What is the main effect of gender on emotional connectedness with nature?
Females have higher mean levels compared to males
What is the relationship between emotional connectedness to nature and pro-environmental behavior?
Emotional connectedness to nature is linked to pro-environmental behavior
What is the significance of Emotional Connectedness to Nature (ECN) in relation to Pro-Environmental Behavior (PEB)? Provide a brief explanation.
Emotional Connectedness to Nature (ECN) is particularly significant in influencing Pro-Environmental Behavior (PEB). Psychological factors play a role in determining PEB, and ECN is one of them. It refers to the emotional bond or connection that individuals feel towards nature. The level of ECN can be influenced by exposure to and contact with nature, as well as the proximity to nature and the nature of the relationship. Gender differences in ECN and PEB have also been observed, with females typically displaying higher mean levels.
What are the three age groups that showed significant differences in emotional connectedness with nature?
young adolescents, young adults, older adolescents
What is the main effect of gender on emotional connectedness with nature?
Females have higher mean levels compared to males
Is there a significant main effect of living context on emotional connectedness with nature?
No, there is no significant main effect of living context on emotional connectedness with nature
What is the main effect of gender on pro-environmental behavior?
Females have higher mean levels compared to males

What are the two goals of the study?
The two goals of the study are to investigate age-related differences in Emotional Connectedness to Nature (ECN) and Pro-Environmental Behavior (PEB) from adolescence into adulthood, and to determine how much unique variance ECN, age, and living context contribute towards predicting PEB.
What is the hypothesis regarding the age-related differences in ECN and PEB?
The hypothesis is that ECN and PEB levels decline between early and late adolescence.
What is the goal of determining the unique variance of ECN, age, and living context in predicting PEB?
The goal is to determine how much unique variance ECN, age, and living context contribute towards predicting PEB.
What is the hypothesis regarding the relationship between ECN, age, and living context in predicting PEB?
The hypothesis is that ECN remains the strongest predictor among the three factors being analyzed.
What is the goal of determining whether age-related variance in PEB is mediated by changes in ECN?
The goal is to determine whether the age-related variance found in PEB is mediated by age-related changes in levels of ECN.
What is the hypothesis regarding the mediation of age-related variance in PEB by changes in ECN?
The hypothesis is that ECN mediates the relationship between age and PEB.
How many participants were involved in the study?

What were the four age groups of the participants?
