The walls are but an inconvenience for the determined: http://journals.sagepub.com.sci-hub.cc/doi/pdf/10.1177/02698... I'm not qualified to evaluate the paper, but here is their summary. Summary.
We found a linear relationship between lifetime
experience with classic psychedelic substances and scores on two
sub-dimensions of nature relatedness, NR-Self and NR-Experience. The more people had experience with classic psychedelics, the more they enjoyed spending time in nature, and the more they
construed their self as being a part of nature. None of the other
substance classes included in our model significantly predicted
any of the nature relatedness dimensions individually. NR-Self, in turn, was the only dimension of nature relatedness that positively predicted self-reported engagement in pro-environmental behavior, and significantly mediated the relation
between experience with classic psychedelics and pro-environmental behavior. That is, the perception of being part of the natural world — rather than being separate from it — that is heightened
for people who have experience with classic psychedelics, is
largely responsible for the increased pro-environmental behavior
that these people report. Notably though, as the direct effect of
experience with psychedelics on pro-environmental behavior
remains marginally significant after controlling for the indirect
effect, it is likely that it is not entirely driven by the mediating
variable we identified. Which other factors may contribute to this
effect, however, is for future research to determine. |
