Resumo: As scientific evidence of the severity of climate change increases, there are indications that this represents a significant psychological burden in the form of climate anxiety on the public. So far very little research has explored the prevalence, predictors, or effects of climate anxiety amongst the public. This study aims to address this gap by exploring climate anxiety in ...
Resumo: Climate anxiety is a phenomenon that is gaining importance due to the general public’s increased awareness of the worsening climate crisis. At present, climate anxiety is not operationalized consistently across the existing literature. It is important to gain more consensus on the definition and operationalization of climate anxiety to facilitate reliable and generalizable research and to further develop interventions ...
Resumo: I am a climate activist living and working in Nigeria. I have always had an interest in environmental protection, I remember feeling very hurt as a child when a Mango tree was unnecessarily cut down in our compound. Years later, I have become a youth organizer working with hundreds of young Nigerians on community-led, climate action through advocacy and ...
Resumo: Eco-anxiety, a novel conceptualization of anxiety in relation to ecological problems, has become a significant subject of interest in psychology. The Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale (HEAS-13) is a recently developed, valid, and reliable measure of eco-anxiety. The present study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the HEAS-13 in Turkish-speaking samples. 605 individuals, recruited via social media and the internet, ...
Resumo: Eco-anxiety encompasses climate change anxiety, including global warming, as well as anxiety about a multiplicity of environmental disasters, which not be directly caused by climate change The objective is to assess eco-anxiety in healthcare and non healthcare students and investigate a relationship with health behaviour, mental health, and environmental opinion. A cross-sectional study was conducted among voluntary university students ...
Resumo: This research investigates the impact of consumers' environmental knowledge, connectedness to nature and climate change anxiety on their intention to stay in an eco-resort. Data (n = 388) were collected from Australian respondents through a structured online questionnaire and analysed using IBM SPSS AMOS 28. Drawing propositions from the norm activation theory and integrating positive and negative feelings in ...
Resumo: Eco-anxiety is a growing psychological phenomenon characterized by chronic fear of environmental doom. Coupled with the rise of eco-advertisement, which promotes environmentally friendly products and lifestyles, it is crucial to understand how these factors influence travel behavior. This study aims to explore the relationship between eco-anxiety, eco-advertisement, and pollution escape tourism. Using a self-administered questionnaire, data were collected online ...
Resumo: As a risk amplification station, media coverage affects people's concerns about environmental hazards and mitigation behaviors. Substantial evidence has revealed that media coverage is a crucial predictor of eco-anxiety and pro-environmental behaviors. However, few studies have explored the causal relationship between them and whether the resilience paradox applies to exposure to media coverage of the climate crisis. To examine ...
Resumo: Worsening environmental conditions may amplify people’s emotional responses to an environmental crisis (eco-anxiety). In Portugal, young people seem to be especially concerned about climate change. However, this phenomenon needs to be interpreted using accurate instruments. Thus, this study aimed to validate the Portuguese version of the Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale (HEAS) in young adults and examine the associations among eco-anxiety, ...
Resumo: The fear of environmental doom (eco-anxiety) is a new and growing source of mental distress that could particularly affect the next generation of conservation biologists. With care and empathy, educators can help to prevent worsening the mental health of students. LINK Artigo Científico Neurociências São Pedro, V.D., Trierveiler-Pereira, L., & Baltazar, J.M. 2022 ...
Resumo: The use of qualitative research in empirical bioethics is becoming increasingly popular, but its implementation comes with several challenges, such as difficulties in aligning moral epistemology and methods. In this paper, we describe some problems that empirical bioethics researchers may face; these problems are related to a tension between the different poles on the spectrum of scientific paradigms, namely ...
Resumo: Eco-anxiety is increasingly recognized as a shared experience by many people internationally, encompassing fear of environmental catastrophe and anxiety about ecological crises. Despite its importance in the context of the changing climate, measures for this construct are still being developed in languages other than English. To contribute to global eco-anxiety research, we translated the Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale (HEAS) into ...
Resumo: Eco-anxiety is a topic of extreme importance in Italy. The present study aimed to assess the preliminary psychometric properties of the Italian version of the Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale (HEAS). Different internal structures of the HEAS were compared through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the four-factor model met the best criteria for adequacy of fit. Affective symptoms, rumination, behavioral symptoms, ...
Resumo: There is a lack of conceptual clarity regarding the nature of distress caused by confrontations with climate change as a generalised or global phenomenon (distress often labelled ‘eco-anxiety’). However, existing literature has suggested that existential concerns might be central to the experience. This article explores and conceptualises the experience of eco-anxiety through semi-structured interviews with 15 self-selecting adults. Data ...
Resumo: Although cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), GAD often shows a chronic clinical course and common deterioration after treatment. Many trials have examined the efficacy of treatments in GAD, but little is known about intake predictors of long-term treatment outcomes. This study examined potential predictors of long-term treatment outcomes based on the ...
