摘要

This study aimed to investigate the associations linking nature connection and pro-environmental behavior (PEB) in adolescents by constructing a chain mediation model, with a focus on the mediating effects of empathy with nature and moral identity. A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was administered to 379 adolescents aged 12—16 from three cities in Yunnan Province, China. The findings revealed that: (1) significant positive correlations were observed among adolescents' nature connection, empathy with nature, moral identity, and pro-environmental behaviors; (2) moral identity and empathy with nature are consistent with a chain mediating role between adolescents' nature connections and pro-environmental behaviors. This study suggests cognitive-emotional pathways that are statistically consistent with a link from nature connection to pro-environmental behavior among adolescents, providing a potential theoretical basis and practical guidance for fostering such behavior.
