The detailed relationships between eco-anxiety and mental health in emerging adults
are examined in this study. Participants (N = 200) were between 18 and 24, and a
correlational research design was used. This study explores the relationship between
three variables, eco-anxiety, mental health, and climate change, using Spearman rank
analysis, and the analysis focuses on identifying the strength of these variables. There
is a strong negative correlation between eco-anxiety and mental health, and there is a
negative correlation between mental health and CCP score, which explains that higher
eco-anxiety could lead to higher eco-anxiety in individuals and people with low mental
health with adverse climate change perceptions. This study aims to give
psychoeducation about eco-anxiety and its harsh effects.
