Esra Angin*3  \n• A study was conducted using a correlational screening model to determine the mediating effect of altruism in the relationship between empathic tendencies, the nature relatedness and environmental consciousness. The participants of the study, selected via random cluster sampling design, are composed of 305 pre-school teachers working in pre-schools and kindergartens in a city located in Turkey’s Aegean region. The ‘Empathic Tendency Scale’, ‘Altruism Scale’, ‘Nature Relatedness Scale’, and‘Environmental Consciousness Scale’ were used as data collection tools. The analyses of the sub-purposes were carried out using the PROCESS macro (Model 4) developed by Andrew Hayes using the SPSS infrastructure. When the study results were examined, the indirect effects of the empathic tendency on nature relatedness and environmental consciousness were found to be significant. Thus, altruism was the mediator for the relationship between the empathic tendency and nature relatedness (β=.13, 95% BCA CI [.08; .19]) and for the relationship between emphatic tendency and environmental consciousness (β=.36,%95 BCA CI [.18;  \n.57]) .  \nKeywords: altruism, empathic tendency, environmental consciousness, nature relatedness, pre-school teacher  \n1 This article was developed from the master's thesis of the first author titled as “The mediating role of altruism in the relationship between the empathic tendencies of preschool teachers and the nature relatedness and environmental consciousness”.  \n2 Ankara University, Turkey.  \n3 *Corresponding Author.

Udeležence raziskave, izbrane z naključnim vzorčenjem v obliki grozda, predstavlja 305 vzgojiteljev predšolskih otrok, ki delajo v vrtcih in šolah v mestu v egejski regiji v Turčiji. Kot orodja za zbiranje podatkov so bile uporabljene lestvice empatičnosti, altruizma, povezanosti z naravo in okoljskega zavedanja. Analizepodciljev so bile izvedene z uporabo makroprograma PROCESS (model 4), ki ga je z uporabo infrastrukture SPSS razvil Andrew Hayes. Pri pregledu rezultatov je bilo ugotovljeno, da so posredni učinki empatičnenagnjenosti na povezanost z naravo in okoljskim zavedanjem statističnopomembni. Tako je bil altruizem mediator v razmerju med empatičnonagnjenostjo in povezanostjo z naravo (β = ,13, 95 % BCA CI [,08; ,19]) ter v razmerju med empatično nagnjenostjo in okoljskim zavedanjem (β= ,36, 95 % BCA CI [,18; ,57]) .  \nKljučne besede: altruizem, empatična nagnjenost, okoljsko zavedanje, povezanost z naravo, vzgojitelj  \nIntroduction  \nHumanity has always had a relationship with nature. Although this relationship is based on the principle of equality in hunter-gatherer societies, it appears that this equality is gradually disappearing in agricultural societies, while the idea that natural resources can be used indefinitely for human well-being appears to be dominant in industrial societies (Harper & Snowden, 2017; Lenski, 1966). During this process, the increase in human population and technological advances have caused severe consumption of natural resources such as land and energy. Also, environmental problems, such as ozone depletion, acid rain, and global warming, have acquired a global dimension (Steg & Vlek, 2009) .
