Psychometric Properties of the Measure of Love for Nature

Several instruments have been developed to measure the relationship between human beings and nature, one of which is the Love and Care for Nature Scale. Three studies were conducted with the aim of analyzing the functioning of the scale. In the first study (n = 51) the components of the concept were...
