| 中文摘要 | Zhuangzi said, "Co-exist with Heaven and Earth, and united with everything." Human beings live in the world and are part of nature, and the relationship between humans and nature should be harmonious. But humans, for their own development and anthropocentric perspective, have led to the increasing deterioration of the natural environment, such as climate warming. Albert Gore mentioned in his Nobel Peace Prize (1994) lecture, "The earth has a fever." Scholars have been exploring how to promote pro-environmental behaviors to solve the growing environmental problems. However, the role of nature-related factors, such as anthropomorphism, connectedness to nature and environmental guilt, on pro-environmental behavior has received less attention. Anthropomorphism of nature is imbuing the imagined or real behavior of nature with humanlike characteristics, motivations, intentions, and emotions. Currently, the mechanisms of the role of anthropomorphism on pro-environmental behavior are unclear. In addition, age is also a key influencing factor of pro-environmental behavior, but previous studies have mostly focused on youth groups. There is a gap in the age-related trend of anthropomorphism and pro-environmental behavior. To fill the above-mentioned gap, the present study integrated previous research and examined the role of connectedness to nature and environmental guilt in anthropomorphism of nature to promote pro-environmental behavior through a psychological model. In addition, we examined the age-related trends of the study variables and their relationship. In sum, this study explores the psychological mechanisms and age-related changes of anthropomorphism of nature to promote pro-environmental behavior based on the perspective of harmony between human and nature. In Study 1，we collected data from 400 participants using the anthropomorphism of nature scale, the connectedness to nature scale, the environmental guilt scale and the pro-environmental behavior scale. The relationships among anthropomorphism of nature, connectedness to nature, environmental guilt, and pro-environmental behavior were verified through structural equation modeling. The results showed that (1) anthropomorphism of nature was significantly and positively related to connectedness to nature, environmental guilt and pro-environmental behavior; and connectedness to nature significantly and positively predicted environmental guilt; (2) anthropomorphism of nature significantly and positively influenced pro-environmental behavior through the serial mediating effect of connectedness to nature and environmental guilt. In Study 2, in order to verify the findings of Study 1 and to further investigate the relationships and age-related changes between anthropomorphism of nature, connectedness to nature, environmental guilt and pro-environmental behavior, 1,364 valid data were collected in four age groups: mid-late adolescence (15-20 years, 334 participants), early adulthood (20-35 years, 402 participants), middle adulthood (35-55 years, 321 participants) and late adulthood (55+ years, 307 participants) using the anthropomorphism of nature scale, connectedness to nature scale, environmental guilt scale and pro-environmental behavior scale. The results showed that (1) anthropomorphism of nature was significantly and positively related to connectedness to nature, environmental guilt and pro-environmental behavior; and connectedness to nature significantly and positively predicted environmental guilt; (2) anthropomorphism of nature significantly and positively influenced pro-environmental behavior through the serial mediating effect of connectedness to nature and environmental guilt; (3) connectedness to nature decreased in mid-late adolescence and increased in early adulthood, environmental guilt weakened and pro-environmental behavior increased with increasing age, and anthropomorphism of nature first diminished and then increased with increasing age; (4) there was cross-age stability in the serial mediating role of connectedness to nature and environmental guilt between anthropomorphism of nature and pro-environmental behavior. This study highlights the complex nature of the association between anthropomorphism of nature and pro-environmental behavior, extending existing research on humans and nature, exploring the serial mediating role of connectedness to nature and environmental guilt between the relationship of anthropomorphism of nature and pro-environmental behavior. Furthermore, we explore the trajectories of the variables and confirming the stability of the serial mediation effect across ages. This contributes to further understanding of the mechanisms underlying the effects of anthropomorphism of nature on pro-environmental behavior and provides a complement to existing studies in terms of age. In addition, these findings provide a vital reference for environmental policymakers and have both theoretical and practical implications for improving residents' pro-environmental behaviors at different age. |
| 英文摘要 | 庄子曰:“天地与我并生，而万物与我为一。”人生天地间，是自然的一部分，人与自然应和谐共生。但人类为自身发展，以及人类中心主义的思想，导致自然环境日益恶化，比如气候变暖。艾伯特·戈尔(Albert Gore)在他的诺贝尔和平奖(1994)演讲中提到:“地球发烧了。”学者们一直探索如何促进亲环境行为，以解决日益严重的环境问题。但与自然相关因素，如自然拟人化、自然联结和环境内疚等，对亲环境行为作用较少受到关注。目前，自然拟人化对亲环境行为作用机制尚不明确。此外，年龄也是亲环境行为关键影响因素，但过往研究多聚焦于青年群体，拟人化和亲环境行为相关毕生发展轨迹还处于空白状态。为填补上述空白，本研究整合以往研究，通过心理模型，考察自然联结与环境内疚在自然拟人化促进亲环境行为作用。此外，我们考察了研究变量及其关系增龄趋势。总之，本研究基于人与自然和谐统一视角，探讨自然拟人化促进亲环境行为的心理机制及增龄性发展变化，为解决环境行为提供新思路。 研究一采用自然拟人化量表、自然联结量表、环境内疚量表及亲环境行为量表，共收集400份有效数据。通过结构方程模型，验证自然拟人化、自然联结、环境内疚和亲环境行为关系。结果表明:(1)自然拟人化同自然联结、环境内疚和亲环境行为显著正相关，且自然联结显著正向影响环境内疚;(2)自然拟人化通过自然联结与环境内疚链式中介作用显著正向影响亲环境行为。 研究二为了验证研究一的发现，并进一步验证自然拟人化、自然联结、环境内疚和亲环境行为间的关系及增龄性变化，采用自然拟人化量表、自然联结量表、环境内疚量表及亲环境行为量表，收集青春期中晚期(15-20岁，334份)、成年早期(20-35岁，402份)、成年中期(35-55岁，321份)及成年晚期(55岁以上，307份)，四个年龄组共1364份有效数据。结果表明:(1)自然拟人化同自然联结、环境内疚及亲环境行为显著正相关，且自然联结显著正向预测环境内疚;(2)在总样本及四个年龄组中，自然联结和环境内疚在自然拟人化与亲环境行为间发挥链式中介作用;(3)自然联结在青春期中晚期存在低谷，环境内疚随增龄减弱，亲环境行为随增龄提升，自然拟人化随增龄先减弱，再增强;(4)自然联结与环境内疚在自然拟人化与亲环境行为间链式中作用存在跨年龄稳定性。 本研究强调自然拟人化和亲环境行为间关系复杂性，扩展了现有人类与自然研究，验证了自然联结和环境内疚在自然拟人化与亲环境行为间链式中介作用。此外，研究还探索了相关变量的增龄趋势并证实了链式中介作用在不同年龄段稳定性。这有助于进一步理解自然拟人化对亲环境行为影响机制，并对现有研究在年龄方面进行了补充。此外，这些发现为环境政策制定者提供了重要的参考，对改善不同年龄阶段居民的亲环境行为具有理论和实践意义。 |
