An Examination of Ecological Attitude and Nature Relatedness Among Young Adults Participating in Outdoor Recreation Activities

Abstract


Outdoor recreation activities facilitate individuals’ connection with nature. The close contact with nature that such activities provide can positively influence individuals’ ecological attitudes and interest in the natural environment. In today’s era, where urbanization heavily interferes with human life, both outdoor recreation activities and the resulting interest and attitudes toward nature have gained increasing importance. Accordingly, this study aimed to examine the relationship between ecological attitude and nature relatedness among young adults who regularly participate in outdoor recreation activities.  A total of 461 university students who regularly engage in outdoor recreation activities participated in the study. In addition to a demographic information form that included variables such as gender, perceived income level, frequency of participation (monthly), and type of outdoor recreation activity, two measurement tools were employed: the “Nature Relatedness Scale (NRS)” to assess participants’ connection with nature, and the “New Ecological Paradigm Scale (NEP)” to measure ecological attitudes. Data were analyzed using SPSS 24. Skewness and kurtosis tests indicated normal distribution of the data, and thus parametric tests were conducted.  The findings revealed no meaningful differences in ecological attitudes or nature relatedness based on gender, income level, or participation frequency. However, individuals who engaged in outdoor activities individually rather than in groups exhibited notably stronger emotional bonds with nature. Furthermore, the results demonstrated a moderate and statistically significant positive relationship between participants’ nature relatedness and ecological attitudes. This suggests that individuals with a stronger psychological and emotional connection to nature tend to adopt more environmentally responsible and ecologically aware perspectives.

Keywords: Nature relatedness, Ecological attitude, Outdoor recreation.
