Connectedness to Nature, Grit and Depression Among Selected Filipino Adolescents

Abstract

The study determined the relationship between connectedness to nature, grit, and depression level among selected Filipino adolescents. There were 116 respondents, with an average age of 19.6 years, who accomplished a self-administered questionnaire. The findings show that the average level of connectedness to nature was 50.99 with majority of the scores in the average range. Around two-thirds had an average grit level. Less than three-fourths of the respondents had an average depression level. Connectedness to nature had and a weak positive relationship with grit levels and a weak negative relationship with depression levels. Grit levels had a weak negative relationship with depression levels. These relationships were significant. Adolescent connectedness to nature and grit should be enhanced in various settings as they are related to positive individual states. Further studies can consider larger samples of adolescents from various contexts and how the mentioned variables may facilitate better well-being in the youth
