“…While four factors could be more suited in the German version [15], the study from Italy found that a single-factor structure was valid [14]. In the Philippine version, a two-factor model was the most adequate [23].…”

Purpose. This study evaluated the validity and reliability of the Korean Climate Change Anxiety Scale (CCAS) translation. Design and Methods. Data were collected using an online survey from January 17 to January 26, 2022, from 459 adults aged 19–65 years. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed, and Cronbach’s α and intraclass correlation coefficient were evaluated. Findings. The CCAS’s Korean version can be used as an effective tool because its validity and reliability have been verified. Practice Implications. Studies examining climate change anxiety can help protect human security against climate change-induced disasters and achieve sustainable development goals.

“…Test-retest reliability in the Korean version was confrmed as well. Because diverse versions of the CCAS, including the Korean one, showed good reliability [6,14,15,23], using them could provide a chance to assess CCA among those speaking diverse languages.…”

“…However, model fit indices of the 2-factor model were close to the threshold limit value (Mouguiama-Daouda et al, 2022 ). The Philippine validation study by Simon et al ( 2022 ) showed that the 2-factor model with four correlated errors had a good fit for the data, whereas the 2-factor one without correlated errors showed an inadequate fit in the sample of young Filipinos. Thus, these validation studies conducted in different cultures have revealed contradictory results in the CAS factor structure.…”

Climate Change Anxiety Assessment: The Psychometric Properties of the Polish Version of the Climate Anxiety Scale

The Climate Anxiety Scale (CAS) is a 13-item questionnaire for assessing climate anxiety (CA) as a psychological response to climate change. The CAS consists of two subscales, namely, cognitive impairment and functional impairment. This study aimed to validate the Polish version of the CAS. The sample included 603 respondents (344 females, 247 males, and 12 non-binary), aged 18–70 years (M = 25.32, SD = 9.59). Based on the exploratory factor analysis results, we proposed a 3-factor solution (i.e., intrusive symptoms, reflections on CA, and functional impairment), which seems to be theoretically more consistent with the content of the CAS statements. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the original 2-factor solution and the 3-factor one had a satisfactory and a good fit to the data, respectively, as well as both were invariant across different gender, age, and educational level categories. Despite the fact that the 3-factor solution had the best-fit indices, we recommended to examine the CAS structure in different samples and use the overall CAS score in cross-cultural research. Cognitive and functional impairment subscales were positively correlated with personal experience of climate change, behavioral engagement, environmental identity, and environmental motives, but they were negatively correlated with climate change denial and sense of safety. The CAS subscales were correlated with depressive symptoms, but contrary to expectations, they were not associated with anxiety symptoms and any cognitive coping strategies. The Polish version of the CAS has satisfactory psychometric properties. Overall, we reported low CA levels in the Polish sample. Women and younger people experienced higher CA.

“…Recent research on the natural (not experimentally induced) emotional responses to climate change focused so far mostly on anxiety, measured in terms of general climate-related psychological impairment rather than the core affective response (feeling anxious, apprehensive or scared about climate change) (Clayton & Karazsia, 2020;Wullenkord et al, 2021). Studies in Germany, Philippines and Italy showed that this climate-related emotional impairment can be positively related to pro-environmental behavioural intentions and policy support (Innocenti et al, 2021;Simon et al, 2022;Wullenkord et al, 2021) (Albrecht, 2019;Berry et al, 2018;Chapman et al, 2017;Prescott et al, 2018).…”

There is a growing research interest in the affective aspects of climate change and their links with pro-climate engagement as well as with health and wellbeing. Yet, psychometrically valid instruments assessing the wide panorama of climate change emotions are limited. Here, we report on the development and validation of the Inventory of Climate Emotions (ICE), a self-report measure of multiple emotions experienced in relation to climate change. Based on qualitative exploration, literature review, along with expert and target population content validation, we formulated a large initial item pool. High psychometric quality of the ICE was secured in three quantitative studies conducted in samples from the general population in Poland. In Study 1, based on exploratory factor analysis, we indicate that the emotional experience of climate change can be viably captured by 8 underlying factors: anger, contempt, enthusiasm, powerlessness, guilt, isolation, anxiety, and sorrow. This structure was corroborated in Study 2 with confirmatory factor analysis on an independent sample. In Study 3, we estimated the repeatability of the ICE scores demonstrating that the ICE assesses moderately stable affective dispositions. Across studies, we provided evidence for the reliability and validity of the ICE in terms of internal consistency of the scales and convergent, discriminant and concurrent validity. We also showed the functionality of the ICE in the context of climate change mitigation and mental health. The ICE provides a novel integrative approach to climate change emotions, and it can be used to further the understanding of the complex role of emotions in planetary health.
