之前的研究已经证明了自然联系在促进人类福祉方面的作用。然而，最近的研究强调理解驱动自然连通性和幸福感（主要是心理健康）之间联系的潜在机制。地方依恋是一个基于地方的社会心理学概念，被认为是解释这种关联。从日本国民（N = 2203）收集的调查数据的分析显示，地方依恋有积极的和显着的中介作用的协会。地方依恋贡献了30%的自然连通性对研究人群幸福感的总影响。此外，本研究还发现自然联结性与地方依恋之间存在着直接而显著的关系，而地方依恋与幸福感之间存在着直接而显著的关系。因此，目前的研究支持这样一个事实，即与自然联系相关的更高水平的幸福感是由于对自然提供的地方的依恋感。
Previous studies have demonstrated the role of nature connectedness in promoting human well-being. However, recent studies put emphasis on understanding the underlying mechanism that drives the association between nature connectedness and well-being, mainly mental health. Place attachment is one of the place-based socio-psychological concepts that is believed to explain this association. Analysis of survey data collected from Japanese nationals (N = 2203) revealed place attachment to have a positive and significant mediating effect on the association. Place attachment contributes to 30% of the total effect of nature connectedness on the well-being of the studied population. Furthermore, the study also observed the relationship between nature connectedness and place attachment, and place attachment and human well-being to be direct and significant. Thus, the current research supports the fact that higher levels of well-being associated with nature connectedness are due to the sense of attachment to a place that nature provides.
