Protecting nature in diverse ways: The socio-demographic spread of benefits from connecting with nature
Nature connection and its relationships with stewardship vary across social and environmental contexts. Through a nationally representative survey in Australia, this study examined engagement in four different pro-environmental behaviours (PEBs) (advocacy, consumer-conscious, conservation, and gardening), their socio-demographic correlates, and the associations with both nature connection and well-being. We found strong associations between natur…
Connecting with nature: The missing link between a satisfied life and a healthy life
Nature connection is an important leverage point for human wellbeing and planetary health. In this paper, we examine the varying relationships between nature connection and wellbeing measures through a nationally-representative survey in Australia. We find a positive association between nature connection and two measures of wellbeing: life satisfaction (measured through the personal wellbeing index; PWI) and health-related quality-of-life (measur…
Nature connection, wellbeing and pro-environmental behaviour across an urban gradient: Understanding the regional sweet spot
While there is growing understanding of the impact of urbanisation on nature access and nature connection, little is known about this pattern across the rural-urban gradient. Through a nationally-representative survey, we explore relationships of nature connection, wellbeing, and pro-environment behaviour across remote, regional, and urban Australia. We also examine two open-ended questions about an individual’s everyday interaction and meaningfu…
Socio‐demographic correlates of nature connection: An Australia‐wide study
A large body of literature illustrates that nature connection is associated with both higher wellbeing and a greater likelihood of displaying more pro‐environmental behaviours. This indicates that higher nature connection is an important leverage point for sustainability. It is important to understand correlates of nature connection to improve both individual well‐being, and the health of the planet. This study is the first survey to explore natu…
Australia's Wellbeing Framework: Is It Really ‘Measuring What Matters
Australia's newly established wellbeing framework, ‘Measuring What Matters’ (MWM), seeks to measure social progress and influence policy by reporting on 50 wellbeing indicators within five ‘themes’. In this article, we assess whether the MWM framework adequately measures what people in Australia value for their wellbeing by examining both the process of the framework's development and its content. Firstly, we consider whether the consultation pro…
Measuring Wellbeing Across Culture and Context – are we Getting it Right? Evaluating the Variation in Wellbeing Conceptualisations Throughout the World
Researchers, practitioners, and policy makers have been increasingly interested in measuring wellbeing over the last two decades. However, with many measurement tools and frameworks being replicated in contexts distinct from where they were developed, it raises the question as to whether we are measuring the right things. This study draws on data collected through a systematic review of participatory wellbeing frameworks to better understand how …
Migrant Status and the Wellbeing Gap: The Case of an Ethnically Diverse, High-Conflict Area in Indonesia
Communities with high levels of in-migration can experience substantial social, cultural, and economic change due to the upheaval in social dynamics and changes to the economy. Such upheaval can result in between-group inequalities amongst the native and migrant populations, with migrants tending to have lower levels of wellbeing compared to those who were born in the area. Through utilising a culturally adapted wellbeing measurement tool, the In…
Participatory Wellbeing Frameworks and the Secret to Impact
Research and policy based on the Capability Approach inherently seeks to improve the lives of individuals and communities in a meaningful way. One operationalisation of this is the development of participatory wellbeing frameworks, which ask communities “what does wellbeing mean to you?”. However, there has so far been very little understanding on the extent to which participatory wellbeing frameworks, and the Capability Approach more generally, …
Conceptualisations of wellbeing and quality of life: A systematic review of participatory studies
Measuring What Matters: Drawing on a Participatory Wellbeing Framework and Existing Data to Assess Child Wellbeing Outcomes Over Time
A growing body of research highlights the importance of increasing children’s involvement in the measurement of their wellbeing. Using data from Australia, this paper outlines the first known attempt to apply an existing participatory wellbeing framework to an existing longitudinal dataset to measure child wellbeing over time. This approach enables analysis of the key areas where life could be improved for children based on what they themselves v…
Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy and resistance: Correlates in a nationally representative longitudinal survey of the Australian population
Background High levels of vaccination coverage in populations will be required even with vaccines that have high levels of effectiveness to prevent and stop outbreaks of coronavirus. The World Health Organisation has suggested that governments take a proactive response to vaccine hesitancy ‘hotspots’ based on social and behavioural insights. Methods Representative longitudinal online survey of over 3000 adults from Australia that examines the dem…
Covid-19 Survey Participation and Wellbeing: A Survey Experiment
Individuals throughout the world are being recruited into studies to examine the social impacts of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). While previous literature has illustrated how research participation can impact distress and wellbeing, to the authors' best knowledge no study has examined this in the COVID-19 context. Using an innovative approach, this study analyses the impacts of participation in a COVID-19 survey in Australia on subjective …
