Σύνοψη	The Connectedness to Nature Scale (CNS) measures the degree to which individuals feel emotionally and cognitively connected to nature as part of their sense of self. Developed by Mayer and Frantz (2004), the CNS operationalizes the construct of nature connection—the felt sense of kinship, interdependence, and belonging with the natural world. The scale is widely employed in environmental psychology research, health outcome studies examining nature exposure effects, and intervention evaluations designed to strengthen human-nature relationships.	The Pro-Environmental Behavior Scale (PEBS) measures the frequency and breadth of environmentally responsible actions that individuals perform in their daily lives, including recycling, energy conservation, water conservation, sustainable transportation, sustainable consumption, and environmental activism. Unlike attitude scales that measure beliefs or concerns, the PEBS captures actual or self-reported behaviors—providing a bridge between environmental intentions and demonstrable actions. The scale is essential for evaluating behavior-change interventions, tracking progress toward sustainability goals, and understanding which demographic and psychographic segments adopt environmentally responsible practices.
