Abstract

This chapter discusses connectedness as a construct and how it is defined and explored in various fields. It will focus on the psycho- social dimension of connectedness and thus, will highlight the definition of connectedness from a psychological perspective. The chapter then briefly relates connectedness to existing theories including Self Determined Theory. Recent research on connectedness will also be highlighted to provide the rationale and to frame the research described in Chap. 3.
