Testing the Biophilia Hypothesis Through the Human and Nature Scale on Four Continents

We tested this proposition using the interculturally applicable Human and Nature (HaN) scale. We compare the outcomes from 12 previously publishe…
Public Visions of the Human/Nature Relationship and their Implications for Environmental Ethics

The first model, in which humans wield hi…
