摘要

气候变化对人类构成了前所未有的威胁。除了气候方面的明显后果外，它还会产生心理影响，比如生态焦虑。目的本研究的目的是验证测量生态焦虑的法语量表（EMEA），以有助于后者的理解和表征。为了充分反映其表现形式的多样性，项目的构建基于对18名生态焦虑者进行深度访谈的定性研究。本研究还分析了生态焦虑、对不确定性的不容忍和气候风险感知之间的关系。方法共691人参与了本研究的两个阶段：第一阶段（量表项目选择）262人，第二阶段（心理测量验证）429人。除了EMEA中包含的项目外，第二阶段还包括气候焦虑量表、气候风险感知量表和衡量对不确定性不耐受程度的量表。这项研究是在得到研究伦理委员会的批准后在网上进行的。结果研究结果揭示了一个由一个主因子和三个子因子（焦虑抑郁表现、关系障碍和对生态的痴迷）组成的层次模型。生态焦虑、不确定性不耐受与气候风险感知呈正相关，生态痴迷（第三EMEA子维度）与不确定性不耐受呈负相关。结论EMEA的心理测量特性可用于进一步的研究，也可作为卫生专业人员对重度或瘫痪性生态焦虑患者的评估和护理决策辅助。这也将有助于研究心理治疗干预的效率。

Better understanding eco-anxiety: Creation and validation of EMEA scale

Introduction

Climate change represents an unprecedented threat to humanity. In addition to the palpable consequences in terms of climate, it can generate psychological effects, such as eco-anxiety.

Objective

The aim of the present study was to validate a French-language scale (EMEA) measuring eco-anxiety, in order to contribute to the latter's understanding and characterization. To fully reflect the diversity of its manifestations, the construction of the items was based on a qualitative study involving in-depth interviews with 18 eco-anxious people. This study also analyzed the relationships between eco-anxiety, intolerance to uncertainty, and perception of climate risk.

Method

A total of 691 individuals participated in the two phases of this research: 262 in Phase 1 (selection of scale items) and 429 in Phase 2 (psychometric validation). In addition to the items contained in the EMEA, Phase 2 included a climate anxiety scale, a climate risk perception scale, and a scale measuring intolerance to uncertainty. The research was conducted online after being approved by a research ethics board.

Results

Results reveal a hierarchical model with one main factor and three subfactors (anxiety-depressive manifestations, relational disturbances, and obsession with ecology). There were positive correlations between eco-anxiety, intolerance of uncertainty, and climate risk perception, and negative correlations between obsession with ecology (third EMEA subdimension) and intolerance of uncertainty.

Conclusion

The EMEA's psychometric qualities will allow it to be used for further research, but also as an assessment and care decision aid for health professionals to help patients with severe or paralyzing eco-anxiety. It will also be useful for studying the efficiency of psychotherapeutic interventions.

期刊介绍： The aim of the Revue européenne de Psychologie appliquée / European Review of Applied Psychology is to promote high-quality applications of psychology to all areas of specialization, and to foster exchange among researchers and professionals. Its policy is to attract a wide range of contributions, including empirical research, overviews of target issues, case studies, descriptions of instruments for research and diagnosis, and theoretical work related to applied psychology. In all cases, authors will refer to published and verificable facts, whether established in the study being reported or in earlier publications.
