Oneness is a sense of profound unity with some other entity, typically a large, abstract entity such as nature or all of existence. This article offers a typology of oneness based on a review of oneness concepts in the psychology literature. The typology distinguishes between oneness experiences and oneness intuitions or beliefs, the latter being propositions about how self and other are connected. It also distinguishes between three perceived ontologies: expansion (including other in self), interdependence (self and other in symbiosis), and essential (self and other sharing some fundamental property). Confirmatory factor analysis (n = 102) supported the typology’s dimensions within the scope of nature, using novel sets of items based on restructuring extant oneness measures. Implications of the typology for understanding oneness with nature and its role in addressing environmental crises are discussed, including how these may interact with cultural context.

心理合一:一种类型学
合一是一种与其他实体的深刻统一感,通常是一个大而抽象的实体,例如自然或所有存在。本文基于对心理学文献中合一概念的回顾,提供了合一的类型学。类型学区分合一体验和合一直觉或信念,后者是关于自我与他人如何联系的命题。它还区分了三种感知本体:扩展(包括自我中的他者)、相互依赖(自我和他者共生)和本质(自我和他者共享一些基本属性)。验证性因素分析 ( n= 102) 支持自然范围内的类型学维度,使用基于重构现有单一性措施的新项目集。讨论了类型学对于理解与自然一体的含义及其在解决环境危机中的作用,包括这些可能如何与文化背景相互作用。
