Abstract

In recent years we have witnessed a great deal of media interest in climate change, echoing the growing public concern about a complex phenomenon with daunting consequences. This pa­per examines the impact of concepts such as “eco-anxiety” and “solastal­gia” in the Spanish and Latin American written and digital press. These neolo­gisms attempt to explain the emotion­al effects of climate change on men­tal health. Between 2015 and 2019 the words “solastalgia” and “Nature Deficit Disorder (NDD)” slowly made their way into the media, until 2019, when the term “eco-anxiety” became relatively successful in the newspapers. In addition to analysing the factors in­volved in the birth and evolution of this concept, the study describes the most frequently cited emotions, such as fear, anguish, stress, sadness and guilt. The results obtained indicate, on the one hand, that eco-anxiety is still a vague idea and not very present in the media, too often linked to negative emotions, in contradiction of clinical psycholo­gy advice. Meanwhile, emotions such as anger or indignation, which would enable a collective response to climate change, are often neglected.
心理健康与气候变化。西班牙语出版社生态焦虑的诞生
近年来,我们目睹了媒体对气候变化的极大兴趣,这反映了公众对一个具有可怕后果的复杂现象日益担忧。本文考察了“生态焦虑”和“慰藉”等概念在西班牙和拉丁美洲书面和数字媒体中的影响。这些新理论试图解释气候变化对精神的健康的情感影响。2015年至2019年间,“慰藉”和“自然缺陷障碍(NDD)”这两个词慢慢进入媒体,直到2019年,“生态焦虑”一词在报纸上相对成功。除了分析这一概念产生和演变的因素外,该研究还描述了最常被提及的情绪,如恐惧、痛苦、压力、悲伤和内疚。研究结果表明,一方面,生态焦虑仍然是一个模糊的概念,在媒体上并不常见,经常与负面情绪联系在一起,这与临床心理建议相矛盾。与此同时,愤怒或愤慨等情绪往往被忽视,这些情绪可以使集体应对气候变化。
