Resumen

Se han propuesto diferentes medidas para estudiar hasta qué punto los seres humanos se conciben a sí mismos conectados a la naturaleza, concepto conocido como Conectividad con la Naturaleza. Una de estas medidas es el IAT-Nature, un test de asociaciones implícitas entre estímulos que ha recibido muchos comentarios en la literatura acerca de sus condiciones metodológicas y su relación con otras medidas explícitas afines. En este estudio se han puesto a prueba estas condiciones. Para ello 71 estudiantes universitarios completaron el test, encontrándose efectos parciales de la rotación de las tareas de clasificación. Además se han encontrado correlaciones positivas entre el IA T-Nature y la Escala de Conectividad con la Naturaleza (CNS), la escala de Inclusión de la Naturaleza en el Self (INS), la Identidad Ambiental (EID) y las creencias ambientales (Egiobiocéntricas y Biosféricas). A pesar de obtener correlaciones positivas con el comportamiento proambiental, los análisis de regresión indican que no es un buen predictor del mismo. Se discute la utilidad de este tipo de medidas en el estudio de la conectividad con la naturaleza.

Abstract

Different measures have been proposed to study the connection between self and nature, a concept known as Connectedness to Nature. One such measure is the IAT-Nature. It is an implicit association test between stimuli that has received many comments in the literature about its methodological conditions and its relationship with other explicit measures. In this study, carried out with 71 college students, we tested these conditions—finding partial effects of the rotation of classification tasks. In addition, we have found positive correlations between IAT-Nature and Connectedness with Nature Scale (CNS), Inclusion of Nature in Self (INS), Environmental Identity Scale (EID), and environmental beliefs (Egiobiocentrism and Biospherism). Despite positive correlations with pro-environmental behaviour, regression analysis suggests that it is not a good predictor of pro-environmental behaviour. The usefulness of this type of measures in the study of connectedness with nature is discussed.
