The Green Consumer and Eco-Anxiety Study
Approximately 650 participants were recruited by researchers visiting a national Organic & Sustainable Living Fair to investigate the relationship between daily sustainable practices and eco-anxiety levels. The researchers used a correlational design.
To measure daily sustainable practices, participants completed a detailed self-report diary scoring their eco-friendly choices (e.g., recycling, zero-waste purchases, public transport use) over a 7-day period.
To measure eco-anxiety, participants completed a standardised psychometric scale evaluating distress related to environmental crises.
