using different measures (the Nature in Self Scale – INS – and the Implicit Association Test – IAT). Another concept considers that in the building of a self-concept, nature and the self are not independent but linked, as the self-concept comes from a cognitive connection between nature and the self, facilitated by memories of oneself in nature (Thomashow, 1995; Schroeder, 2007; Olivos et al, 2013; Olivos and Clayton, 2017). …”

“Connectedness to Nature Scale”: Validity and Reliability in the French Context

2017

Connectedness to nature represents the relationship of the self with the natural environment and has been operationalized using different scales. One of the most systematically studied in the Anglo-Saxon context is the Connectedness to Nature Scale (CNS). In an attempt to study the psychometric properties of this instrument in a French-speaking context, three studies (Study 1 n = 204, Study 2 n = 153, and Study 3 n = 322) were carried out in France to provide evidence of the internal consistency of the CNS, as well as its convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity. Moreover, as anticipated, positive correlations between the CNS and the environmental identity and environmental concerns scales were observed. Based on factorial analyses of maximum likelihood and reliability, an improvement in the psychometric properties was identified by eliminating three items. Through confirmatory factor analysis, the factorial structure and the psychometric properties of the CNS French version were confirmed, as well as their significate regression prediction on eudaimonic wellbeing.

“…Los valores obtenidos muestran, en general, una consideración positiva sobre el medio y el interés por conocerlo, cuidarlo y valorarlo durante la práctica de AFDMN, lo que revela que la participación en la actividad no se limita al componente físico-deportivo, sino que pasa de respetar el medio a sentirlo, aspecto coincidente con los resultados aportados por el estudio de Olivos-Jara et al (2013). De hecho, los valores más altos se obtienen en la dimensión de tener actitudes positivas ante el medioambiente durante las prácticas (Álvarez y Vega, 2010), alcanzando mejor valoración los ítems relacionados con respetar el medio natural y evitar deteriorarlo, apunte similar al aportado por Ramírez et al (2012).…”

Engaging in physical-sport activities in nature should lead to an attitude of respect for the environment among participants. The objective of this article is to design and validate an instrument to assess the environmental attitude generated in this kind of practice within the sphere of training. The questionnaire has 16 items with 5 response choices (1, totally disagree to 5, totally agree). To validate the scale, a sample was used of 162 university students in degrees related to physical activity and sport (Bachelor's or Master's in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences) who were taking a course related to physical activities in nature. The reliability obtained with the Cronbach's α was 0.75. The results show that the scale of attitudes towards the environment in the practice of physical-sport activities in nature is a valid, reliable instrument from an ecological model. After its construction, the conclusions extracted indicate the advisability of checking whether physical activities in nature are carried out from a sustainable perspective so that if they are not, the strategies needed to transform them can be applied.
