摘要

气候变化焦虑--对气候变化的巨大痛苦感--越来越被认为是气候变化对心理健康造成的重要影响。越来越多的文献记录了气候变化焦虑、信息寻求/回避和亲环境行为意向之间的正相关关系。最近有人推测,气候焦虑与其他结果之间可能存在非线性关联;例如,在极度气候焦虑的人群中,信息寻求可能低于中度焦虑的人群,因为信息寻求太令人痛苦了。同样,高度的气候焦虑可能会导致较低的行为意向。本研究旨在通过对气候焦虑、信息寻求/回避和亲环境行为意向之间的关系进行相关分析,并检验这些关系中可能存在的非线性因素,从而复制和扩展有关研究结果。结果证实,气候焦虑与信息寻求、回避和假设行为意向的测量呈正相关。四元回归模型为非线性关系的存在提供了混合证据,一些变量(如信息回避和假设行为意图)存在非线性关系,而另一些变量(如寻求气候变化数据)则不存在非线性关系。我们考虑了研究结果的影响,并讨论了未来的研究方向,以加深对气候焦虑与信息寻求、回避和行为之间关系的理解。

Examining the (non-linear) relationships between climate change anxiety, information seeking, and pro-environmental behavioral intentions
Climate change anxiety—overwhelming feelings of distress about climate change—is increasingly recognized as an important mental health consequence of climate change. A growing body of literature has documented positive associations between climate change anxiety, information seeking/avoidance, and pro-environmental behavioral intentions. Recent speculation exists about the possibility of non-linear associations between climate anxiety and other outcomes; for example, among people with very high climate anxiety, information seeking might be lower— because it is too distressing —than among those with moderate anxiety. Similarly, very high levels of climate anxiety might result in lower behavioral intentions. The present research aimed to replicate and extend findings concerning relations between climate anxiety, information seeking/avoidance, and pro-environmental behavioral intentions by correlating these variables and testing for possible non-linearities in the relationships. Results confirmed that climate anxiety was positively correlated with information seeking, avoidance, and a measure of hypothetical behavioral intentions. Quadratic regression models yielded mixed evidence for the presence of non-linearities, with non-linearity present for some variables (e.g., information avoidance and hypothetical behavioral intentions) but not for others (e.g., seeking out data about climate change). We consider implications of our results and discuss directions for future research to bolster understanding of how climate anxiety relates to information seeking, avoidance, and behavior.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Environmental Psychology is the premier journal in the field, serving individuals in a wide range of disciplines who have an interest in the scientific study of the transactions and interrelationships between people and their surroundings (including built, social, natural and virtual environments, the use and abuse of nature and natural resources, and sustainability-related behavior). The journal publishes internationally contributed empirical studies and reviews of research on these topics that advance new insights. As an important forum for the field, the journal publishes some of the most influential papers in the discipline that reflect the scientific development of environmental psychology. Contributions on theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects of all human-environment interactions are welcome, along with innovative or interdisciplinary approaches that have a psychological emphasis. Research areas include: •Psychological and behavioral aspects of people and nature •Cognitive mapping, spatial cognition and wayfinding •Ecological consequences of human actions •Theories of place, place attachment, and place identity •Environmental risks and hazards: perception, behavior, and management •Perception and evaluation of buildings and natural landscapes •Effects of physical and natural settings on human cognition and health •Theories of proenvironmental behavior, norms, attitudes, and personality •Psychology of sustainability and climate change •Psychological aspects of resource management and crises •Social use of space: crowding, privacy, territoriality, personal space •Design of, and experiences related to, the physical aspects of workplaces, schools, residences, public buildings and public space
