Yet, so far no study considering the relationship between an aggregate of the four instances of SB (pro-ecological, altruistic, frugal and equitable behaviors) and connectedness to nature, had been conducted. Two hundred seventy-seven individuals at the city of Hermosillo, Mexico responded to an instrument assessing the four instances of SB, as well as a connectedness to nature scale. A structural equation model revealed a significant relation between connectedness to nature and SB, which suggests that people with higher connection to nature will practice more pro-environmental but also pro-social behaviors. Further studies, in which this connectedness and its implications are studied more deeply, are required. Al tomar como base la idea de que la Conectividad con la Naturaleza (CN) es esencial para afrontar los problemas ambientales, el objetivo del presente estudio fue demostrar la hipótesis de que las personas con una mayor conexión con la naturaleza realizan más Conductas Sustentables (CS). Estudios previos han reportado que este sentido de conexión podría aumentar la práctica de comportamientos pro-ambientales; sin embargo, hasta el momento, no existen investigaciones que consideren la relación entre los cuatro componentes de la CS (Altruismo, equidad, austeridad y conducta pro-ambiental) y la CN. En este estudio participaron 207 residentes de la ciudad de Hermosillo, México, quienes contestaron un instrumento que mide las cuatro instancias de CS y una escala de CN. Para analizar las relaciones entre estas variables se especificó y probó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales que reveló una relación significativa entre la conectividad con la naturaleza y las CS, lo cual sugiere que las personas con un fuerte sentido de conectividad hacia lo natural llevan a cabo un mayor número de comportamientos pro-ambientales, pero también pro-sociales. Estudios subsecuentes, donde se estudie de manera más profunda este principio y sus implicaciones, son necesarios para profundizar en las repercusiones de la CS.
