摘要

为了应对世界范围内对气候变化负面情绪日益增长的担忧,有必要为被测量的构念提供一个有效的、可靠的尺度,它不仅适用于西方背景,也适用于东方背景。方法采用大样本(N = 1567)对Clayton和Karazsia的13项繁体中文气候变化焦虑量表(CCAS)进行心理测量调查。CCAS经过翻译、回译、跨文化改编和试点测试。我们进行了描述性、量表信度、探索性因子和验证性因子分析。结果与原始量表的双因素结构一样,我们的研究结果揭示了13项CCAS版本的三因素结构,该结构涵盖了气候变化焦虑的三个维度:侵入性症状、对气候焦虑的反思和功能障碍。量表具有良好的拟合优度指标、内部一致性和信度。中国CCAS版本显示出高水平的信度估计,并且与幸福感、焦虑和抑郁、环境取向、自我效能感和信仰否认的相关构念存在显著的相关性,尽管相关性较弱。结论总体而言,CCAS中文版具有良好的信效度,可作为筛查中国个体气候变化焦虑的有效评估工具,从而为通过焦虑视角更好地理解中国情境下的各种气候变化相关情绪提供基础。

Measuring Chinese negative emotion towards climate change: Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of Climate Change Anxiety Scale

Introduction

In response to growing concerns over negative emotions towards climate change worldwide, it is essential that a validated and reliable scale is available for the generalizability of the constructs being measured, and it is not just applicable to Western context, but also the East.

Method

The present study aims to conduct a psychometric investigation of the 13-item Climate Change Anxiety Scale (CCAS) of Clayton and Karazsia in Traditional Chinese using a large sample (N = 1,567) of Chinese individuals in Hong Kong, China. The CCAS was translated, back-translated, cross-culturally adapted and pilot-tested. We performed descriptive, scale reliability, exploratory factor and confirmatory factor analyses.

Results

Unlike the two-factor structure of the original scale, our results revealed a three-factor structure of the 13-item CCAS version that captured three dimensions of climate change anxiety: intrusive symptoms, reflections on climate anxiety, and functional impairment. The scale showed good goodness-of-fit indices, internal consistency and reliability. The Chinese CCAS version demonstrated high levels of reliability estimates and significant, albeit weak, correlations with the relevant constructs of well-being, anxiety and depression, environmental orientation, self-efficacy and belief denial.

Conclusion

Overall, the Chinese CCAS version has good reliability and validity, and it can be used as a valid assessment tool for climate change anxiety screening with Chinese individuals, thus providing a foundation for better understanding various climate change–related emotions through an anxiety lens in the Chinese context.
