Climate anxiety (CA) isn’t the problem. Powerlessness is. Two papers. Two key findings: No link with generalised anxiety or unhealthy behaviours (when CA is measured without including functional impairment) More climate action - but only when people have self-efficacy. (Links in next post 👇)

Some people experience climate change as a threat ‘out there.’ Others feel it like a wound in their own body. Why?

Our paper is out! Low self efficacy dampens the positive relationship between climate anxiety and pro-environmental behaviours. This has policy and clinical implications.

New publication! 📢 This study, led by Alice Roberts as part of her DClinPsy, examines the structure of a shortened #CCAS #ClimateAnxiety scale, its link to pro-environmental behaviour and the role of efficacy therein: (1/4) doi.org/10.1016/j.je... @cast-centre.bsky.social @clinpsy-marc.bsky.social
