Hello,

A very interesting topic. But, HOW will you test and determine whether or not biophiia is a social construct or an innate human desire?

I don't know if you can separate the two. Have any of your sources done this? If so, how did they do it?

Another avenue to explore is the concept of Biophilia itself. Is it real? Do people have a connection with nature? Fear of nature? This is an avenue that could bear much fruit.

Give much thought to:

  • Your research question
  • Your experimental design
  • More sources. The ones you list are excellent, but easy. What do others say?

    Have fun,
    Hays
