Abstract

This study examines the relationship between the Connectedness to Nature Scale (CNS) and traditional sociodemographic variables---age, sex, place of residence, and socioeconomic status (SES)---among university students, with a focus on the contextual influence of a female-majority academic environment. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 396 psychology students (66% female, 34% male) who were selected via stratified probabilistic sampling. The normality tests (Shapiro-Wilk and Kolmogorov-Smirnov) indicated non-parametric distributions for the CNS, necessitating the implementation of Spearman's correlation, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney U tests. The findings indicated an absence of a statistically significant association between CNS and SES (ρ = -0.023, p = 0.652) or age (ρ = 0.041, p = 0.415).
