People's relationship to their own living environment is a key issue for a deeper understanding of pro‐environmental behaviors. How people perceive and experience a place may be a principal explanatory factor. Place attachment provides physical and psychological benefits to people and may have potential benefits for both human well‐being and pro‐environmental behaviors. If, the relationship between place attachment and place protective behaviors is confirmed, the relationship with general pro‐environmental behaviors is unclear. Therefore, this paper aimed to fill the gap and to test the relationship between place attachment, well‐being, and general pro‐environmental behaviors with 212 inhabitants of Reunion Island. First, factor analyses were performed to observe the structure of William and Vaske scale (2003). Second, path analysis was performed to examine the relationship between place attachment well‐being and general pro‐environmental behaviors. Results revealed different links between general pro‐environmental behaviors and each dimension of place attachment. Moreover, they highlighted the mediating role of well‐being. The results suggest that place attachment is an important construct on which managers could focus on to improve well‐being and quality of life and promote general pro‐environmental behaviors among population.

依恋对人类福祉和一般环保行为的影响

人们与自己生活环境的关系是深入了解亲环境行为的关键问题。人们如何看待和体验某个地方可能是一个主要的解释性因素。场所依恋会给人们带来身心上的好处，并且可能对人类的福祉和环保行为都有潜在的好处。如果确认了场所依恋与场所保护行为之间的关系，则与一般的环保行为之间的关系尚不清楚。因此，本文旨在填补这一空白，并测试留尼汪岛的212名居民的场所依恋，幸福感和一般的环保行为之间的关系。首先，进行因子分析以观察William和Vaske量表的结构（2003年）。其次，进行路径分析，以检查场所依恋状况与一般环保行为之间的关系。结果表明，一般的环保行为与场所依恋的各个维度之间存在着不同的联系。此外，他们强调了幸福的中介作用。结果表明，场所依恋是一个重要的构造，管理者可以将重点放在改善居民的福祉和生活质量上，并促进其在人群中的一般环保行为。
