Nature experiences based on a nature- friendly attitudes are important not only for nurturing citizens to actively cope with environmental problems caused by climate change, but also for psychological well-being, so it is necessary to pay attention to nature-friendly education for adults. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the difference in nature experiences and ecological attitudes, the difference in group clustering by nature-friendly variables and mood state by the groups, and the effect of nature experiences and ecological attitudes on the mood states among the young and the elderly. As a result of the analysis, there was no significant difference in the nature experiences and ecological attitudes according to the subject and gender, but the correlation between the two variables was higher in men and the elderly. According to the nature-friendly tendency, university students and the elderly showed different cluster types and differences in vitality, but differences in anxiety-depression and anger were only confirmed in university students. The effect of nature experiences and ecological attitudes on mood states was clearly observed only in female university students and male elderly people, and it was associated with an increase in negative emotions such as anxiety-depression and anger as well as enhancement of positive emotion, vitality. These findings suggest that nature- friendly education based on nature experiences needs to be approached differently according to age and gender.

Abstract

Nature experiences based on a nature- friendly attitudes are important not only for nurturing citizens to actively cope with environmental problems caused by climate change, but also for psychological well-being, so it is necessary to pay attention to nature-friendly education for adults. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the difference in nature experiences and ecological attitudes, the difference in group clustering by nature-friendly variables and mood state by the groups, and the effect of nature experiences and ecological attitudes on the mood states among the young and the elderly. As a result of the analysis, there was no significant difference in the nature experiences and ecological attitudes according to the subject and gender, but the correlation between the two variables was higher in men and the elderly. According to the nature-friendly tendency, university students and the elderly showed different cluster types and differences in vitality, but differences in anxiety-depression and anger were only confirmed in university students. The effect of nature experiences and ecological attitudes on mood states was clearly observed only in female university students and male elderly people, and it was associated with an increase in negative emotions such as anxiety-depression and anger as well as enhancement of positive emotion, vitality. These findings suggest that nature- friendly education based on nature experiences needs to be approached differently according to age and gender.
