Sexual minority (SM) individuals face significantly higher rates of anxiety compared to their heterosexual peers, largely due to the mental health impacts of stigma, discrimination, and societal marginalization. The present study explored how exposure to natural environments and nature connectedness may serve as protective factors against anxiety in SM individuals. This study used a video-based experiment in a sample of 212 SM adults to examine whether nature exposure was associated with more significantly reduced anxiety levels, as compared to city exposure. Based on queer ecology theory and empirical psychological evidence suggesting that exposure to natural environments is associated with lower levels of stress and anxiety, it was hypothesized that nature video exposure would be more significantly associated with reduced anxiety levels than city video exposure, and that nature connectedness would further moderate this effect. Participants were randomized to either a nature condition or city condition wherein they were exposed to video simulations of natural landscapes or urban cityscapes. Pre- and post-exposure measures of anxiety, nature connectedness, and related demographic data were measured. Overall, results supported the study hypotheses: participants randomly assigned to view nature videos reported significantly lower post-test anxiety compared to those assigned to view city videos. Additionally, higher nature connectedness was associated with lower post-test anxiety amongst participants in the nature condition. Nature connectedness did not moderate the association between experimental condition and post-test anxiety scores. This study's findings suggest that nature exposure, and even viewing brief videos of nature may enhance nature connectedness and serve as protective factors against anxiety in SM individuals, highlighting the importance of integrating nature-oriented interventions into mental health support for this population.
