Eco-Anxiety Questionnaire

The turmoil caused by the impact of the climate crisis on the daily life of modern humans is so significant that a new term had to be coined to capture the unique nature of the distress it induces (Fawbert, 2019). Thus, the so-called “ecological anxiety” or “eco-anxiety” refers to any form of concern related to the reality of climate change and the loss of biodiversity (Hickman, 2020).

If you feel this might be the case also for you, take some moments to fill out the survey and evaluate how you feel about climate change, environmental issues and sustainability.

Each question below uses a 1–7 Likert scale where:

1 = Strongly Disagree / Never / Not at All
7 = Strongly Agree / Always / Extremely

This questionnaire is fully annonimous. Your responses will not be connected to you in any way.
