The earth is under a great threat of destruction due to careless and exploitative anthropological actions. The current research explored the relationship between eco- anxiety (EAn), eco-activism (EAc) and environmental concern (EC) while determining the extent to which eco-activism gets determined by eco-anxiety and environmental concern. Three scales, namely, Hoggs Anxiety Scale, Pro Environmental Behaviour Scale and Taj Environmental Attitude scale were used. Pearsons correlation and regression were used for statistical analysis. A significant (0.01 level) mild positive correlation of 0.22 between eco-activism and eco-anxiety and of 0.33 between eco- activism and environmental concern was found. Regression analysis showed that eco- anxiety and environmental concern significantly predicted eco-activism. The relationship between the variables was further explained in the discussion section.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
