Nature-Based Welfare in Older Adulthood: An Eco-Appreciation Perspective
Summary
Older adults
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Environmental Psychology
- Well-being Studies
Background:
- Older adults' well-being is influenced by their relationship with nature.
- The Eco-Appreciation Perspective suggests a reciprocal link between nature engagement and welfare.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the reciprocal relationship between older adults' well-being and their human-nature relations (HNR).
- To understand how HNR contributes to welfare in older adulthood.
Main Methods:
- In-depth interviews with 60 participants aged 65+ in Israel.
- Sequential deductive-inductive data analysis.
Main Results:
- Four themes emerged: HNR as presence, connection, past/present/future, and benevolence.
- Gratitude and awareness of HNR correlated with enhanced well-being, purpose, meaning, and belonging.
- HNR offers comfort and resilience through current engagement and childhood memories.
Conclusions:
- Older adults actively deepen their nature connection for mutual benefits.
- Professionals in health, gerontology, and social work should leverage HNR for enhanced aging welfare.

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...
