Abstract

Nature relatedness is connected with modern health worries and electromagnetic hypersensitivity Dömötör Z, Szemerszky R, Köteles F. Nature relatedness is connected with modern health worries and electromagnetic hypersensitivity. J Health Psychol. 2017 Mar 1:1359105317699681. doi: 10.1177/1359105317699681. Abstract Although nature relatedness is considered a positive characteristic, its relationship to constructs involving worries about the negative effects of artificial environmental factors is also feasible. A questionnaire assessing modern health worries, electrosensitivity, somatosensory amplification, spirituality, and nature relatedness was completed by 510 individuals. Nature relatedness was related to electrosensitivity, modern health worries, and spirituality. In a binary logistic regression analysis, somatosensory amplification, modern health worries, and nature relatedness were associated with electrosensitivity, and nature relatedness moderated the connection between modern health worries and electrosensitivity. In naive representations, "natural" might be associated with health, whereas "modern" and "artificial" evoke negative associations. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
