Despite the global nature of environmental problems, research on environmental psychology has been mainly based on Western countries, and very limited studies looked into environmental psychological constructs and processes through a non-Western cultural lens. The present study examined the psychometric properties of the short-form Nature Relatedness Scale (NR-6) and investigated culturally relevant mechanisms that facilitate the positive influence of nature relatedness on green purchase intentions among Filipinos. Two studies were conducted to attain these objectives. Study 1 (N = 504) validated the NR-6. Confirmatory factor analysis yielded a stable unidimensional factor structure of NR-6 with good data-model fit and strong factor loadings. Study 2 (N = 366) tested a moderated mediation model indicating the mediating role of social responsibility on nature relatedness and green purchase intention relationship across the different levels of interdependent self-construal. Results indicated that social responsibility mediated the positive impact of nature relatedness on the intention to buy green products among Filipinos. More importantly, results showed a significant moderating role of interdependent self-construal such that the indirect effect of social responsibility was stronger among Filipinos with higher levels of self-construal than those with lower levels. Implications, limitations, and future directions are discussed.
