摘要

如果我们想保护青少年的情绪健康，与他们交流气候变化可能是一项挑战。在这里，我们评估了自决理论（SDT）对气候变化沟通的情感影响。我们对来自美国的不同种族的青少年样本进行了两项实验，以检查青少年在阅读时对气候变化的需求一致、需求不一致和需求中立（控制）沟通的情绪。与阅读需求不一致（研究1）和需要中性（研究2）沟通的青少年相比，阅读需求一致沟通的青少年报告的焦虑较少。出乎意料的是，与阅读需要中性沟通的青少年相比，阅读需要错位沟通的青少年在学习气候变化时报告了更多的积极情绪（即快乐、自豪）（研究2）。我们的研究提供了初步证据，证明SDT可以为缓解青少年焦虑的气候变化沟通策略提供信息。

Supporting youth emotionally when communicating about climate change: A self-determination theory approach

Communicating with adolescents about climate change can be challenging if we want to safeguard their emotional well-being. Here, we evaluate the emotional impact of climate change communication that is informed by self-determination theory (SDT). We conducted two experiments with samples of ethnically diverse adolescents from the United States to examine adolescents’ emotions when reading needs-aligned, needs-misaligned, and needs-neutral (control) communication about climate change. Adolescents who read needs-aligned communication reported less anxiety compared with adolescents who read needs-misaligned (Study 1) and needs-neutral (Study 2) communication. Unexpectedly, compared with adolescents who read needs-neutral communication, adolescents who read needs-misaligned communication reported more positive emotions (i.e., enjoyment, pride) when learning about climate change (Study 2). Our research provides initial evidence that SDT can inform climate change communication strategies that buffer adolescents from experiencing anxiety.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Behavioral Development is the official journal of the International Society for the Study of Behavioural Development, which exists to promote the discovery, dissemination and application of knowledge about developmental processes at all stages of the life span - infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. The Journal is already the leading international outlet devoted to reporting interdisciplinary research on behavioural development, and has now, in response to the rapidly developing fields of behavioural genetics, neuroscience and developmental psychopathology, expanded its scope to these and other related new domains of scholarship. In this way, it provides a truly world-wide platform for researchers which can facilitate a greater integrated lifespan perspective. In addition to original empirical research, the Journal also publishes theoretical and review papers, methodological papers, and other work of scientific interest that represents a significant advance in the understanding of any aspect of behavioural development. The Journal also publishes papers on behaviour development research within or across particular geographical regions. Papers are therefore considered from a wide range of disciplines, covering all aspects of the lifespan. Articles on topics of eminent current interest, such as research on the later life phases, biological processes in behaviour development, cross-national, and cross-cultural issues, and interdisciplinary research in general, are particularly welcome.
