    El presente estudio permitió analizar la relación entre conectividad con la naturaleza, espiritualidad, bienestar y conducta sustentable en dos contextos culturales: las ciudades de Nantes, Francia y Hermosillo, México. Utilizando un análisis de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM), los resultados muestran que en ambos lugares la conectividad con la naturaleza favorece la espiritualidad y el bienestar personal, pero la espiritualidad no explica el bienestar. En el caso mexicano se observó que la conducta sustentable es explicada por la conectividad con la naturaleza y la espiritualidad, y que dicha conducta favorece por su parte el bienestar personal. Las perspectivas y limitaciones son discutidas al final.

    This study examines the relationship between connectedness to nature, spirituality, wellbeing and sustainable behaviour in two different cultural contexts: the cities of Nantes, France, and Hermosillo, Mexico. Using structural equation modelling (SEM), the results show that, in both places, connectedness to nature fosters spirituality and personal wellbeing, but that spirituality does not explain wellbeing. In the Mexican case studied, we observed that sustainable behaviour is explained by connectedness to nature and spirituality, and that this behaviour, in turn, favours personal wellbeing. The perspectives and limitations of the study are discussed.
