Exploring eco-anxiety in Italian adolescents: Psychometric evaluation of the Climate Change Anxiety Scale and theoretical insights into the association with pro-environmental attitudes. Frontiers in Psychology.
Innocenti, M., Benucci, S.B., Dockerty, G., et al.
Despite the disproportionate current and future health impacts of climate change for adolescents, they are given limited opportunities to mitigate its effect. This study aims to explore the psychometric properties of the Climate Change Anxiety Scale (CCAS) and investigate the psychological pathways through which climate anxieties impact pro-environmentalist attitudes among Italian adolescents. Findings show that higher CCAS is correlated to more pro-environmental attitudes, suggesting that eco-anxiety may play an adaptive role in adolescent psychology.
