Experiencing nature makes us more likely to save it

We all saw a study showing that spending more time in nature can improve health. But how does it affect each other's interaction? A new study has examined this relationship and found that if all of us were outside for a while, there was the possibility of becoming a more calm and more calm society.

This study, published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology, is exploring the relationship between experiencing ways in which nature interacts with humans. In this study, researchers led by John M. Zelenski, a psychologist at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, asked undergraduates to watch short videos and ask them to play sustainability-themed games did.

Several students saw some documentary on Natural videos like BBC Earth planets and New York City architecture. After watching the video, the students played the game. In this group, we decided how many fish to capture during multiple "seasons". In the game, players must pay 5 cents to catch fish, but each fish gets 10 cents. Their sea pool originally contained 50 fish and regenerated at a constant rate during the season.

The idea behind the game is that you need to learn how to benefit from fishing while leaving sustainable levels of fish for the future. Students played with computer simulated fishermen and said that they would "cooperate" - in other words, to not share their own interests but to share the fish in the sea so that the population will not be extinct

Researchers found that students watching videos based on nature harvest far fewer fish than students seeing city documentaries. "As of the 15th season, the ocean of 49.09% of the building conditions has been extinct compared to 28.57% of the Earth's planet," the author wrote.

In order to further organize this relationship, the researchers conducted another research - this time we used natural videos to record groups of forests, wolves and destructive floods. The building's video includes an exciting Las Vegas clip and an aging house. The idea is to show a comfortable and uncomfortable scene for both movie types.

Watch the natural video again The student makes a more sustainable choice in the fishing game than watching the video about the built environment. "These effects are not affected by natural pleasure," the authors point out.

Chris Mooney at Washington Post believes that people advocating climate change will use natural-based information rather than economic information to link nature and cooperation and promote its causes. According to this theory, environmentalists should not pay much attention to the use of political or economic information to promote their causes, but should pay more attention to the use of information based on nature is.

The significance of this research may be important. In particular, we believe that the students studied can take more sustainable actions by looking at natural videos. Please imagine what would happen if they really went outdoors. Walking in the forest can solve so many problems

Please experience nature. The time spent in nature is related to a more relaxed physical and mental state - you can enhance creative thinking just by observing the picture of the natural environment for a few minutes. Florence Williams wrote in her book "Nature Restoration" that "Nature will make us fascinated and concentrate from the top down." Combine the above three strategies. Walking in the forest is known to reduce stress hormones, you can reduce every part of the battle or escape the stress response. To get the full result, please put the smartphone behind (or at least turn off the power if you feel you need to bring your smartphone). I have never met anyone who regrets having hiked with friends on free digital devices.

As far as our nature is concerned, humans prefer customs - they make us comfortable. It is known as a comfort zone for one reason. When our way of doing changes and uncertainty goes into our lives things begin to become difficult easily. Experiencing digital transformation is a microcosm of discomfort - so employees are likely to be threatened. We may not be able to completely eliminate employee's doubts and uncertainties, but of course we can mitigate them. Consistency and transparency are important. Let your employees know about the situation and participate through the process. Give them the power and draw out the future for them that they can work hard. By helping employees understand the problem in question, you can ignite them
