CN is thought to be one of the main factors leading to PEB (Tam 2013; Frantz and Mayer 2014; Gkargkavouzi et al. 2018) and, as such, there is a growing interest on the factors leading to CN (Di Fabio and Kenny 2018; Rosa and Collado 2019). For example, experiences in nature (e.g., nature-based recreation) are seen as a relevant determinant of CN (Duron-Ramos et al. 2020; Rosa and Collado 2019)...
