<![CDATA[This study examines whether nature relatedness predicts psychological well-being in a sample of urban university students in Indonesia. It was hypothesized that nature relatedness positively predicts psychological well-being. Participants were 605 urban university students who completed a nature relatedness measure and a psychological well-being measure. Simple linear regression showed that nature relatedness was a positive and significant predictor of psychological well-being (β = 0.267, R² = 0.071), accounting for 7.1% of the variance. Although the effect was small, it is consistent with cross-cultural evidence on the association between nature relatedness and psychological well-being. Theoretically, these findings are consistent with the biophilia, attention restoration, and stress reduction frameworks in a non-Western urban context. Nature relatedness may be a psychological resource that shapes how limited urban green space is experienced as restorative, although this was not tested in the present study. Practically, the results suggest that low-cost campus and urban policies that encourage engagement with nearby nature could be considered as part of student mental health services and green space planning.]]>
