The possible dynamism of relational values is of extreme interest to sustainability scholars and practitioners, yet the fledging field of relational values has seen few research on whether interventions of any kind affect the relational values that people hold and express. Other fields that study related topics can provide insight into this question. This paper investigates how the field of environmental education has addressed relational values, without labelling them as such. Results demonstrate that recent environmental education literature explores different types of relational values. Connectedness was the most common relational values construct present, but its definition was not always clear. The environmental education literature provides evidence that relational values can be dynamic – that they may change after interventions such as environmental education programs. We argue that research at the intersection of environmental education and relational values may benefit both fields.

关系价值可以发展和改变吗?调查环境教育文献中的关系价值
关系价值的动态性是可持续性学者和实践者极为感兴趣的,然而,在关系价值这一新兴领域,很少有研究涉及任何干预措施是否会影响人们所持有和表达的关系价值。研究相关主题的其他领域可以提供对该问题的见解。本文研究了环境教育领域如何解决关系价值,而没有将其标明为如此。结果表明,最近的环境教育文献探讨了不同类型的关系价值。连通性是当前最常见的关系价值建构,但其定义并不总是很清楚。环境教育文献提供了关系价值可以动态变化的证据–关系价值在诸如环境教育计划之类的干预措施之后可能会改变。我们认为,在环境教育和关系价值观的交汇处进行的研究可能会使这两个领域受益。
