The file includes supplemental materials to the research titled "HOW BIOTHILIA CONTRIBUTES TO EUDAIMONIC AND HEDONIC WELL-BEING: MIND THE DIFFERENCE". The role of biophilic attitudes in maintaining psychological well-being (contributing to personal authenticity and preventing distress) was investigated. Environmental identity served as a moderator of the connections. In total, 383 Russian-speaking respondents (77.3% female) aged 18 to 55 years participated in the study. A new modification of the Biophilic Attitudes Inventory – Russia was developed, including 20 statements and five subscales: Naturalism, Dominionism, Ecologism, Curiosity, and Security. Contrary to expectations, it was found that biophilia is not a universal factor of psychological well-being: whereas it contributed positively to personal authenticity it also contributed positively to distress. Environmental identity did not moderate these connections. The results are interpreted based on the psychological meaning of eudaimonic and hedonic well-being and taking into account the specifics of the sample.
