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.

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

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 study on #ClimateAnxiety in the UK: It examines the structure of a shortened #CCAS #ClimateAnxiety scale, its link to pro-environmental behaviour & the role of efficacy, led by Alice Roberts and co-authored by @wouterpoortinga.bsky.social (CAST), & @clinpsy-marc.bsky.social 📣

Climate Anxiety in the United Kingdom: Associations with Environmentally Relevant Behavioural Intentions, and the Moderating Role of Efficacy
Reports of ‘climate anxiety’ are increasingly emerging across the globe, including in the UK. This study aimed to advance the field by (i) assessing whether a shortened version of the Climate Change Anxiety Scale (Clayton & Karazsia, 2020) - the S-CCAS - can serve as an effective brief measure of climate anxiety, and (ii) exploring the relationship between climate anxiety and environmentally relevant behavioural (ERB) intentions, with a particular focus on the role of efficacy.
