Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Climate Change Anxiety Scale (CCAS)

    The CCAS is the sum of 13 items (Clayton and Karazsia; Journal of Environmental Psychology, 2020). Each of the items is a statement on which participants are asked to rate their agreement on a 5-point Likert-type scale: from 1 ("Never") to 5 ("Almost always".) The range of the scale is from 13 to 65; higher scores indicate greater eco-axiety.
