  • Online:2022-07-01 Published:2022-08-09

Abstract:

The present study modified Perkins’ (2010) Love and Care for Nature Scale for use with Chinese children. A preliminary survey was administered for item analysis among 313 urban children, which followed by the formal survey for reliability and validity analyses among 464 urban children. The modified Chinese version of Love and Care for Nature Scale contained 13 items. The results of reliability and validity analyses showed that the revised Chinese version of the scale was unidimensional with acceptable internal consistency and test-rest reliability. In addition, the revised version of Love and Care for Nature Scale was significantly and positively correlated with the New Ecological Paradigm Scale and the Nature Experience Scales. To conclude, the structural validity and criterion-related validity of the revised Chinese version of Love and Care for Nature Scale is in accordance with the basic psychometric standard. The revised scale can be used as a suitable instrument for measuring emotional connection with nature among Chinese children (9 ~ 13 years old).

Key words: emotional connection with nature, love and care for nature scale, reliability, validity, Chinese children
