Question 25

Research suggests that participating in outdoor conservation volunteering (sometimes called "Green Gym" activities, such as planting trees or clearing paths) can alleviate feelings of eco-anxiety (chronic fear of environmental doom) and boost personal agency. Psychologists want to investigate this further by examining what specific conservation tasks people perform and how these activities relate to their level of eco-anxiety. They plan to use self-report methods to find out the types of tasks performed and how participants' anxiety is affected.

Explain how you would use the self-report method to investigate what kind of outdoor conservation tasks people perform and if this helps reduce their eco-anxiety. Justify your decisions as part of your explanation.

You must refer to:

  • the use of a structured interview
  • one question that uses a Likert scale
  • the sampling method you would use to collect participants.

You should use your own experience of practical activities to inform your response.
