Abstract(s)
Uma das maiores consequências indiretas das alterações no ambiente está
relacionada com a ansiedade que as pessoas sentem. A eco-ansiedade tem sido
relacionada com maiores níveis de comportamentos pró-ambientais, mas também com
uma possível eco-paralisia. Neste sentido, o objetivo principal deste estudo foi avaliar de
que forma a eco-ansiedade se relaciona com os comportamentos pró-ambientais e testar
se a eficácia, coletiva (no estudo 1; n = 103) e individual (no estudo 2; n = 105), modera
esta relação, podendo, assim, no futuro, ser a base de intervenções socio-clínicas para
fazer face à eco-paralisia. De uma forma geral, a eco-ansiedade está correlacionada
positivamente com comportamentos pró-ambientais, embora de forma inconstante
quando analisamos os fatores específicos da eco-ansiedade e o tipo de comportamento
pró-ambiental. Temos, também, evidência que parece suportar uma relação quadrática
entre ambas as variáveis, embora com pouca variabilidade no espetro mais elevado da
variável eco-ansiedade. Esta limitação parece poder explicar, igualmente, a ausência de
moderação tanto da eficácia coletiva, como da auto-eficácia. Sugere-se que se realizem
novos estudos com um maior número de participantes que apresentem níveis de ecoansiedade mais elevados e que se invista no desenvolvimento de instrumentos mais
adaptados ao contexto, que possam melhor mapear o contexto específico da crise
climática em Portugal
ABSTRACT: One of the biggest indirect consequences of changes in the environment is related to the anxiety that people feel. Eco-anxiety has been linked to higher levels of proenvironmental behaviors, but also to possible eco-paralysis. In this sense, the main goal of this study was to evaluate how eco-anxiety relates to pro-environmental behaviors and to test whether the efficacy, collective (in study 1; n = 103) and individual (in study 2; n = 105), moderates this relationship, and could therefore, in the future, be the basis of social-clinical interventions to help with eco-paralysis. In general, eco-anxiety is positively correlated with pro-environmental behaviors, although inconsistently when we analyze the specific factos of eco-anxiety and the type of pro-environmental behavior. We also have evidence that appears to support a quadratic relationship between both variables, although with little variability in the higher spectrum of the eco-anxiety. This limitation seems to be able to equally explain the lack of moderation of both collective efficacy and self-efficacy. It is suggested that new studies be carried out with a greater number of participants who present higher levels of eco-anxiety and that investment be made in the development of instruments more adapted to the context, which can better map the specific context of the climate crisis in Portugal.
