Abstract The objective of the present study was to analyze the relationship between relatedness to nature and its impact on one’s mental health and psychological wellbeing. This study involved relation to nature as the independent variable and measures of mental health and psychological wellbeing as the dependent variables. A two-group design was followed for this study wherein the NR-6 scale was employed as a screening tool to divide the obtained sample (N = 110) into two groups: group 1 (n = 19) included those who scored low on nature relatedness while group 2 (n = 91) included those who scored high on the same. The obtained results were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques, mainly percentage analysis. Findings indicated that a higher degree of relatedness to one's natural environment and regular exposure to greenery leads to a high level of overall psychological well-being and promotes good mental health. Future implications and limitations were also suggested.
