«Опросник "Люди и Растения": изучение отношения человека к миру растений»
Development of the questionnaire “People and plants” aimed at assessing individual variety in person’s interaction with the plant world. The method’s relevancy for studies on the restorative function of the natural environment is substantiated. 732 respondents participated in the study (Mage = 19.1, SDage = 2.1, 549 female, 137 male, 46 did not indicate their gender). The questionnaire includes 32 statements measured on a four-point scale, and five sub-scales: Joy, Esthetics, Practice, Closeness to nature, and Ecology. The new tool has satisfactory psychometric characteristics (retest reliability and consistency) and convergent validity, verified by comparison with questionnaires Nature connectedness and Environmental identity. Gender differences are found: all scores except Practice are higher in the female group. The questionnaire can be recommended for research, educational and psycho-developmental programs.
