Nature Relatedness Scale/Evidence
Method evidence record

Nature Relatedness Scale

The NRS is a 21-item self-report instrument measuring individuals' psychological connection to and identification with the natural world. Developed by Nisbet, Zelenski, and Murphy in 2009, it captures three dimensions of nature relatedness: self-identification with nature, environmental concern and responsibility, and immersion in natural experiences.
