What forms does #ecoanxiety have? In this new article, I had the pleasure of working with anxiety philosopher Charlie Kurth. Eco-anxiety can feel terrible,but for many people,it leads to searching for more information and making behavior/value changes. 1/5 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
Studies about #ecoanxiety usually research the stronger forms of anxiety. However, in interview studies, practical eco-anxiety can often be discerned. A major challenge for further research would be to integrate methods which allow scholars to see both forms of eco-anxiety. (2/5)
Several other scholars have explored the subject of adaptive eco-anxiety, with different terms (see studies by @iaojala). @BasVerplanken, @DrLizMarks & al. study various aspects of “habitual ecological worry”. And @sdclaytonphd writes of various kinds of #climateanxiety. (3/5)
Charlie Kurth’s book The Anxious Mind (2018) provides further reading about anxiety. Check out also his new general introduction to emotion research: routledge.com/Emotion/Kurth/… Kurth also recently came to Finland to @HCollegium, which helps further co-op. (5/5)
