除了直接测量之外，还有多种方法来考虑儿童的天性缺陷及其程度。众多研究提供了儿童时期变化的定量和定性指标，其中包括：儿童对时间的需求日益增长，导致大自然中自由和无组织的户外游戏时间比以往几代人少；行动能力和探索范围减少，包括步行或骑自行车上学的次数减少；对陌生人、交通工具和自然本身的恐惧日益加剧；肥胖和严重超重问题急剧增加；维生素D缺乏以及其他健康问题，部分可能与低水平的户外活动和久坐的生活方式有关。缺乏对物种的了解也可能是在日益城市化的世界中缺乏接触或参与大自然的一个指标。
In addition to direct measurements, there are a variety of ways to consider children’s nature deficit and its extent. Numerous studies offer both quantitative and qualitative indicators of changes in childhood, among them: perception of growing demands on children’s time, resulting in less free and unstructured outdoor playtime in nature than experienced by previous generations; reduced mobility and less range for exploration, including reduction in walking or riding a bike to school; growing fear of strangers, traffic and nature itself; and a dramatic rise in obesity and severe overweight, as well as vitamin D deficiency and other health issues that may in part be related to low levels of outdoor activity and a sedentary lifestyle. A lack of knowledge of species may also be an indicator of lack of access or lack of engagement in nature in an increasingly urbanized world.