Resumo: Eco-anxiety and climate anxiety are widely discussed in contemporary media and are subjects of growing research interest. However, there is a lack of research about the definitions and variations of these phenomena. This article analyzes various views of eco-anxiety from a wide range of disciplines. Insights from various anxiety theories are used to discuss empirical studies about forms of ...
Resumo: Eco-anxiety is the experience of persistent feelings of anxiety regarding degradation of our natural environment. Building upon the work of existential psychologists and our own Eco-Existential Positive Psychology framework, we consider how eco-anxiety engenders the existential anxieties of identity, happiness, meaning, death, freedom, and isolation. Regarding identity, ever-shrinking biodiversity and the threat this poses to the existence of our ...
Resumo: The climate change emergency is one of the most important challenges of our time, and its impact on mental health has been evident for years. It is very important for clinicians to delve deeper into these manifestations. There are a wide variety of constructs, symptoms, and scales to measure the impact of climate change on mental health. Eco-anxiety is ...
Resumo: The concepts of ‘eco-guilt’ and ‘eco-shame’ are now well established in the broad environmental discourse, both scholarly and public. It is surprising, however, that both phenomena are yet to be explicitly broached in tourism studies. Using data from digital forums, this article unpacks the phenomena as they arise in tourism consumption contexts. The findings illustrate that consumers participating in ...
Resumo: Eco-anxiety is a complex construct that has been created to grasp the psychological impact of the consequences of global warming. The concept needs a reliably valid questionnaire to better evaluate its impact on the risk of anxiety and depressive disorders. The Eco-Anxiety Questionnaire (EAQ-22) evaluates two dimensions: ‘habitual ecological anxiety’ and ‘distress related to eco-anxiety’. However, a version in ...
Resumo: Climate change is a serious threat to human health and the awareness of this threat can elicit ecological anxiety (eco-anxiety), which could be considered a rational and potentially adaptive response. However, the experience of eco-anxiety does not always lead to adaptive behaviour. The present study investigated whether differential patterns of selective attention towards climate-related information, and variability in this ...
Resumo: Researchers are increasingly trying to understand both the emotions that we experience in response to ecological crises like climate change and the ways in which these emotions might be valuable for our (psychical, psychological, and moral) wellbeing. However, much of the existing work on these issues has been hampered by conceptual and methodological difficulties. As a first step toward ...
Resumo: Purpose of review: Climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution present a major threat to health. Although emphasis has been put on physical health impacts, evidence on the mental health consequences is now also accumulating quickly. Given the rapid developments in the field, this article provides an expert opinion on the emerging research. Recent findings: Umbrella reviews are adding more ...
Resumo: Psychological responses to knowledge about the risks of climate change and other global environmental problems (referred to as climate anxiety or eco-anxiety) are distinct from the psychological impacts of direct exposure and increased physical vulnerability to environmental phenomena. Previous scoping reviews have either focused on both direct and indirect impacts together or a particular target population. We conducted a ...
Resumo: Introduction – Climate change represents an unprecedented threat to humanity. In addition to the pal pable consequences in terms of climate, it can generate psychological effects, such as eco-anxiety. Objective. – The aim of the present study was to validate a French-language scale (EMEA) measuring eco-anxiety, in order to contribute to the latter’s understanding and characterization. To fully reflect ...
Resumo: As climate change increasingly impacts global health, the psychological ramifications are becoming a significant concern, especially the phenomenon known as eco-anxiety. This anxiety stems from the chronic fear of environmental doom and affects a growing number of individuals, profoundly impacting both personal and collective well-being. Notably, children and adolescents are particularly vulnerable to the mental health effects of climate ...
Resumo: Anxiety relating to a multitude of ecological crises, or eco-anxiety, is a subject of growing research significance. We used a multi-study mixed-methods design to explore eco-anxiety in Australia and New Zealand, validating a new eco-anxiety scale. In Study One, we developed and tested a 7-item eco-anxiety scale (n = 334), finding that this captured some, but not all, experiences ...
Resumo: Two tools have recently been developed to reflect experiences of climate- and eco-anxiety. However, it is not yet clear how these tools perform across countries, thus highlighting a need to synthesise current evidence on their psychometric performance. We consolidated findings from existing validation studies on the Climate Anxiety Scale (CAS) and Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale (HEAS), and provided new evidence ...
Resumo: Research shows that eco-anxiety is implicated in mental health outcomes and pro-environmental behaviour, but little attention has been given to disentangling the effects of specific dimensions of eco-anxiety on indicators of mental health and pro-environmental behaviour. Using Australian cross-sectional data (N = 476), we first examined the unique associations between eco-anxiety dimensions, mental wellbeing and pro-environmental behaviour, and then, ...
Resumo: The notion of climate anxiety has gained traction in the last years. Yet uncertainty remains regarding the variations of climate anxiety across demographic characteristics (e.g., gender, age) and its associations with adaptive (i.e., pro-environmental) behaviors. Moreover, the point-estimate proportion of people frequently experiencing climate anxiety has seldom been probed. In this study, we assessed climate anxiety (including its related ...
