Anjum et al.

Yet the paper also illustrates a key challenge in fast-growing fields: literature syntheses built on search terms and labels can outpace the conceptual distinctions they are meant to capture. Our central claim is that the article maps a corpus labeled as “climate anxiety scholarship,” even though the query and the resulting thematic structure extend beyond climate anxiety proper to include adjacent eco-emotions that are conceptually distinct from anxiety-related phenomena. “Exact-term” search strategies may be precise about strings while remaining imprecise about constructs, especially when anxiety terms are combined with eco-emotions such as grief, despair, solastalgia, and generic “climate/eco-emotions.” This construct blur invites jingle–jangle problems, muddies thematic clusters, and weakens clinical interpretability by treating distinct constructs as interchangeable. Two remedies follow: sensitivity analyses contrasting climate-anxiety-specific and broader eco-emotions corpora, and stronger ontological discipline specifying which constructs are targeted and how they relate (e.g., <em>overlaps-with</em>, <em>is-a</em>, <em>part-of</em>). In bibliometrics, the query is the theory; disciplined queries yield interpretable maps and clinically actionable insights.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48390,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anxiety Disorders","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103154"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147656598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
