Abstract

Personal Distress moderates the relation between personality and prosocial behaviors.  This study found that it also moderates the relation between Connection to Nature and Environmental Intentions.  Results indicated that while Connection to Nature predicted Environmental Intentions at all levels of Personal Distress, the relation was weaker at high Personal Distress.
