Resumen

La Conectividad con la Naturaleza se define como la forma en que las personas incluyen a la naturaleza como parte de su propia representación cognitiva. Uno de los instrumentos que mide dicha conexión es la Escala de Conectividad con la Naturaleza de Mayer y Frantz (2004). En este estudio se analizan las propiedades psicométricas, en cuanto a fiabilidad y validez (análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio) de una versión en español de la Escala, en una muestra de 430 estudiantes universitarios. Los resultados obtenidos muestran un factor principal que indicaría el grado de conexión con el entorno natural. Se revisa el propio concepto de conectividad.

Abstract

Connectedness to Nature is defined as the extent to which an individual includes nature within his/her cognitive representation of self. The Connectedness to Nature Scale by Mayer and Frantz (2004) measures this concept. This research examines the scale's psychometric properties including the reliability and validity (exploratory and confirmatory) of a Spanish adaptation of the Scale, administered to a sample of 430 university students. The results reveal one principal factor, which indicates the degree of connectedness with the natural environment. The concept of connectedness is also reviewed.
