Outline of Research at the Start

This 3-study project seeks to identify factors that would increase the mental health and pro-environmental behaviours among working adults who live a relatively sedentary lifestyle. The study asks these questions: what is the association between natural spaces, mental health, and pro-environmental behaviours? Can the association between nature exposure and pro-environmental behaviours be explained by connectedness with nature and perceived sacredness of nature?

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

For Study 1, data analysis is underway. For Study 2, I have finalized the questionnaire; I will seek ethics approval in May, 2024. Data collection can begin in the summer of 2024. The design of Study 3 will be dependent on the results from Studies 1 & 2.
