It Also Aims To Determine The Effectiveness Of The Interaction Of A Number Of Demographic Variables (Gender, Age, Educational Status, Place Of Childhood) In Predicting Connectedness To Nature Among A Sample Consisting Of (178) Male And Female Participants Aged Between (18-61) Years. The Research Used The Connectedness To Nature Scale(CNS) (Mayer&Frantz,2004), The Short Version Of Triad Both The Light Personality Scale (Kaufman Et Al.,2019) And The Dark Personality Scale (Jones&Paulhus,2014), Social Introversion From The Minnesota Personality Inventory, And Environmental Action (Alisat&Riemer,2015).
