The concept of 'eco-anxiety'—a chronic fear of environmental doom or ecological disaster—has increasingly surfaced in modern psychological discourse, particularly among young adults. Because eco-anxiety is a highly subjective, deeply personal internal experience, a self-report method is the most appropriate research tool to investigate these emotional states and coping mechanisms.

A team of researchers is planning to conduct a self-report study to investigate people’s experiences, triggers, and severity of eco-anxiety.

Explain how you would conduct a study using the self-report method to investigate eco-anxiety. Justify your decisions as part of your explanation. You must refer to:

two closed questions you would use
two open questions you would use
two rating scale questions (one Likert, one semantic differential)
how the self-report will be administered (completed by the participants)

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