Individuals who belong to the natural world consider themselves as part natural word and feel to connect with environment. Wilson, who coined the term biophilia almost 20 years ago, provided a philosophical framework for the concept of being connected to nature. Biophilia is described as an individual's innate emotional connection to other living plants and animals. Individual well-being is also nourished by exposure to plants and flowers. Nature Connectedness hypothesis explained that linked between people and natural world has a tangible effect on their physical and mental well-being and behavior. Many researcher done their work on related constructs include ecological identity (Naess, 1973); explained ecological identity , while the concept if nature relatedness (Nisbet, 2009); and inclusion with nature (Schultz, 2002); described by (Nisbet, 2009); and (Schultz, 2002) respectively , all of which also take into account the extent to which someone experiences himself or herself as a part of natural community of life. People who have more connected and linked with nature consider themselves as a part of the wider natural world and society . In the current research, we explained difference between nature connectedness and psychological well-being between male and female by applied Connectedness to nature scale (Mayer & Frantz, 2004) and psychological well-being Scale by (Ryff, 1989) on adults (N=70). The result showed the significant difference between the male and female in connectedness to nature and psychological well-being that connection to nature lead the difference in psychology well-being among adults.Keywords
